Sorry, Aimee. You're the one putting your future livelihood and sanity ahead of F2Fing.
I was just thinking, literally seconds ago, that I need a manicure and going with Buffistas might be more fun than hitting the Nails place next to Raley's.
I am in favor of ordering some snacks ahead of time, just to save hassle. The hummus tray, spanokopita, and jalapeno cheese dip (+salsa) sound good to me, with wings and or chicken bites for the carnivores. I like to graze while I'm drinking, even after a lovely dinner. Which, by the way, I am up for - I've never been to a Tapas Bar and I like the idea of being next door making for a relatively quick getting back to the hotel and primping before prom transition.
Love the idea of webcasting, don't know how it works but I have the impression that the AV iChat thing is more like a conference call than a cast with invitations and suchlike. But that could be mistaken. Whatever is technically feasible, I am for it.
Aimee, what? I thought y'all were coming!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were, but then I got a job interview in Michigan and our leave date got pushed back - we're leaving tomorrow instead of today and after 4 days in the car and then 2 days in a hotel, we're afraid the pets would eat us.
Key Lime Pie is a neat spa right down the street. Not the cheapest, though.
Here's some other neighborhood places:

Not listed but likely of interest to some of us is Soul Vegetarian which might make a nice lunch or brunch place.
Sad that there will be no Miracleborns, but good luck with the interview.
I think I will go ahead and order some stuff (if only to cement our reservation for the room). How does this sound:
Veggie platter
Hummus tray
Jalapeno dip w/chips and salsa
Spanakopita tray
Maybe one other item, like chicken bites?
With tax and tip that would come out to about $300.
The party menu is here if anyone else wants to weigh in on amounts/choices. [link]
Manuel's has great wings, but it appears to be cheaper to order them from the menu, The spanakopita probably started life frozen, but I think it does in a lot of places.
I know very little of the spa, as my fingernails will attest. I can recommend a hair salon, a woman who does threading and a chiropractor. I have known several people who have worked at Natural Body [link] and I've seen some good reviews. We'd have to drive, but there are three that are within 15-20 minutes. I can check with the people at the salon to see if they recommend anything in walking distance.
My one true hair guy is (or was) at Van Michael's, down the street from Key Lime Pie. I should call and see if he's still around.
If he's not still at Van Michael's, one of my hair stylist friends may know where he is. The hair styling world in Atlanta seems to be pretty incestuous.
