Great pictures, ChiKat! And so much pretty!
I'm sorry so many people are dealing with crappy money issues. Trust me, if I didn't already live in Denver, I wouldn't have the money to attend, so I completely understand. It still sucks, though. (I was so hoping to give ND a big hug for the first time since his long hospital stays and I guess now I'll need to mail Pix the cute little English Chair award I was making. Pout.)
Suzi, I'll try to take a look at the contract tomorrow. At this point, I would suggest downsizing quite a bit but I don't know what the room rates were based on. If we cancel the prom room and the catering and the bartender, will the room rates go up?
I don't *want* to cancel all those things but a group of 10 can't afford the original plan. If we keep the large hospitality suite, maybe we can bring in our own food and alcohol and go as nuts as we want. Or maybe we do a private room fancy dinner somewhere. Or... my place isn't huge but I do have a decent sized space with a cute backyard and a grill. We could do hookers and blow!! HOT MEAT AND COCKTAILS!!
I'm still a maybe. I need to figure out a bunch of other stuff first.
I vote for the hookers and blow.
We plan on coming. Just don't know how long yet because we may stay a bit longer to explore.

I hear Charlie's tour isn't going quite as planned. I bet he'd show up if we sent him an invite. Then he can supply the hookers and blow.
How would we phrase that? BYOH&B? Probably have to spell it out for him.
It's still pretty early to be cutting rooms, isn't it? It's over 2 months away, I think a lot of people are still on the fence. We got things in order quicker than usual, so the signing on might be a little slower.
I'm hoping to attend, but won't be able to commit until I get my federal refund and find out how much additional dental work is going to cost later this month.

Doesn't Charlie Sheen pretty much bring his own hookers&blow anyway? The real question is, will he share?
HOT MEAT AND COCKTAILS
I have never turned this down, and probably never will.
Chicago-istas!
I will be in your fine city for a conference from June 18 to June 24 and would like to get together for, you know, stuff. My co-worker and I are looking to do various things like eat at Moto and see Second City and TMLMTBGB, so I wanted to start figuring out scheduling availability.
TMLMTBGB
wow that's still running? craxy.
Second City is right around the corner from where I used to work. If you dig sushi, you can sit on the patio at Kamehachi and watch the carriages go by. Just don't do on a Friday afternoon. That's farrier day and it tends to smell like burning hair.
