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.

t waves at Bayistas

I'm here (and queer, as usual) and I hope to get used to it.

Alan is taking v. good care of me, and I'm looking forward to seeing y'all. SuziQ, expect an email shortly (finally).

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!

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.

Sigh...that's the weekend of Malice Domestic, which I'm already signed up for. Ah, well...

Odds are there'll be sales before then. I'll let you know when I see a sale.

You know, for May and for Atlanta, there's actually a fair possibility I can attend. Since Atlanta is a main interchange for international flights, it could be affordable.

Just because I'm bored:

Right now I'm seeing flights around $250 from Chicago, NY, Baltimore, Cincinnati; Raleigh/Durham; $275 from Boston; $300 from Columbus, Denver; $350 from LAX, San Francisco; Seattle's at about $400. And like Ginger said, this far out, chances are things will drop before then. With both AirTran and Delta hubs, it's usually possible to find a deal.

If I recall correctly, Atlanta is the hub for Delta? I'd check with them first. I can get a ticket out of Chicago for around $200 right now. If I try to fly from Madison? $400. Eep! I think I'll take the bus to O'Hare, it's around $25. Talk about savings.
