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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
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.

I wonder if they can they give us that area at all? I couldn't tell for sure from the pictures, but it looked like their private room was very much booths and stuff - not really a banquet space. Hmmm.
I'm pissed at that hotel. What on earth?

I think their sales staff is very unprofessional. It seems to be a couple of younger women filling in for the regular sales manager who happens to be on maternity leave right now. There's times I don't get callbacks, they get the info I give them confused, they give away our room! If they had any doubts (and I don't think they should have) the least they could have done was called to verify with me first.
Anyway, I received the info from Great Dane. It is the cost I thought it was, except there's some stuff at the bottom I'm not quite sure what it means as I don't speak catering very well.
eta: Ack! Formatting! Let me see if I can render it readable in our little posting boxes.
