It sounds like the best idea, just let me know where and how much to paypal.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

I'm cool with Manuel's. I kind of love that we can get a kilo of brie - edgier than a half pound or whatever. Thanks for staying on top of all this stuff, brenda.

Let's set a target of say, $25 or so per person for prom and another $10 for the hospitality suite? As we get closer the numbers might have to adjust, but as a rough target that would give us a decent selection of food and the first round or so of drinks, inc. tax and tip, and then we'd need to figure out how to handle expenses from there. Again, I'm just leery of waiting too long since we're - oh my gosh, less than two weeks away! Yay!
Sorry, sorry, back to business. Anyway, folks can start contributing to brendamercer AT gmail [insert standard full accounting, pay what you can manage, throw in some extra for others yadda yadda whatever we usually say at this juncture].
Then we can start arguing about food.
Getting closer!

Damn. I just realized I'm going to be tea-totalling at this hootenanny, when normally f2f accounts for about half my yearly alcohol consumption.

The menu looks great, enough of a variety of foods to keep everyone happy.

I think that sounds good, Brenda. I think that will be easier for everyone. Let me know if there's anything I need to do here. People will have to pay bar prices for drinks, but Manuel's is pretty inexpensive. Here's the drink menu [link] Manuel's does have some great beer.
Wings are a lot cheaper ordered from the menu than by the platter. Hmm.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
T-totalling, Matt? Perhaps you'll inspire me to step away from the liquor and not make a complete idiot of myself.
I'd be more excited right now, but I have a stupid business trip between now and F2F that's stressing me the fuck out. Boo.
What to wear to prom? I have nothing fancy. That fits. Basically something to dance in, right?

Something to dance in that makes you feel sexy.
Are we going to have candy necklaces this year? Does someone need to be in charge of that?

Oh, I'm all for idiocy. This is because of a doctor's restriction.

Whether we go with this option or not, I'd like to start collecting prom/hosp suite money sooner rather than later. I can offer my PayPal unless anyone else wants to jump in and handle that part of it.
Is there an option besides PayPal? I'm happy to send a check forward or bring cash in hand to Atlanta, but I'm hitting the road about a week in advance, so I'll need to know what to prep for before that. Also, in terms of DVD/CD stuff, do we need anything brought in specific?
