Connect for Outlook - modifying custom objects based on meeting attendances

I have a "Special Event" object that is used to log certain dinners and presentations.  It is linked to Contacts through the "Attendance" object, which has a picklist of "Invited," "Accepted," etc.

 

Separately, I send Outlook meeting invitations to my invitees.  I would like to have the capability for my Outlook to modify the Attendance object for each Contact as responses to the meeting invite come in.  Basically, I want to pull the invitee list from Outlook and represent that in SF as "Attendance" objects.  Is this possible?  

 

I could use just regular meetings and SF invitations, but that does not allow me to differentiate between an acceptance and someone actually showing up.  This seems like the most attractive alternative.

 

Thanks
