Well, Damon hasn't commented on the dinner, probably because he is still pissed as hell at the people who said they were coming and didn't show. I was the one who talked the mananger into letting is go for the $800 we collected and on top of that out of the poeple who pitched in that money, most of them didn't even eat.
Next year, you will have to pay a deposit that will be given to the restaurant in advance and if you don't show, you lose your deposit. There is no other way to organize that kind of a group. We made a reservation (that was probably a mistake) for 160, we were obligated for $4000 whether we knew it or not. We went threw hell to get Matt's debit card back. Luckily the owner was sympathetic and understood the situation. On top of that I don't think it was clear on the boards to the TAs that Matt was making a commitment to the restaurant for that many people, so now we know and it will be handled better in the future.
