I can call them and check the AV prices/policies. What exactly would I be asking for?
I didn't mean to put open bar, it would be a cash bar. Oops.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Guys, I'm going to be a bit scattershot in here today - JZ's coming over for lunch and kitten worship.
If there's any information I've omitted from the SF bid, please to let me know, here and/or in profile email? That way, I can get back to Sheila and get responses.
I don't remember whether I mentioned it in the SF Pimpage or not, but the HICC is fine with us bringing in our own AV equipment, both for suite (if needed) and for Prom.
Out the door.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
What exactly would I be asking for?
A four-channel mixer, and powered speakers (or regular speakers and an amp to drive them). The speakers should be big enough for the room. They should know how big that is.
We would be supplying the things we want to run into the mixer. Namely, a laptop, a microphone and a theremin.
Actually, they should be able to throw in a mic at little or no charge. Find out about that.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I can do it without the euphemisms, then. Sometimes people get skiddish around technical-sounding stuff wrt polling was my thinking.
- Strong Positive
- Mild Positive
- Mild Negative
- Strong Negative/No
then?

We've never had an open bar.
We did in N.O.

Mild Negative
My problem with this is that it doesn't tell us whether the person will/probably will come or not. Would anyone else find it more helpful to say
Definitley come
Probably come
Probably won't come
Definitely won't come
or something along those lines?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But that's not really enough. If someone'd definately come, either way, but would prefer one, that isn't reflected at all.
I suppose Question 3 might be enough to deal with that.

Okay - keeping in mind that I tend to not be in here unless I'm personally involved (this time, an obvious yes), and don't have a lot of the history.
I don't want to kerfuffle anything here, so let's have a code phrase: if this method is kerfuffle-making, Debet, for heavens sake, say "DEB! BAD! NO!" and let's move on.
Since we only have two cities in the running, shouldn't it be simpler than this? Preferred, second choice, will attend either?
I have this uneasy feeling in the pit of my tum about suggesting that, but it honestly seems simplest, with only two choices on the table.
