Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
Agreed, Trudy. I plan to do that this year. I learned last year that it's a bad idea to have a heavy dinner and go back to the hotel room. I fall asleep too easily. ETA: And now I am booked for Friday and Saturday nights.
(I am staying at either the Westin or the W Thursday and Sunday night, they're within a couple of blocks from what I can tell on the map).
Should we say prom is dinner party then? So people remember *not* to eat before? Just an idea from the newbie!f2f.
(I am staying at either the Westin or the W Thursday and Sunday night, they're within a couple of blocks from what I can tell on the map).That would have been smart for me to do. Alas, I am lazy, and somehow, that beat out the cheap side of me. Strange. Must investigate how that happened.

If there's one thing you can rely on, it's that there's no plan that works for everyone. People will do what is right for them.
Me? I'm probably going to have a snack before prom and then enjoy the munchies as much as poss.
Some Buffistas prefer smaller gatherings and get overwhelmed by the muchness of prom. So the dinners before prom are opportunities for those smaller groups.
Or as Pete notes (and Jesse validates): "Different people like different shit."
Sure, but you can gather without a four course dinner if you remember the food is going to be copious (as I always forget). It doesn't exactly prevent intimate gatherings.
Matt and I love to sample food in different towns, so he and I usually discuss restaurants ahead of time (speaking of, any thoughts?) and then invite any and all to join us. Always a good time, but usually stuffed for prom. Even the time that we tried to do tapas and eat light, we managed to sample a little too much. :)
OMG, i actually got approved for time off!!!! I can go!!! Anyone wanna share a room? Despite pay bump effective tonight i am still rather skint (but since i'll be driving can arrive with much booze in the car trunk) :)
Erin is going to arrive with junk in the trunk.
I am also looking for room-sharers!
Is anyone interested in going three or four to a room to reduce costs? I am very low-maintenance.
