So what do you guys think about Prom? I know it’s a lot easier and more convenient to have it at the hotel in terms of transportation and such, but ND and I can’t afford to donate more a couple hundred at the most on top of donating the sound system and setup, and I’m really worried about booking it and then not having the funds to pay for it. We could have Prom at our house for free (minus the cost of food and drinks), or we can meet the minimum hotel fee to get a small room. I’m actually going to drop by the hotel today to get a firm number--I’ve been holding off because of the uncertainty with attendees.
At the bare minimum, I’ve already put two nights of a hospitality suite on my credit card, which will be about $435 with tax. The Prom room will be on top of that.
And as far as Los Angeles F2F, I think I'll be coming to LA for Wed-Saturday and leaving Saturday afternoon. A good friend has published her first book and is having a party with her closest friends the night of the 30th to "thank her supporters" and I really want to go to the F2F *and* celebrate with my friend.
Yay! Of course you can do both of these things, and we’re thrilled to have you!
I can't swing prom financially this year, which I'm sad about.
Er, I have not gotten a hotel room, and want to--but was hoping to share with someone. Anyone need a roommate?
I think either Erin or Zen mentioned wanting one. Erin is working nights now, though, so you may want to email her if she doesn't respond.
Yay! Of course you can do both of these things, and we’re thrilled to have you!
Thanks. I'll call today for reservation.
Can't get info about Prom until tomorrow, all. Will post once I have details.
I don't know if Tom Scola is online today, but I talked to him yesterday and he was planning on coming to the F2F.
