Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

The wine lists say that other wines are available by request, so it may be possible with the beer, too? Can't hurt to ask.
Can I request New Glarus Ale and a cute bartender?
also, for the lazy/cougar crowd I recommend hanging out on the patio at the student center -- brats, cheese curds, beer, and boys doing things like kayaking and jogging.

Oh, hah. So my plan was I'd rent a car to take the dog to my dad's before the F2F to stay for the weekend. But I'm out tonight and get a call on my cell phone:
"Yeah, can I make a reservation for the weekend of June 19 - 21?"
My dad. Who has some convention or something he wants to go to in Chicago that weekend.
I told him I'm away that weekend anyway, so he's "well, I can take care of the girl then."
Um, yeah, that was going to be the case either way. But this sure makes it easier.

I'll second that.

And prolly that too.

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

Yes, I'd also be happy to pitch in to get the reserve beers (both the Capitol Amber and the Spotted Cow look really nice). It would make me happy like WHOA.

I think we should wait to see what the overall costs are and whether others are willing to chip in for 1/2 barrels. If only 2 or 3 people are interested, I'd hate to see them spending all that money for the keg when they probably won't drink it all, or even half. This is the frugal Scot in me talking, because $300 for the keg and $80 for the bartender adds up. The beer drinking part, though, is saying "hells, yeah" I'll chip in for a keg!

Whether or not I'm able to go this year is still very much up in the air, but I would strongly suggest getting an open bar if possible - carrying cash to Prom is not exactly practical given our traditional costuming choices.

I'll check, Jessica, I do think that's the best idea and I don't think I saw anywhere in their catering info that we can't have one. Some places won't let you and I know at least one of the hotels I got proposals from didn't.

usually what we do is have a "tab" that we've prepaid for. That way, no one has to deal with cash.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
As someone who can't be there, I still want to kick in some $$$, in the same way that people before me kicked in $$$ for F2Fs that *they* couldn't attend.
I'll PayPal to whomever; just please make a general announcement (maybe in Press?) about who I should send $$$ to.
