I'd like to buy my plane tix today but I have yet to hear back from my roommate. omnis, I know you're busy today but if you have a spare moment- Is Thursday-Sunday OK? (leaving Sunday night) or would you rather do Friday-Monday?
F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
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.
It means that in order to get the prom room for "free" we are required to spend that much in food and drink. At this point, are we planning to order a certain amount in food, and then have a cash bar and assume we will spend the remaining amount at the bar? Is that the plan?
What we did in Madison and in New Orleans is order the minimum (in this case $2000) in food and open bar.
We might want to decide the method when we have a better idea of head-count.
P.S. Happy Birthday, ND.
Would any LAistas be interested in a trip to the Ren Faire on May 3rd?

Be sure to tacklehug all the mongers (the ragged disreputable people hanging around the front gate selling smelly fish and pig testicles and such) for me!
selling smelly fish and pig testicles
hmmmm... maybe I'll hug them on the way out
Cos the fish & testicles are 'to go', or they'll smell better after several more hours in the sun, or... what?
I think there is a flaw in your reasoning.
I was thinking maybe the mongers absorbed the smell of their wares... in which case you're right it's probably better to hug them early and let myself air out over the course of the day rather than getting a stinky hug right before I get back in the car.
Laga, insent. Sorry. Bad day(s) at work. I'm hoping thurs-monday. It might be thurs-sun. Depends on response from locals I'm visiting after.
Newbie f2f question. How do we chip in for the group stuff? Tallied @ end? More importantly, can it be put on visa? Just figuring out budgets and cash flow.
There was talk upthread about baseball. Is it too soon to start organizing that, or has that idea been passed over?
Ok, back to going mad at work and trying not to kill anyone.
