Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I'm looking into several options. I'll let you know when I have info on availability of cost.
And just to prove that layers are the way to pack for this F2F, yesterday it was near 100F and today it is in the 60s.

It would be fun to start talking about that. Soon. We're less than a month away!!!!

sj, while it probably wouldn't work for Saturday, do you think there might be time to get a group together for Al Forno? Maybe Friday?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I don't think they take reservations, but if people would give me a show of hands of whether or not they are interested, I can ask if they will make an exception for a small group.

Possible Prom options:
I have called the Hampton in to see what they might have available, and I am waiting for the event coordinator to call me back.
Dave and Buster's located at the Providence Place Mall can rent us a semi-private area where the pool tables are for $30 per hour. The upside of this is that we would definitely not have to deal with noise complaints.
I have also called Joe's American Bar and Grill and The Melting Pot, which are also located at the mall. Both are having the managers get back to me. Joe's has a small event room that can hold 24 people, do you think we will need more than that?

OK I have booked this restaurant just to reserve a private room for 20 people. We can order off the menu that night without having to order food ahead of time and there is no rental fee. I can cancel it if people don't want to do it there, but it is a good restaurant that I have been to many times before. Thoughts? Questions?

Frank, Alforno's link takes reservations for parties of 6 or more. Dave and I are in for Friday night if you want to go. So if we could get 3 more people interested, I would be happy to make the reservations. Without reservations we are probably looking at an all night wait.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Pool tables? Hmm.
