Ah. I'm not so much a tattoo pimp as I am just a PIMP. I got it now.
I'ma have to buy me a new hat and a velvet coat, then.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
We can probably help with the shopping, Nicole.
Don't forget the gold tooth though.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Much as I adore the aquarium, I'm almost certainly passing; it's going to be a long two weeks leading up to it, and Monterey is a very long drive back and forth. Plus, all the walking around, add together, end result is almost certainly a massive MS exacerbation. So I'll probably pass.
If it looks physically happier by then, I can always come along and just pay full whack at the door.

Aha!
I emailed Lilibeth about the open bar:
Hi Lilibeth!
We have a combined $1500 minimum to meet for Prom food and bar. The consensus I've been given is that we do an open bar.
How would that work? Right now, we're looking at about $800 or so in food, $700 toward drink, and possibly more. Would we prepay that, or would your bartender keep the tab on it, and we would make up any difference?
And she wrote back:
Let's do a prepay at least the minimum of $1,000, then have the bartender keep the tab after that. We are going to have a credit card on file anyway. What ya think?
Does this work? It would simply be a matter of refunding the difference, if I'm reading this right.

I'm okay with that, but it looks like a prepay, not an open bar.

yes, but it's prepay for the event, not for us, the attendees (still an open bar for attendees). Someone's gotta pay for the booze in the end, and it ain't gonna be the hotel.

OK. Someone please explain the difference between a prepay and an open?
Because I'm missing something. We have a minimum we need to meet. We have X number of people who are planning on drinking. How can the bar be "open" unless it's prepaid? What's the difference between the two and why is one better?
There's something in the mechanics of this bit that I'm not getting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm okay with that, but it looks like a prepay, not an open bar.
Yeah, I'm confused. And open bar should be a flat rate for a set time, not a prepay deal.

It can't. I think you're OK with your understanding. The open bar status only affects the end user, the attendee, the party guest.

Deb, an open bar would be, say $1000 for two hours (made up numbers). There's no accounting - what ever you drink or don't drink during that time period is covered.
