Amy, thanks so much for doing that legwork for us!! MWAH!
Right now, we have a count of 11, if Elle comes: Amy, John, Deedee, Juan, Paul, David, Jeff, Clarissa, Jenny, me and my friend Sarah. Maybe we can still coax HobokenJeff to come, too.
That is very doable at a large table in the main room, so my vote would be to reserve one there and thus avoid the extra costs. If it turns out we have significantly more people, then we could explore other options. I think the Rodeo Bar & Grill, for example, is large enough to accommodate more people fairly easily.
I really don't want to change the date at this point, for fear of losing attendees. It's worth it to stay at the Cowgirl, I think, because of the Western shop across the street, and also because it's in Greenwich Village, a very cool neighborhood for exploring afterwards.
What does everyone else think?
