And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

With a little over 40 votes in, I can safely say that we all like food.

Here is a thought I had, though. Each of those platters is 100 pieces. If we order 8 trays (to make our $1000 target), that's 800 pieces of food. If there are 50 people at Prom who eat, that's 16 pieces per person, which is a LOT for a cocktail party.

I wonder if we wouldn't be better served ordering a little less food, and insted putting the money towards an open bar for a few hours?

[eta: Or we could just order all the really expensive food....]

Our wings are not tired

In NO we ordered a bunch of food and it didn't really get eaten. It was all very good, but there is a tendency for people to go out to dinner before the party or to have a late lunch. I'm in favor of the open bar for a few hours.

That makes a lot of sense. What do you guys think you're trying to do here? Make us all look intelligent, or something?

Certainly not.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I like the open bar option, as well. That's really a lot of food, even for a crowd that's promising to be a good size.

I'll even make 'em stock something uber-dry and bubbly for me, since that's the only alcohol I drink. Heh.

Yep, that's what I was thinking. I think food is a great idea (because who doesn't love finger food, plus there will definitely be attendees who can't afford to eat out all weekend), but if it's a choice between an open bar and tons of leftovers, I think the bar would be a better use of our funds.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Are you hotel-ing or sofa-surfing?

Well, cheaper is better on my salary. I'm hoping to have saved a tad by then, but a sofa or a roomie would help if there are still those available.

I'm unlikely to book immediately, so I hit "undecided" on the poll for my attendance purposes.

Also, yay food, yay open bar, yay gorgeous gorgeous swag, yay Buffista parties.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Speaking of roomies, I have space in my room. I currently have a king reserved, but will change that to a double. Would love a roomie.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Also in favor of open bar.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Can I vote for BBQ Chez Grabien?

And I've been terribly remiss--what's the cover for prom?
