I think that no matter what NO ONE should provide alcohol for any of the main parties. Waaaaaaaaay to many liability issues. Have a bartender at a hotel, they are the ones with the liability and insurance policy then.
I am neutral where it is. I will be there no matter what.
Here is the deal with DC. It is going to need to be much more planned out and people will need to keep up appointments and be
on time for them. There won't be opportunities for impromptu events and if people are going to be transporting people to other places, people will need to show up on time or we will need to keep the group waiting.
Also forget having it Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Hotels will be outrageous as Monday and Tuesday is when the DC power people are mostly in town doing work.
We would need to do it Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Kristie, check with the Capital Hilton

That hotel is mostly a business hotel so they are busy during the week. I was able to get a room there for $80.00 for a Friday night back in May.
Also an idea to say would be the Embassy Suites. Probably put four in a room AND it includes a
FREE breakfast and Manager's Reception.

The idea of having a 'fun' event and a 'more serious' type of event is great. However with financial responsibility, vacation times, and other issues, unfortunately Jetcareers I think can really only do one big event a year.
