[yapc] arrival dinner deadline

[Uri Guttman]

ok, this is the last reminder for the arrival dinner. we have 50 mongers
coming which is great since the room holds 50! we could squeeze in a
small monger or two more. overflow can use the main dining room

you are still welcome to just show up if you aren't signed up. there
will be enough for a couple of more to buy into the buffet or you can
order off the menu

the final deadline for rsvp and menu voting is tuesday night 8pm EST. i
will break any ties :)

voting for the menu has been going at a frantic pace. here are the
current rankings:

minestone soup still has a solid lead. cream of potato or beef barley
would need some floridian ballots to catch up now.

balsamic vinagrette is the slim leader with peppercorn parmesan and
thousand island tied right behind it and bleu cheese could make a come
from behind victory. remember you can vote for 2 of these so if you only
picked one before, pick another.

green beans amandine is the runaway and declared victor and nobody
trailing is even in sight.

oven herb-roasted potatoes has been the leader all along but rice pilaf
is steadily making up ground.

the entree race has been very interesting because of the 3 choices
allowed (remember to choose up to 3). top round has been the clear
winner from the start but the race for second and third has been a fight
between Herb-Roasted Chicken, Roasted breast of turkey and chicken
portofino. herb roasted is the current leader and the other two are tied
behind it and one of them has to lose. italian sausage is the dark horse
and could win a place with some last second ballot stuffing or some help
from the supreme court.

and finally chocolate sauce for the ice cream is the clear winner but
mint sauce got its first vote!

that's it for now. i will announce the final menu and head count
tomorrow night.
