I wonder, though, if we might lose some of the uninhibited nature of the event if we have it in a more public area.
That's my concern as I look at other places.
Will we have a hospitality suite at the hotel to retire to afterwards?
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.
We have achieved Scolapalooza! We are eating Mexican food and shall retire to our house for slounging after this.
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?
I was going to come in on Thursday.
(Which reminds me I need to email Kate P.)
well, there's the whiskey thing on Thursday.
DCistas, you have mail via the listserv!
For -t especially, but also really for anyone who's tangled with jury duty: How Did YOU Avoid Jury Duty?
Hee.
I actually did the "just not showing up" last month after the people who live in the apartment I was in 2 places ago let me know that a jury duty summons had shown up for me there. I tried to call to tell them I don't live there anymore, but no one ever answered the phone down at the Office of Whatever - none of this fancy-dancy website business. And then I got the summons for here. I think they're in cahoots.
My current plan is to come in on Thursday. Although there's a good chance now that I'll be renting a car, I'm not sure though. I wouldn't be going to the whiskey thing.
