What about booze, Pete? Pay them or bring our own for the hospitality suite? As for snacks, that's about all anyone needed this past time. I bought party platters that just kinda lay there and got limp. The big hit was the chips and other inappropriate starches.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

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

Yeah, snacks are fine for the hosp suite. Would we be able to bring in soda, wine, beer, though?

She mentioned something about the same sort of option (the banquet license thing?) for the hospitality suite that the Nexxus had mentioned for Prom. I did kind of wonder about sodas and things, or if people were wandering in with the remains of a sandwich that they'd grabbed, or what have you. But I'm also wondering how much the hotel staff would really be walking in and out, y'know? For some stuff. I suspect if we bought a few things, and shooed them out, we could keep the rest of it quiet.
(And the hosp suite is next to the bar, so I *think* people could walk over to the bar and get stuff, and bring it in, if they wanted beer/wine?)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I bet they could be persuaded to comp the internet for us. It sounds like they really want the business,

Just a quick interruption of official F2F bzns to announce that our trip to San Francisco has been indefinitely delayed. Because we just became left-coasters.
Yup, we bought a house in Bellingham, WA, and when we are settled in, will be no doubt trekking down to revel with the SFistas on more than one occasion.

Maybe, but it's not as good as getting them to knock 10 or 20 bucks off the per-night price. Everyone benefits then. We'll see what they offer.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
So, F2F...will there be a SingalongaOnceMoreWithFeeling, d'you suppose? 'Cause that would be nice. And we could even make it interactive, with goodie bags! Containing, oh, sachets of mustard, and little bits of skeezie cheese, and candy lovehearts, and...
(...why no, I'm not helping host a Grease Singalong tomorrow. Why do you ask?)
