Why do I have the feeling that the hotel is underreporting what was actually spent?
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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.
