Just when I saw light at the end of the tunnel, I heard a train whistle up ahead: Turns out that the Marriot says it can't do anything for us on the meal price and that $38.95 meal price isn't a Banquet price, it's the menu price minimum -- the price for a dinner is higher (up to $58 plus 20% service fee plus 8.5% tax) if someone orders something else. (Who wants to volunteer to take order and track who owes how much or is supposed to get which dinner?) There are two buffets that can be ordered for a single price per dinner but the price is $51 or $53 plus 20% service charge plus 8.5% tax -- price denpending on which of two buffets are selected. Do these events ever occur *without* banquets? "You all go out and find a place to eat, then we'll meet back at the ballroom at 8:00 p.m. for Amano's talk and the Contest awards." sh ===== S.
