Robo-Prom 2009

[Brad Voracek]

Greetings to all teams from team 399,

We have qualified for Atlanta, and would love to put on another Robo-Prom. However, this year we qualified a lot closer to atlanta than we usually do, and it seems all of the hotels (Hyatt, Hilton, Marquis, Omni is calling us back shortly) have their rooms booked for Thursday night. Interesting? But eh. We're also looking in to Friday night, and some other places with "meeting" rooms.

So. We'd just like to get a general consensus from everyone else, how much is everyone willing to pay? Last year it was 10$ advance and 15$ at the door. If those prices, say, doubled, would everyone be still willing to come? Last year we had about 200 people, and with all the hype already surrounding it, we're pushing for a room for 300-400 people this year.



We're working hard to get one thrown together, but if nothing else, we should just go dancing in the lobby of a random hotel. Or in the streets. Sounds pretty dang sweet to me.


I'll update with more details as we have them. See you all in a few weeks. ;p
