TL;DR: We made about $560. I'll run it again next time I visit. Hey folks,
I hope everybody who went to Hacker Jeopardy had fun! I apologize for any technical glitches and stuff. But I'm glad things mostly worked out! :) In the end, we were profitable, too! I just wanted to break even, since I wanted to be able to run this again and not lose money. I'll give a quick rundown of the finances below. Please let me know if: a) You have any suggestions on how we can do better (I opened like 20 bugs on Jeremy's github project, so the software will definitely be improved. :) ) b) If I owe you money or something that I forgot to pay Here's a rough breakdown of what we spent: - $120 - Prizes - $100 - Liquor permit - $215 - Food + mix - $475 - Liquor I also donated about $45 in food, mix, and ice, because I didn't feel like keeping the receipts. The total money I wound up with at the end of the night (that you'll see around) was $1758.45. That includes my $300 in float, so in reality the real number was $1458.45. Minus the $910 we paid out, that means we made $558.45. We also wound up with a bunch of food and pop that we can sell, so there's a significant amount of hidden income as well. If those numbers don't add up, I may have missed something when transcribing my notes. But the final total is right :) I also wanted to give a huge hug to all our volunteers. Except for the ones who are taller than me, I hugged a tall guy yesterday and it was weird. Thanks to these folks, and sorry to anybody I missed (especially people who helped with the door, I wasn't up there all night, Nathan's friends in particular whose names I don't really remember): Tickets: Richard Host: Ian / Zoe Venue: Nathan Bartender: Molly - HUGE props to her for working alone all frickin' night! Door: Brittany, Nathan, Sean Cody, Ben, Troy, and a couple of Nathan's friends whose names I totally forget (Kristie?)

Thanks again to everybody who came and who helped out! I couldn't have done it without you! Ron
