I just got Melissa back on the phone. We could also have the weekends of:
April 20
April 27 (Inman Park Festival. Lots of fun, lots more traffic)
May 4
After that, you get into graduations and heat. Should I run a poll among all four dates?
Tell me more good stuff about me.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

I think that would be good. It sounds like the later dates have more potential for larger numbers of people.

April 27 (Inman Park Festival. Lots of fun, lots more traffic)
eh, I think that traffic shouldn't be a serious consideration. Traffic in Atlanta blows chunks wherever you go.

The status is NOT quo.
Go April 20th! Choose April 20th!

Perk Oh, April might, maybe, be doable for me.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I just found out that omnis_audis has never seen Shaun of the Dead. We're watching it at my house Monday night unless someone with a bigger TV invites us over. Anybody else manage to miss this gem?

Sorry didn't mean to kill the thread.
Re: The Once More With Feeling sing-along: The theatre doesn't have to aquire a film version. All they need is a digital projector. Of course, they have to be able to fit it in their projection booth but that's usually not too hard.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I sent an e-mail to the Bay Area list regarding brunch with smonster next Saturday. If you didn't get it and want to join us, just pop an e-mail to my profile addy.
I love it when Buffista get together!

Here are the poll results:
April 13, 2007
Yes (34%)
No (34%)
Maybe (32%)
29 total votes
April 20, 2007
Yes (40%)
No (36%)
Maybe (24%)
30 total votes
April 27,2007
Yes (36%)
No (26%)
Maybe (36%)
30 total votes
May 4, 2007
Yes (44%)
No (20%)
Maybe (34%)
29 total votes
And the winner is: May 4
There's really no way to predict the temperature, but that early in May is usually pretty moderate. The high can range from 50 to the mid 70s.
The next question is "Do we need to rent the ballroom for prom?"
Here is a comparison of room rates with and without ballroom rental:
Single: $62.95/$81.85
Queen:$77.35/$89.95
Double: $86.35/$99.95
Suite: $95.35/$105.95
We'd pay $1,000 to $1,200 for ballroom rental, plus food, which would be less than hotel catering; alcohol; a bartender; and snacks and drinks for the hospitality suite. Does anyone have any expertise in figuring out what it would cost to stock the bar?
I can also call Manuel's [link] tomorrow and see if I can get some figures. One problem for some of us is that the smoke sneaks into nonsmoking areas, although the haze of smoke has definitely gone down from the old days.
