100k for food is just insane. We are neither GourmetConf (*) nor should we.

Also if Le Camp cannot offer any flexibility (be it for food or costs of 
accomodated people, re: "increase our per attendee costs") I think we cannot 
do business with them. Way too risky.


cheers,

(*) though then, I'd love us to be ;-)
