You won't be able to get the lowered Buffista hotel rate combined with a flight, Laga, so I'd say buy the flight now.

Barb, you should come! The Prom itself is definitely not kid friendly after the first hour or so, but your sprog are old enough to entertain themselves in the room that night or babysit. Plus, F2Fs are more fun than should be allowed!

YES, BARB. I have not yet met sprog, and would be enchanted to do so. COME. It will be a great excuse to get dressed up the way you love so much!

Laga, Farecast is at least worth a look to see what it predicts for prices - [link]

Barb, please oh please attend!

smonster, insent with details, but yes, I'm totally on public trans for anywhere in the city.

Monaco gets my vote, again.

One thing - could somebody explain what the 2000 minimum means if we're billed on party, drinks and catering - I'm a little confused on that one.

thanks!

Just talked to Lewis-- he may even be able to swing coming as well! WOOT!

(Okay, I'm a major geek-- seventeen years married this July and I STILL like traveling with him.)

That doesn't make you a geek.

It makes you lucky.

Yes, because we'll probably meet the $2000 anyway

In past years we've just set this as what we are spending and had things like food and an open bar. In Madison last year we burned through drinks until we blew out the bar tab, we did a similar thing in New Orleans. If we know that's how much we need to raise, then that's what we do.

Who's going to be the point person for collecting money for Prom/Hospitality Suite/Munchies?
