So to everyone! - I am willing to risk what dollars we should to hold this castle if there are enough others for whom the amount is an acceptable risk...

I am too Hair. But perhaps their is a third way...so to speak. Maybe there's a less expensive house, instead of a castle.

I can say this as one who lives two hours from the coast and who spend at least a week every summer at the beach. But being on the water is not that important to me, nor are the pool and hot tub (it has a pool and hot tub right?).

We could find a place with less amenities that is less spendy. But we'd have to look now.

So, I'd put our options this way:

1) We decide right away if we have enough people to rent the castle, if not...

2) We look for a cheaper alternative that will still work as a gathering place and if we can't find that...

3) We look for individual accommodations.

When looking at cost, in addition to food we also need to remember the cost of the theater for ROTK. It didn't seem that pricey, but we'll have to account for it. (ksen when do we have to confirm that $$$?)

That's what I think anyway.

I am also thinkin' we should just all go to the movie, and not worry about renting the theater! Some in the group might go a couple times to it, at different time, on the spur of the moment.

Of course, we could all stay at ksen's house. :)

I need to have the signed lease and $1,800 in their hands by 9/30. So I'd like the money to me by 9/25.
