I'm so sorry, Jessica.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Oh, shit, Jess. Shit shit shit.

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.

My PayPal addy is attached to my profile. Thanks!

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.

Our wings are not tired.
Still waiting on DH to make decisions before I make my reservations. Airfare is pretty cheap from here. DH has the option of participating in a big basketball thing here the week before F2F weekend and he has to be in Baltimore the Monday after. He wants to go with me of course, but he has to make the decision now! If he decides to play ball instead I will come and get a roomie. See Laura tapping her foot impatiently.
PayPal works for me. (I use it far too often) So, what are we looking at in the cost per person calculations? Understanding that some are able to kick in more than others. $50 $60 $70 We have $2,500 in costs with suite, food and drink and x attendees?
Apologies for not getting all the links into the site yet. I've been crazy buried in work and stuff. It's on my list. The fun list, ya know the list that comes after the work list.

I am Piss-Poor Math Woman, but as an equation, that sounds right to me. So we need at least an approximate headcount, and we'll need it relatively soon, methinks, sometime over the next couple of weeks.
Because the F2F. it is in two months.
