[Spooky]

Reccomendations:

- Have the chips pre-bagged and include a table/seat card of some kind in each (Paper folded up is probably best). When people pay you hand them a random bag of chips.

- Have a fridge or cooler full of ice for people's drinks (You are having them bring their own right?)

- Give yourself some slack, don't try to do everything yourself
- - Put someone else in charge of the clock
- - IF you trust them, put someone else in charge of the money/chips
- - Save the best seat for yourself. You will probably have to settle some issues, and you don't want to have to wiggle past other people when you do.

- If this is going to be a regular thing, I strongly recommend that you kick off things exactly when you say you will. Have house rules in place to cover late arrivals and no-shows, and be firm on them. This first one will set the tone for all the others and this is one of the most common gripes from new directors.

- Go over your house rules before the first card is dealt. Have them posted too.
