Update

It's been awhile, but things are still progressing. I've set up a meeting with the guy who books the American Legion hall here in town. The hall itself only runs $250 (!!!!), though if we need the kitchen it will set us back another $250. Still, that is roughly half what I had budgeted.

This will also be simpler as they have a bar already, which means this will be a cash bar folks. (Hey, it isn't as if anyone's getting married here.)

One slight snag, however. There is a chicken fry on the books for Saturday the 4th. This means the power pop show featuring Splitsville will have to happen on Sunday the 5th of September. This could work for people trying to fit this into a busy schedule as it allows folks to travel on the Saturday, party down on Sunday, and travel back on the holiday Monday. For the rest of us, we will just have to find some way to amuse ourselves the rest of the weekend.
