Looking at the contract, I'm going to check with Eva and see if we have the hospitality suite booked for four nights or only three. Because it looks to be four, and we really only need it for three, yes? As in, the first major wave will check in on the Thursday and check out on the Sunday, so we really only want to book the hospitality suite Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Checkout being noon on Sunday, no problem. I can be down at the hotel nineish on Sunday morning, to handle the cleanup, and the suite would close down in time to not be charged for Sunday night.
That saves $250 off my original estimate, plus the room tax. Some of that difference would go toward the state/local tax on the Prom food bev bill, and we still end up coming out ahead.
Mr Poll keeps timing out on me.
Me too, actually. I could set one up through LJ, maybe...

Sounds good to me.

This sounds about right, also.
Should we maybe give Mr. Poll half an hour to settle down and try then?
Oh, and a question for everyone in re the hospitality suite food. I can't be the only one out there with food allergies (please tell me I'm not the only one out there with food allergies). I'm planning a nice spread in the HS. Would a list of what's in which dish be useful? I automatically label stuff "vegetarian" or "safe for pescatarians" but would an ingredients list for each dish be an idea? Since I'm having them supply a corkboard or something of that sort, it would be easy enough to do.
You could set it up as a private Evite. Evite has a polling feature.
Spidra, the problem with an evite is that I need to know who to send it to. And I don't; I don't have a list of attendees. That's partly what I need. The poll in which people tell me, rather than me having to contact them, is what I need.
Deb, when I "catered" a big New Year's thing once, i listed all ingredients. Then the burden is on those with the sensitivities to choose what to put their lips around.
Deb, that sounds like an excellent idea. I know I don't have any allergies, but there are quite a few common and not-so-common ones that people would probably like to know about. Maybe something could be added to the poll as to food allergies, so you'd know what to stay away from or what needed huge arrows and danger signs on them?
