OK, I have to make some comments here.
1) I think that 420 is correct in saying that if you mention O&A right off the bat... you're gonna get shat upon. Only because O&A, since they've had ZERO positive publicity since the incident.. so it's left a bad taste in people's mouthes.
2) I think the correct way in representing ourselves initially is "online fans of WNEW". When you're pitching it, say in casual conversation, "You know, Ferrall, Ron and Fez mumblemumbleOpie and Anthony mumblemumble"
Yes, it sounds geeky as hell, but when you're trying to set something up, it's better than saying "The O&A Virus-spreaders".
3) 420, whatever you do, handle Bar A with kid gloves. I know at least one of the managers of Bar A is a Catholic and not a fan of O&A.
4) DO NOT BRING UP DONOVAN'S CANCELLING ON YOU. Just tell them that the site you had originally planned for this gathering was too small and you can guarantee them 100+ people visiting their establishment. No matter what, if you bring up NUMBERS, that puts dollar signs in their eyes.
