I don't know exactly when it will be too late, Deb, but I know that February is definitely not too late. My guess is that April will be the cut-off since that's the room deadline as well as when we have to pay the balance of our owed bills.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Excellent! Thanks, Kristin.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'll also likely be driving, but also probably staying at my parents' house, and will need my own car.

I was just going to send Kristin a check
No worries, you can send a check either to me or to Kristin.
Is that too late?
Not at all. I opened things up nice and early so that there wouldn't be a scramble at the end and so that we can see how the money situation is shaping up. I'll happily take money right up until the event as any extra that we get can help folks get there or get us nice stuff to munch on in the hospitality suite.

Just a note about that last - unlike other locales, my plan for New Orleans is to be so overstuffed from meals that having food available at the prom is a very low priority. If others feel the same way, we may want to take that into consideration when planning the overall amount to have on hand.

Here's the thing. We need to spend $1500 on Saturday night between food and drinks. In DC we spent around $400 on drinks. So we need to spend the money on the catering that night or we have to give them the difference as payment for the room. So, have an appetite for Saturday night. The food that the hotel has available looks to be quite good and a big chunk of the money we need to collect is going to this item.

So, the plan is drink and eat more?!
Damn, double-sorry I won't be there. I mourn seafood and raw oysters.
Mmmm. Raw oysters.

How much are folks budgeting for walk-around money?

Eat, drink, and be merry.
The hotel actually has an amazing selection of food on the catering list so the current plan is to raise enough money to have a very nice spread of food out and that will cover most of our money requirements.

Damn, I really want to go. Maybe I could, If I drove and crashed on someone's floor. Wait, I know a philospphy prof at Tulane where I could stay. Is anyone driving? Can I meet someone in Missouri, or Arkansas or Tennesee or something. I could maybe swing it.
