I'm not sure what vehicle we will be bringing, but we would have room for at least a couple extra people for jaunts.

Would it be terrible to do another poll/headcount now that people have tickets and reservations? I know that I have said I wasn't coming on all previous polls, but now I am.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I also said I wasn't coming before, but now I am. We could end up with more than 20.

Weighing in on the prom location issue:
I would be totally willing to pay $60-$70 for Prom in the hotel -- I think that's comparable to prices at past F2Fs. However, Matt has a good point about a small group of people in a large space; I'd rather have a smaller and more cozy space that we can more or less take over, even if some Muggles non-Buffistas are also present. And I'm certainly not averse to paying *less* for Prom. I wonder, though, if we might lose some of the uninhibited nature of the event if we have it in a more public area. Will we have a hospitality suite at the hotel to retire to afterwards?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm in Kate P.'s corner.

This is my main concern. Is there any way to get an actual headcount, say from the hotel itself?
Which reminds me, I suppose I should make my reservations today.

That's my concern as I look at other places.

Yes. The suite itself is pretty small, but I think we can pretty much take over the lobby/sitting room area next door.
I don't think the small party in a large room would really be a problem in the ballroom. It's considerably smaller than the room used for the Prom in SF and it's old and funky. Also, it can be kind of visually divided, I think.

Maybe we should look into that Moulin Rouge place? I can call Monday and see what's the what. There's a transportation issue there, but the atmosphere would be great.

Good to know - I had pictured it quite a bit larger. That eases some of my concerns on that issue.

The status is NOT quo.
We have achieved Scolapalooza! We are eating Mexican food and shall retire to our house for slounging after this.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
How many people are planning on getting to Atlanta on Thursday night, and how many are booking a room in the hotel for that night? There was a thing or two things we were thinking of doing Thursday night, wasn't there?
