I'm sorry - we're paying WHAT for the penthouse and it might not come with a TV? And if it doesn't we'd have to rent it? First of all, with the amount we're spending over the weekend, they can throw it in. If not, I'm sure a localista would be willing to bring a TV from home.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Yeah, if it comes to that, free tv for some lucky localista.
We probably can't do that. The way that it works in hotels is that they have a pretty exclusive contract with an AV supplier. When Java signed the contract we agreed that we'd use their AV people. That's why the rates are out of control. I used to work for a company that did hotel AV, it's obscene how that industry works.

Do we need to budget a tip for the BT or anyone else?

I'd kinda hope that folks would tip him as they are buying drinks. Right now without a TV rental, which I'm pretty sure we won't have to worry about, we've still got $200 left.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I'm kind of with Aimee on this one. But I can't imagine it won't come without one, since every damned guest bedroom in the hotel certainly comes with one.

Ok, it's looking like there might not be one there. I just called the regular hotel number and if she and I were understanding each other, then the penthouse is more like a meeting room - not a guest room.
I'm thinking I missed this detail. :) Ooops.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She doesn't know if there's a TV in the room?

Just housekeeping then I guess. What about the people who bring up the food? Do we tip them?

Do I sound safe in saying that barring the TV, if we collect $20/person for the prom we'll be in good shape? I've got my paypal all primed and ready to go and would like to get this rolling. Especially if some folks don't want to do paypal and want to mail me checks or anything like that, since if it doesn't get mailed by, well like Monday it may not get to me before I leave for DC on the 19th.
If the feeling is that we need a bit more cash to feel safe we can bump Prom up to $22 and that gives us a budget of $1430 instead of $1300. Input? Questions? Comments? I'd really like to put a post in press in the next 30 minutes or so telling people where they can send money for Prom so that this is underway.
