Kristin I'm so sorry the Chaucer program doesn't know what's good for them but I'm glad I'll see you in Madison!

Ginger, I'll e you in a few minutes with details to put up.
I dropped off the signed contract. We should be in the system as of tonight, but you might want to wait one day before trying to make reservations to be on the safe side.
Our group name is Buffistas and our group number is 105203. I'd make sure to have both for reference when calling based on past experiences.

I'm going to bring this up and then drop it like the very hot potato it is...have we ballparked costs at all yet? Hospitality suite, prom room, open(or not) bar, etc? If not, we need to do so and get a PayPal account set up for collections to make sure we can cover this.

I've got all the price lists for a banquet room, catering, beverages and bar fee. I haven't had a chance to talk to the sales manager about what's available for a hospitality suite, but I've been assured facilities are available. They don't have their catering lists available on-line, so I'll send them to Ginger and maybe she can post them on the website so we can all look and them to see what we would like. They have quite a range of stuff available, so I think we'll be able to find enough for everyone to enjoy.
Banquet room: $250
Bartender: $80 per bartender (2 bartenders required for groups of 60 or more)
Carving station, Butler pass and Cocktail servers (I don't think we're going to get that fancy): $100 each
Additional beer bar available for a fee of $80.00 includes the bartender

Sounds very reasonable. The HS and Prom room rental are usually where we spend most of our money, so we'll have to see what the HS suite costs, too. (NOLA burns in my memory, oh yes, it burns.)
Thanks for all you (and everyone else who has contributed) have done, Sail.

Um, I might just offer to pay for this myself. Local brews, I expect?

I'm surprised you didn't ask if that meant you got to keep the bartender.

I shall withhold my request until I see him. If he's a strapping young midwestern boy . . . well, we all have our weaknesses.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Ask what the damage deposit is on him, Vortex.

I'm thinking he'll volunteer once he meets Vortex.
