[E-trademarks] FW: May 20 or 21

Tue Apr 9 14:33:56 EDT 2024

If I have followed this string, this would be the evening of Tuesday, 
May 21.  I am not sure exactly what "happy hour" means to this venue.   
In the past we have done our listserv receptions in various time slots 
such as 5-7 PM or 6-8 PM.

There is a lot to be said for grabbing this opportunity while it remains 
available.  Lots of the good venues and time slots are probably taken by 
now.

Basically we pay in advance for $4000 worth of food and beverages.  Plus 
a $800 tip.  And if we do not manage to spend the full $4000, we have to 
pay that much anyway.  Which is to be expected.  In past events people 
have arrived and departed at various times.  Typically over the course 
of an evening we see 75 people come and go.  At any given instant the 
max number of people in the room is typically 40-50.

The venue people surely do not care whether we do or do not actually run 
75 people through the room, so long as we cough up the $4800.

I bet we could find sponsorship contributions within the listserv to 
cover a $4800 event.

I pledge $1000 toward the event.  I wonder if we have consensus on this?
