...and, here we go.
Open bar is a go. The time I set was 7 -11; that allows people who have to drive places afterward time to sober up, something I'm prepared to dig my heels in about, since I am fierce about drunk driving.
As it stands: Unlimited drinks, with our stated preferences on hand. Bar will be a presumed flat rate of $1000, with a $300 "window"; if we go over, she won't charge us, and if we go under, we just make sure we make up the difference to meet the minimum that the food menu leaves us with, of about $700.
So, unlimited, four-hour open bar, our choice of booze, no early deposit, presumed top end around $1000 but if we go over by a few hundred bucks, she won't charge us. edit: and if we get to $700 worth of drinks but don't go over, she won't charge us the additional $300.
Does this work? Speak now...
You rock, Deb. As does Lilibeth.
unless you aren't leaving until very late Monday or Tuesday or later, you might want to think about other options.
Hmm, my flight out is at about 5:30 Monday night. I suppose that doesn't qualify as "very late"?
So, who's gonna entertain me on Monday if not the penguins and otters?
Epic, San Francisco is a superb city to wander around in, and there are plenty of people around, I'm betting. I'll be at the hotel Monday morning, making sure the hospitality suite is properly cleaned up and cleared out, and settling up with the hotel, but if I'm not zonked stone fuckin' DED by afternoon? Wandering my city makes me happy.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
OK, that sounds like a yes....
Oh, she's also going to reserve eight or so spaces, marked for our non-hotel-guest prom-attending use, that Saturday night. It won't be free parking, mind you, but it DOES mean you won't have to wander the Mission at one in the morning in a corset, looking for your car.
I'm thinking that I'll put together a brochure of sorts, with basic info and whatnot, and have Nic run me off a hundred copies or so. I can then either get the front desk to hand everyone one with their room key at checkin, or else put a stack of them in the HS, or both.
Thoughts?
serial:
Can someone link me back to the booze preferences? I'm asking for about half a dozen bottles of dry bubbly, since I know there are at least four of us who prefer prosecco or decent champers to anything else, but I want to make sure everyone's covered.
Hey, is someone bringing actual guacamole? Someone should.
Who's bringing the guacamole?
I can't believe you suggested that. I'm hideously allergic to guacamole. Are you secretly trying to kill me?
