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

Okey Dokey. I'll just give 'till it hurts.

Our wings are not tired

I wouldn't say that. Give what you can afford, it's pretty much the rule of thumb around here.

If the $275 is just a guarantee against what we spend, I'm much less concerned. The garden patio sounds great though - would be lovely if we could snag that. My one concern with the dining room - how is it set up? From the pictures I got the idea that it might be all built in booths and stuff - but it wasn't a big picture so that could be way off.

I say let Vortex loose on 'em.

As do I. "Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!"

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!"

I think that this should be my new tagline. If not the theme of the Wisconsin F2F.

Take it, if you want.

Hell, you get our prom fixed, we'll put it on a banner and fly it over the dance floor.

So the theme of the prom is going to be boobular containment issues? And this is different from prior F2Fs how?

That's why I want to check it out tomorrow. Seriously, it's no infringement. I've got time to kill in the morning and if it means not having to vacuum or do laundry in that time, I'm as happy as you can be when going to a funeral.

Sounds good to me, Sail. And thanks again.

Okay, I'm meeting the event manager for the Great Dane in about an hour. I'll be taking pictures. They're setting up the patio with the furniture today, so it's the perfect time to get pictures.

Afterwards, I'm going over to the Quality Inn with a copy of the original proposal that the regular sales coordinator sent me yonks ago. The assistant sent me a contract for the room for the 20th (this was just in case, remember) and now she wants to charge $500 instead of $250. Of course, she seems to think we'll be hosting 100 people. ::shrugs:: I'll set her straight on that. But it also asks for a non-refundable deposit and any cancellation will prorated against the $500 for the number of days left before the event. Of course, I'm not signing anything unless they feel fit to change the day to the 21st and get the dollars for the correct number of people correct. I'm still tempted to tell these folks to go to hell, but we want a F2F and we would prefer prom in the same building. So, I will be as polite as I can and see if I can weedle the 21st out of them.

If not, them I'm going back to the Great Dane and ask them to hold the room. If that requires a deposit, I will do that. I won't set the number of hours we'll reserve the room, though, until we've had a chance to talk about it here.

ETA: By going back, I don't mean right away, today. I want you guys to see the pictutres. But, it will have to happen quickly. I'm worried about the rooms getting snapped up and we get stuck with the 20th.
