So what about having the party in [http://www.housing.cmu.edu/TheUnderground/ The Underground]? It's right near Midway, serves food and beverages, has some comfy seating, and plenty of room. A bunch of us alumni hung out there once during Carnival and it was OK. The food was OK (Gullifty's menu), but nothing special. The party could supply appetizers, drinks, some entrees like salads or sandwiches. No alcohol, probably, but maybe that would be OK if everything else was acceptableThe main "pros" are proximity and atmosphere. Also, if KGB reserves it, it's probably free. The main "cons" are that it's on campus and has no connected outdoor area.--[[User:Eeyore|Eeyore]] 09:14, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

possible venue

I am a member of a church located on Forbes Avenue half a block from Murray, i.e. near campus and on the bus route. We have a parish hall whose capacity for a standing-around party is about 150, connected to a kitchen whose dishes, cookware, and utensils we could use if we washed them afterward. There is also a basement gym where kids could run around. Religious decor in these rooms is minimal.

I don't know the fee structure for non-church groups holding an event there (I've only used the space for Girl Scouts, who are not charged) but I bet it would be more affordable than renting a banquet hall. We'd have to provide all food and paper napkins, and clean up afterward. I'm almost certain we'd be allowed to serve alcohol.

Let me know if I should look into reserving this space.---'Becca

Photos, &c?

Is there going to be a wiki link to any photos, summaries, or other information detritus of the party? I'm not on any of the defector (or similar) mailing lists, but would love to see 'em. -- tm2b
