Debet, Theo, I'm in the same boat, actually, WRT to Thurs.
The food/bev requirement is $800 plus mandatory taxes and service fees, which, rounding up, comes out roughly to $1,100.
eta: someone check my math? It's $800 plus 10% sales tax and 20% taxable service charge.
I'll call Amy again about the A/V stuff.
Amy's going to email me the A/V info sheet. Lisa Lee handles both food and bev & A/V, her # is 202.434-0115. Lisa's out today and tomorrow, in Friday, so maybe a Localista can call her. When I get it, I'll ask Gus (or Jon?) if he can post the A/V info since I don't know how to do that. I'll be back much later today, off to work now!
Oh and we're not going to change the contract WRT # of rooms, picking up a Sun. room at that rate will be okay; she'll let res. know to extend the rate. I asked again about getting that rate for Thurs. and still no go. Whatever is the best you can get for Thurs. is what you should take.
tap tap tap. I'm waiting to ask Amy about the bartender... grrr. transfer to voice mail... okay I'll be back later.

And that's including the bartender's fee but not what we spend at the bar, correct?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Actually, I would think it might include spending at the bar. Certainly worth asking specifically about, anyway.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is there a localista who still has crash space on Thursday, or anyone who would want to share a room on Thursday?

Lee, I think that you, me, Theo & Debet are in the same boat. Possibly DX as well. (Are Theo & DX coming down together? not sure) Perhaps we 4 can work something out.

National Zoo info. I was looking to see if we could get a a tram and a mike for billytea, seriously. I expect I'll be hanging at the back of the crowd that will accompany him, and if there isn't some accomodation for a small throng ( I really do think that everyone will want to go), then those of us at the back won't be able to hear a word he says, which, NSM fun.
Anyway, here's info:
National Zoo – main page [link]
Times, hours, exhibits: [link]
Zoo stop and Zoo Adventure Tours: [link]
VIP zoo tour info: [link]
Please Note! From April 1 through June 15, a very large number of school buses full of children arrive at the Zoo between 10:00am and noon. For a more enjoyable, quieter experience, we recommend that you bring your group early in the day, between 8:00am and 10:00am, or later in the afternoon after 2:00pm. The animals are generally more active at these times too, and lines to see the giant pandas are most likely to be shorter. For tour bus groups, we offer special programs early and late in the day.
