Hey everyone, I learned today that there wont be any tickets at the door as they only have a set number of tickets and cant guarantee that there will be any at the door, but you can reserve them! So if you want tickets please let me know how many you would like reserved, and the name you would like them under. then you can pay for them at the door!
Oh this sounds like so much fun. Wish we could come. Er any possiblity you could move it to NY? Upstate that is/ Er please?
The Countess and I expect to be in attendance. Sounds like a night to remember.

Shall i reserve you two tickets under the count?
Widget i was so hoping to make this but Jen has her boys that weekend so we won't be attending. But do keep me informed if you do it again.
Thanks
Yes, please reserve two tickets under the Earl and Countess of Surrey.
I dropped you a Forum-mail, but it may not have worked. We have a question we hope you can answer.
It's a good hour-and-a-half (or more) down there for us. Do you know if there is any place in we could change from our real-selves into our noble-selves?
Widget,
Since there were a couple other questions we had, The Baroness and I went ahead and reserved tickets through Tammy. However, if you would ensure that tickets are reserved for the Earl and Countess of Surrey, I would appreciate it. We have also asked Tammy to seat the four of us together. So, if you would double check on that, we would be doubly grateful.
We may also have enticed a couple of other cast members from last season into attending, but they have not yet committed. At any rate, we look forward to seeing you Saturday evening.

oh! if you can arrive a little early (around 4:30 ish) we can find you a place next to the ball room to change if that works, or even better theres a vacant room downstairs next to the catering offices!
Thank you ever so, Lord Widget.
We may or may not take you up on the offer of a changing space. As you might imagine, the Countess has the more elaborate need in this regard and she may decide just to get it done here.
Thanks for your help.

A thank you to everyone who attended tonight! You all made this event something special!
And thank YOU for a splendid evening! The Baroness and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed ourselves, and truly hope that this will become an annual event.
As did we. Thank you for making the connection.
If you have the occasion, please let the folks who made the entree (in particular) and those who made the desserts, that they did a terrific job. The Countess and I were most pleased.
