F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.
Okay, I'm not going to sugar-coat it. We can't have prom at the Candlewood on Saturday, June 21. Between the time I talked to them last week and yesterday, they gave that date away despite the fact we would need that date no matter which place our room block was in. We can have the event room for June 20th, which is Friday night.
Argh. The sales staff at this place is giving me a headache.
Do we want to go ahead with prom on Friday night or do I start looking at the Great Dane to see what they have for Saturday? It's just across the parking lot.
I vote for a Saturday prom and if it's only across the parking lot...
...thanks for putting up with sales staff headachery by the way, Sail.
I'll do my best to see if they have room. It's getting so late in the year, a lot of places are already booked. Just in case, I told Shannon we'd take the room for Friday. I can cancel at no cost up to 10 days before the event, so it's no sweat off our nose. Wish me party.
I second prom on Saturday if we can get a room.
From Googling, it looks like there's a Mexican place right there too?
I read that as porn for a second...the sentence still made a lot of sense.
Is that Casa Lara, brenda? It's about a long block away.
I'm in favor of porn every day, not just Saturday.
Called the Great Dane. They have a room available for the June 21st. They are awful darn expensive, though. We have to reserve the room for a minimum of 2 hours at $275 per hour. Then it's another $275 for each hour after. That gets awful expensive. He did suggest that we can reserve the room for the two hour minimum and then spill over into the bar area. They have a dance floor upstairs with a DJ on Saturday nights, so we'd be able to party, it just wouldn't, after the first two hours, be private. It sounds like that's what other folks do quite frequently.
I'm leaving work, now, so I won't be able to answer any questions for a while. He's sending me all the info in an e-mail, so I'll let you know if I misunderstood anything.
