I agree about the money - it's no problem to me, I'm more than willing to pay to
see all your troops grovel for mercy. $75 for a full day seems fine. How big is
this table, by the way? If we needed to cut corners, we could always go without
... I had no problem crawling around on the floor at the museum. (what does that
drop the price to, by the way?)
On another note, what is the ideal time frame for people? I'm flexible, though I
tend to have an inkling towards starting early and going until we're done (Note to
Eric J.- this plan works best without festivities the night before ;)
Like I said, though, I'm accomodating.
