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.
