Just thowing some ideas out there...
Lisa, I know a bunch of us are meeting up in the park on Friday. What about having the hotel make up some sandwiches and having some canned sodas and we can pre-pay for those to eat at the park. I could easily see paying $8-$10 each for something like that... I know when I get done flying, I'm going to be starved.
Another idea...I'm sure some of us will eat Friday dinner and/or Saturday lunch at the hotel. You should ask if they'll apply any amount YTer's spend on food and drink towards the minimum.
Please let us know how much the deficit is. No one here wants you to take this on your own.
We can come up with something.
