This would be nice.

I agree - everyone was told in advance to eat at the hotel.  It seems
almost everyone is staying at the hotel.  

I get into town on Tuesday, I may be able to help with some of this.  
Perhaps we can find out who the hotel gets their stuff from and order a 
little extra?

Yes - pizza for lunch is fine.

Yes, I believe we have dinner on Saturday worked out.  For Friday, I
think it should just be informal.  I'll be in town early, so I'll try
to find somewhere that could hold 30+ people.  Maybe we can split it
between a few different restaurants in the same area.

If someone knows a bakery near the University, I can stop in on 
Tuesday or Wednesday and place the order.  I could also wander
around and figure this out.

Jeremy, are you going to bring Mandy? :)  That would make organizing it easier.
