The general consensus from the replies was to have the tournament on Saturday. So here's the 411:

Starting at 6pm SHARP, $50 buy-in, no-limit hold'em. Blinds start at $1-$2 and double every twenty minutes. Payouts for the top three positions based on ten players: First: $275, Second: $150, Third $75. First and Second place can split the pot if they come to a mutual agreement. This tournament should last 2-2.5 hours.

After the tournament, $25 buy-in, no-limit hold'em. $1-$2 blinds with rebuys allowed until everyone's tired.

I'll pick up at party sub from Subway and some chips (any suggestions what kind.) BYOB, but don't bring too much. I still have leftovers from the Superbowl party I'm trying to get rid of so I can actually put some food in the fridge. Thanks to the Xianti, there's also mass quantities of Vodka to mix in the freezer. The Crystal is off limits.
