Agreed on the overkill.  I would sport the basic body with lens and Fuji
NGH 400 (rate at 250).  That should get you just about anywhere you need
to go.  You might get a bit of "WOW!  What is that OLD thing!?" from
some, but it is better than having a "PRO" show up to intimidate people.

I would stick with OM as I just love to shoot with it, and I agree with
George that a 135 is a great lens in these situations.

My plan right now is to go armed with an OM2n, with a 
BG2 sporting a T32 and driven by a winder2. (Overkill 
perhaps?) I intend to get some 800 speed film for this. 
The nose for this is a Tokina 28-80 F4

Since the party itself is at noon (although indoors), I 
thought I also might try some ambient light pictures 
with a non OM body and a 135 f2.8. I am encouraged to 
give it a try based on some of the concert photos that 
have been talked about here lately. Again I intend to 
use 800 speed film.
