If the cost is locked, I say go for the room we can make noise in. Not that I am an advocate of LOUD. But, I know nothing throws a wet blanket on a party like a worker bee telling us to take it down a notch or two. And hey, then more room to dance in. Just means, no wall flowers! (Looks at mirror as much as anyone else on this one).
There is a small chance that I will have to slip away from day activities on the weekend. My mortgage has just been approved, so, hopefully in at least 2 days, the signing of stack of papers will happen. My Realtor said with the holiday next week, they may opt for the weekend to sign. But I will be attending prom & BBQ!
As for vehicles, I am happy to drive. Just be aware, my a/c is non-functional. Forwarned is fair warned, ya? Hey, it's not Texas. It just gets a little warm in the sun. Cooling is via 55-4 mode (55mph - 4 windows rolled down).
And I am totally hip to the Griffith trip. It's free admission to the park and observatory. I think the only fee is for the planetarium shows (the ones ND and I have worked on) and those are $7 each. And a very cool experience, if you ask me!
I'm considering flying and can get a pretty decent last minute fare on Southwest into Burbank, arriving 11:25am. Anyone else gonna be arriving in Burbank around that time and want to share a shuttle?
I get in at 10:50 AM! I was just about to book a SuperShuttle. But looks like you're covered. Sad about SA; I had a lot of fun with her in Seattle.

That's what I want to go for! Also pop culture and stuff.
Don't forget the science. I mean, it's SCIENCE!!! How cool is that?!?
I can pick you both up if you don’t mind waiting, PC.
I don't mind; I will have
A Clash of Kings
to read. And then I will have an Erin to keep me company. Thanks, I appreciate it.
My email is robin@fogelson.com, Pix, if you want to send me your address and let me know what I can bring. Big bags of Ice? Bottle of wine? Chips?
I just realized that Sean and Erin can stand around and watch me read
A Clash of Kings
and THAT WILL BE FUN FOR THEM.
So sad about everyone who can’t make it.
I'm sad about me - who can't make it.
Have fun! Post lots of videos!
Scrappy, thrilled you’re coming! It would be great if you could bring ice! Ice is always helpful Thanks.
Omnis, I hear what you’re saying about noise, but the room is really huge for a dozen people. I’m worried it might feel a little...I don’t know...empty? Sad? Hm. At this point I will leave it be unless I hear from others. Erin, the bar tab will be what it is -- I did the math, and I don’t think we’ll have any problems. We’d need to spend about $30 each or a bit more since not everyone drinks. I’m not too worried.
Okay, so is this the final list? It looks like we have between 12-16 total (with guests) for Prom and about 20 for the BBQ. PLEASE let me know if you aren’t on the list and should be, and my profuse apologies!
