Ok, I'm going to be talking to one of the coordinators at the Kellogg on Thursday next week about making a reservation for a room. There is also a slight chance of a discount because i'm employed there, but i'm not positive. Things to keep in mind besides the date of the event are: refreshments (I say bring your own as it is expensive (water is provided free I believe)), food (once again bring your own as it's more expensive than a vending machine), and length of time for the meet and the specific time for the meet. (By the way, if you bring food try to smuggle it in if possible. I don't want to say they want you to buy their snacks, but it's more they don't want extra work for cleanup if unexpected bits of food are all over the place. So if they see you with food they may curse at you, yelling that you are the next hitler.)
So we need to answer these questions before moving forward. What day do we meet? What is going to be the final count for the number of people expecting to meet? (this has to do with parking passes for the parking ramp, usually cheaper versus paying off the parking stub) What time block do we want? (Example: 12pm - 5pm, 10am - 3pm, 1pm - 4pm, etc.(There is usually some overhead if we undershoot the time slot, so we wont be kicked out immediately. Usually... ))
I can handle the room specifics, but we'd need to come to a consensus on the above. I'll post back about any developments and will continue to monitor this thread for updates!
