Good taste in brass...amateurs don't own those instruments. I would, if I 
were you, while using TTL, set my meter to overexpose by one stop. This will 
insure that you get good negatives with sufficient detail regardless of the 
reflectance values of the scenes you are shooting (and I'll bet they are a 
riot of various color temperatures). If you wish to retain some of the 
ambiance of the situation, try shooting at 1/15 sec with flash and you should 
get some interesting results. You will not need a tripod if you are not too 
drunk or off balance. The flash will anchor the image and the slow shutter 
speed with pick up the multiple light sources that your eye sees.
I hope you like the Sunpak. I have found it to be the best of the small units 
that I own. I'm used to manual because my professional flashes are Lumadyne 
which are all manual units. Setting manual powers (try it, you'll like the 
results) is really quite easy on the Sunpak if you look at the scale and set 
your aperture accordingly.
Happy holidays.
