I presume the Bainbridge Island, Wash.-based sales-and-use-tax vendor will have special sessions on the taxation of beignets, chicory coffee and Mardi Gras beads. If I know the company headed by CEO Scott McFarlane, there should be a decent party, a requirement for events held in this town. Sessions are being held at the Royal Sonesta Hotel on Bourbon Street so there won't be far to crawl to attend the second day. I am sure this has been done before but Avalara has provided a downloadable, customizable justification letter that can be submitted for those who hope to attend. What? I want to get Bourbon-faced on, well, you know, isn't enough?
