I'm not trying to harp on this, but as one of the only sober ones, I usually end up handling the money, and I hate having to circle back around asking people to kick in more.
Should be common sense, but if everyone's on the same page, it'll be tons easier.
Thanks, guys, Mike and I appreciate the help

The rest of you have until Friday to flake. I'll go sign the contract tomorrow as I have faith we will have enough people.

Here's how we can stay out of trouble:
PLAN TO SPEND A MINIMUM OF $25. BE PREPARED TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU PURCHASE/EAT. IF YOU GO IN ON AN APPETIZER WITH SOMEONE, EXPECT TO PAY FOR YOUR PORTION OF THAT APPETIZER PLUS TAX. DON'T GET AN APPETIZER, $11 ENTREE AND A SODA AND EXPECT TO BE OUT THE DOOR FOR $15-$20.
If everybody pays for what they order, and is realistic about what they owe, it will prevent other people from getting screwed by having to cover others shortages.
AND BRING CASH. DON'T EXPECT TO PUT ANY MONEY ON YOUR CREDIT CARD.
