Locations Booked

We have booked the Sandbar for our cocktail reception and Polo Grill for our dinner. Both venues were very generous in holding the spaces for no deposits while we got our $$ together. I think both locations are going to be beautiful, and give us very different events. Here is a slideshow of the area, you can find the event pavillion, second row from the bottom, second picture from the right. Also you can see the beach at that point and what our views will be. Sandbar We are planning a island themed cocktail party at the sandbar with tiki torches, flower leis, etc. Let me know if anyone has any cool ideas. We will look into a steel drum band as we get closer and get more info on people expected, budget, etc.
The Polo Grill dinner will be buffet most likely, but menu will be decided later. They have a dance floor option, so we will decide if we want to do a DJ or band at a later date as well.
I crashed c/o '88 cocktail party last Friday. They had theirs at the Distillery. It was fun to see some old faces, but it was really loud, and Matt & I did feel that no one really cared about the food, so we will likely focus on drinks and some light appetizers. Someone can always go next door and get a sandwich if they need to.
Chris Mallouix was staying that the Holiday Inn Riverfront and said they were in the middle of a major renovation and it was actually pretty nice. He also mentioned they do a discounted rate, so maybe we can look into that more as we get closer.
I was also able to track down about 6 more people, Omar Green, Shedrick Pollock, Billy Hall, Chad Gustafson, Tamra Raasio, and Andy Gaston through contacts at '88 event and elsewhere. Some of these people may be able to help us even further finding some of our classmates.
