Alright, everyone. Because Merc changed the date to August something for the BayouFest and I still want one in June, I'm thinking about organizing one ANYWAYS on the 28-30. It's a good weekend, trust me.
Well, First thing I need to do is see who all could make it to the thing and then the next thing on the agenda is to get the help of a few Mercs. (Mercy-- You've been here before)
So, please, post here and tell me if you guys can make it. Once I get the list, I'll start working on getting things set in stone.
I went to the West Monroe Convention Center and got some prices on the 50 person rooms... 150 bucks a day. So, two days would be.. (you guessed it).. 300 bucks. I don't know if it would be cost effective to do one longer than that. On top of the 300 to just rent the room and tables, we have to pay 10 bucks per 2 plug outlet. So, it's basically 5 bucks a person to plug up. And hence, we do a little more multiplication... 5x50 = 250 dollars for electricity. So, if we all get together and get this thing up and planned, the approximate total cost would be around 550 to do it at the West Monroe Convention Center. If we did that, we'd have to charge like 10-15 bucks a head depending on how many sign up.
However, I am open to suggestions. If someone knows of a place that would could set up in for (dare I say it) free, or something better than 150 a day... POST. We need to know these things to bring all of you guys a cheaper place to play.
Thanks for your cooperation.
p's- If anyone wants to help us get in on the planning, e-mail me.. [email protected] Thanks. We need all the help we can get.
