Comments on: Is NYC Food Film Festival for real? http://noteatingoutinny.com/2007/05/31/is-nyc-food-film-festival-for-real/ Consuming Les$, Eating More Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:36:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: anonymous http://noteatingoutinny.com/2007/05/31/is-nyc-food-film-festival-for-real/comment-page-1/#comment-13940 anonymous Fri, 15 Jun 2007 21:25:07 +0000 http://noteatingoutinny.com/2007/05/31/is-nyc-food-film-festival-for-real/#comment-13940 The food tickets did look reasonably priced, and I was thinking of going to this festival. But when I got to the food ticket online checkout, there was a $7.50 processing charge and a $1.25 delivery charge to order the food online. That nearly DOUBLED the price of the food. And the $1.25 delivery charge was especially strange, because, um, I'm going to print them on my printer. There is no delivery. I would not have had a problem paying a cover charge in advance. But I don't like being suddenly hit with charges I didn't expect, and it makes me concerned that when I go to this event, there will be a number of things that cost money that I expected to be free. So, I'm leaning towards not going. Which is too bad, because it really sounded like fun. The food tickets did look reasonably priced, and I was thinking of going to this festival.

Also - so jealous of your foraging experience with the Wildman! I had plans to go the other week but they got cancelled due to rain :( Water Taxi Beach is so fun, but then again I’m a fan of anyplace you don’t have to wear shoes.

This sounds too cool to pass up (count me in!). Maybe you can make an exception, as you can justify that you’re paying for the films, not for the food.

Haha but seriously, surely you can make an exception to attend something as ground-breaking as this? PS I've never been to Water Taxi Beach either... but I think I've heard good things.
