Spike ,'Sleeper'
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.
Very true. I just checked out the site, and it looks great! Would it be possible for you to go down to check the private rooms out to see if half vs. whole would work?
And yes, if it's only $275/hour minus catering, that's a steal for the space. I love that there's billiards right there, too. If it's the full $550, that's when fundraising is going to come in.
I remember the numbers being well north of $1000 in New Orleans.

I just checked my records and it looks like we spent almost $3000 between the hospitality suite and the prom room in New Orleans.
Not a problem at all, Kristin. I might be able to do it first thing on Thursday. I'm taking the day off for my sister-in-law's sister's funeral, but we're not leaving until 1:00 in the afternoon. Gives me time to run down and look at it. Maybe take my camera and get some shots of it and of the garden patio for comparison.
Eta: I'm off to bed. I'll be glad to answer more questions tomorrow.
Eek! Don't impinge on a funeral for us! It will get done, honey. Thanks for wrangling it. Believe me, I remember how stressful it was.
And yeah, part of what made it stressful was how incredibly expensive NOLA was. A small number of people picked up a huge amount of those expenses at the last minute, and I just don't want that to have to happen again here. Sorry if I'm being overly cautious.
In other news, I just found the "Fucking Great" vid that Jessica did after the SF F2F. LOVE that vid!
I was thinking about NoLa when I requested a "suggested donation" upthread. I realize it's hard to estimate when we don't know where prom will be. May I ask, if we'd known how expensive NoLa would be, what would each F2F participant have had to contribute in order for everyone to have foot (footed?) an equal amount of the bill? Basically, I'm trying to make sure that I can afford to attend. And even if I can't I'll still throw a wee contribution into the paypal pot.
In the past we've never really broken it down that way. We know that some folks can pay a lot more and some can't really afford much and things tend to level out.
Okey Dokey. I'll just give 'till it hurts.
I wouldn't say that. Give what you can afford, it's pretty much the rule of thumb around here.
