I'm with Bev and Fay. Can you sneak out after the graduation ceremony? Which day is it? Because if it's Friday, or even Saturday, you could be here in time for Prom and so quality hanging-out time.

In other news, I'm not sure what the approved method in the past is for handling this, but I have a need and an attendent question:

How would I go about getting a good close ballpark estimate of how many attendees we're going to have at Prom? Because obviously, that's going to affect a) how much food we order for the buffet, and b) the individual cost to each person attending.

Based on what I'm seeing, this particular F2F is going to be a goodish size. But are we talking thirty people at prom? Fifty? A hundred?

Right now, they have us pencilled in as a 70-person event, but that's tentative and they know that. So I'd like to get that number closer to reality ASAP, so we can start sending juliana money for this.

Email? Or...?

How do I find out?

email might be easier and less cluttered? Or is a roll call a good use of thread?

Couldn't we do a poll?

ooh, a poll!

I like the poll idea, if that would work. Just a nice simple one, Two boxes, one with yes, I am attending Prom, and the second with 'I am bringing (one two three four) guests'.

Something like that?

I am pro-poll.

I am also pro-poll.

No clue how to set one up, though.

should we hold off paypal-ing juliana until after the numbers are nailed down some? It's on my list of stuff to do before flying to London this week.

Couldn't we do a poll?

On it.

For those of us who haven't been to an F2F before, how does prom work?
