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.

have you met us?

I would strongly suggest getting an open bar if possible - carrying cash to Prom is not exactly practical given our traditional costuming choices.

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

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.

Seriously. Look...I'll be there. Beer consumption is not an issue.

I ain't drinking no stinky beer, although DH probably will. I'm a wino.

I'm on PayPal, but I think you need a special set up to receive money. I can check into that tonight and see what I need to do to make it happen.

I started to bemoan another F2F where I'd be forced to teatotal, but then remembered I don't like beer anyway.

You're teetotaling, Matt? But... I always think of you as a witty and somewhat louche southern gentleman! With leather pants.

I may be mixing you up with shrift a little bit.

Just for a little over a year now. My doctor basically told me I had a choice of any two of the following: (1) healthy cholesterol level, (2) alcohol, and (3) functioning liver.

So, I have avoided participating in various polls, or promising to be part of any needed block of rooms, since I doubted I'd be there, but I am now giving very serious thought to attending the F2F this year.

Not 100%, but I'm starting to price tickets. I'm already bummed at some of the announced absences, but I feel like I need to see my peeps in person.

Whoo-hoo!
