DH just called from H&R Block, and the F2F is starting to look less and less like a possibility. Not to mention every other trip we had planned this year. I am near tears right now -- we REALLY needed a refund this year, and...no. Very very no.

FUCK.

Oh, Jess, I am so sorry to hear that.

kicks sucky monday.

I'm so sorry, Jessica.

Oh, shit, Jess. Shit shit shit.

Damn, Jess! That is just...sucktastic. I'm sorry.

Popping in to jiggle a few elbows, with some information.

April's a lot closer than it was, and the cutoff date for booking rooms is 16 April. I'm going to hopefully be meeting with Sheila and the planners very shortly, and want to remind everyone that in order to guarantee the rates, we're going to need a total of 60 room nights, spread out over four nights. So, if you're planning on booking a room and haven't yet? Do it ASAP, SVP.

We're also looking at starting the fund for covering non-room costs. The projected cost for getting the banqueting room comped is $1,500 catering and drinks total. That's Prom. There's also the hospitality suite rental, four nights at $250 a night. I won't be staying at the hotel, but I'll be kicking in toward the hospitality suite rental and whatever else I can come up (as soon as this bloody car is fixed).

So, we need, what? A central list, with a projected headcount. Also, I'll be talking to the chef sometime next month, with an eye toward consolidating a prom menu. The hospitality suite will be stocked from Thursday morning on; I'm cooking, as are a few others.

So juliana has offered to handle the paypal account on this one

My PayPal addy is attached to my profile. Thanks!

You can wear hats! And talk in the accent, and say pants! You can touch my bottom!

Juliana, I prefer not to use PayPal if I can help it--would a check be okay, or too much of a hassle on your end?

I also don't use PayPal - but I'd be more than happy to send a check.
