Very cool! Let us know how the party goes :-)
(Incidentally, I'm starting to focus on making sure Wine works for the specialized apps that businesses and governments need. Since they're usually unobtainable, I'm testing freely available demos of Visual Basic apps like ChurchWindows as a first approximation. You can see the list of apps I'd like to test at http://kegel.com/wine/qa/#app.church If you have customers that absolutely need a particular app to run on Wine, please let me know so I can add it to the list. Thanks!)
One app that I think is quite important to the business world and that used to work (up to 0628) and still does work with 0.9 is Lotus Notes (at least the 6.5 client). It has been reported a number of times on this forum.
I have not tested anything since 0.9 as I am using Debian and I use the builds for Debian rather than the tar balls.
