I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?  

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!

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?

I suggest that if we have money left over, we donate it to the B.org operating fund.

Our wings are not tired

If there's extra we either put it into the b.org fund or save it for next year.

I'd also rather just shoot for raising the full $2500 and paying to have the open bar. Otherwise the folks who are drinking are getting saddled with making sure that they spend at least $500 to get the room comped. I'm not sure what our ratio of drinkers to non-drinkers is here.

What are the costs/options for the open bar?

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

Brenda, don't know, but I can ask Lilibeth about it.

Oh, and in re the Prom cost, we'll need to give the hotel a 25% deposit - if my math is right, that's $375 plus whatever tax, but bumping it to $500 would be my own suggestion, if that's okay with Laura.

I'm good with whatever. Just let me know what you need.

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

Mmmm. This works for me.

Whoot! I have tickets! Arriving Thursday about 8 PM at San Jose - anyone else coming in around then? And then leaving Monday noon. Yay!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

We can do that right now, if need be.

juliana, nope - they say they don't need it until about a week before the event. My own take would be to let the reserve build up a lot higher first.

Memo to self, ping Lilibeth about the cash bar deal.

Okay. Also, FYI - if someone wishing to donate has a WF account, you can transfer it straight to my WF account. Let me know (via email) if that's a preferred option, or you can PayPal, or you can send a check.... Whatever. I'm easy.

edit And the PayPal account is staying the same - the better to move money in and out (IOW, I'd have a $500/month cap on my transfers out with a new, free account).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Anyone want to go to Alcatraz? I have a sick and twisted need to shut Em in a cell and take a picture.
