ICP - Tension and worry going on

We had a little bit tense discussion in the tute today, about our budget.

The red scooter decided to charge us for $33 per head, although we have done the marketing proposal for them. I'm very worry now, because the price they charge us is really way to expensive than we expected. Besides, we don't have a main sponsor to cover all the cost for the event, the funding are only come from the entry ticket and the raffling. Justine and Ryan had a bit of argument about the venue, Justine said the owner was very nice and kind, trying to get us the cheapest price he can, but unfortunately it was the price we can't afford. Ryan is personally a chief at the cafe and did many catering before as well, so from his point of view, he thinks red scooter are charging us for too much.

I understand where they both come from, and I do understand that Justine has been putting efforts and time on this marketing proposal, but $33 per head at this stage is really impossible, it's gonna be too risky and a really massive job for us to do the fundraising.

We couldn't really get a agreement in the tute because we have too limited information, so we decided to discuss later again online after I check up the mint bar, a venue that owns by the guy that my friend are close to, and after Justine call the event cordinator at Peter Mac, to ask if there's any possibility of sponsoring us.

The Mint Bar wasn't appropriate for our event, the space is divided by walls and it's smaller than I thought. Matthew (the owner of the mint bar are also runs 2 other bars) also showed us the Pheonix bar on Flinders st. through its website. It looks quite nice from the website, but we will need to go to the location in person and check since Matthew said the venue can only accomondate 100 people.
