I say room, not patio since we'll want our own music. Have we done anything about an AV system for music? Full Compass is in Madison and I'm planning to have dinner with my sales rep while I'm in town, I may be able to swing a deal on the audio system if needed.
It's all about the coat.

ND, I'm the only local and have nothing for sound. If you could arrange loaner stuff for us, that would be awesome.

Okay, I'll work on that. I'm sure I can get something through my guy at Full Compass. Maybe he'll let me demo some new gear.

Sadly you won't be getting your own swoopygoth this year. House O' Reason isn't going to be attending the F2F.

Demon twins? I say hitch them to the plow and make them work for their living while you go off to play.
So, I've called Great Dane back and let them know we'll take a private room for four hours minimum. That would be $1100. Do people think I should reserve it for more? If we reserve from, say, 7-11pm now, then as time goes on and we see that we've generated enough funds to pay for longer, we can extend it at that point. I had to leave a voicemail, for while the party coordinator is working tonight, it's Friday and I doubt he'll get a chance to call me back tonight. Most likely Monday, I'm thinking. So, I'd kind of like to have an idea of what to commit us to by then. Also, their room contract asks for info such as whether we want an open or limited bar, food, etc. Since all that gets applied to the cost of the room, I'm thinking they won't need that right this instant. However, it's a good question. How much of the cost do we want to slap down on the limited bar? Anyone got some ballpark numbers to work with?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
7-11
How about 8-12?
And I'm sorry if I missed it, but the $1100 includes food and drinks?
