Running it too high will create foam, running it too low will do nothing to the quality of the beer througout the night. I'd start ~8psi and go from there.

Agreed.
you're really not going to have to worry about pressure if you're killing the keg in one night. Beer goes flat or gets overcarbonated over time. You just need enough pressure to dispense the beer. The beer will probably be flowing often enough that you don't have to worry about co2 breaking out of the beer in the line. 8psi is probably a good place to start.
Down the road when you get a refrigeration unit and will be keeping a keg for days or weeks, you need to be concerned with applying the correct pressure.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
