Why do I have the feeling that the hotel is underreporting what was actually spent?
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

It might not be the hotel, it might be the bartender. I remember a mess at the beginning when he didn't have change, so he was using tip money, etc.

I can't even.
Yikes, I think I spent like 30% of the cash taken in by the bar.
t tries to feign surprise. Fails.
Tell, tell!
Okay, then. So our university residence people liked to have "Milk and Cookies/Tuck-ins" organized between twinned floors of the all-men and the all-women residences. One of the guys on our floor (the floor senior) was a cynical rat bastard who hated this stuff. He also disliked the guy whose girlfriend at the female residence was one of the organizers.
During one "tuck-in", to the consternation of the assembled, he did a tour of the halls and went into this guy's room as his tuck-in was in progress and sat on the bed. Wearing a sock. Just a sock. The boyfriend says to him (among other things), "Dave, that was a scrutty thing to do." And from that day forward, he was no longer Dave. He had no name except The Scrut.

Either way, I think the hotel should be notified about it. Because if there was a quota and they're claiming it wasn't met, we could be on the hook.
For the record, I spent nothing at the bar. I was wiped by the DC heat and humidity and all I could deal with was water. Alcohol, even under good circs, dehydrates, and I was already feeling as husked as a cicada.

Our wings are not tired
I had at least a dozen drinks, probably more. That's $72 at least.

I spent at least $35

I was talking to some friends and we decided that cicadas are the teenagers of the insect world - they're awkward, noisy, and think of nothing but sex. After all - they ARE 17!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Dude, I got drunk enough to dance.
And I missed this?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
And I missed this?
How many drinks did you have, young lady?

I think we need to say something to the hotel about the bar money. With only 9 people accounted for (I didn't count Hil, since it didn't come directly from her (Hey, I'm a lawyer)), we have at least $295 accounted for, and that is taking people's lowest estimates.
