No doubt about it, both are well designed interiors. And you know, it's not all that different from the 1st gen Mercury Mystique I've got.. ;)

Re: Plastic bag fees, inflation and lessons for bottled water

I think the success of the bag campaign is that it was a separate charge. Maybe an non-refundable $.05 charge per bottle would be the most effective to dissuade people from buying unnecessary bottled water.

That said, I don't see the issue being people who get thirsty while walking down the street and stop at the corner store for a bottle of water. It's those who buy cases of water bottles and drink 5 non-refillable bottles a day.

Larger refillable containers, or in-home filters are the way to go.

Nope, and that's good feedback for next time. Rather than leave, say, all the prize drawings until the last day, we can space those out more.

Chris,
It's fair that there are liability issues that make sponsored drink a touchy subject. I completely appreciate that.

What about other types of "freebies" or ad-ons to get people excited about the event and add value to it? Things like finger food, free pool or other games/activities for people to engage in while mingling.

The general consensus among the group I discussed it with (about 10-15 people) was "I'm glad I didn't bring a friend. Sure they'd be supporting a good charity; but we'd feel bad that they're not really getting anything out of their mandatory donation."

Did I miss something at the Tequila Rain party?

A very nice line up. I wish I hadn't missed out on the student tickets.
