ND, we actually thought about Vegas for New Years Eve this year. Then we checked the Bellagio's prices. Even being buddies with concierge, Nic had to wave ammonia under my nose to get me to recover from the faint.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Our wings are not tired
Yeah, the prices that weekend are a bit on the high side but I'm going at least for one night, probably two.

# Rooms must be available in the hotel for under $100
# High-Speed Internet must be available in the room
I think that the first expectation is unrealistic, for the quality/services of the kind of hotel we'd like, particularly in a city like San Francisco or Seattle.
I think that HSI in the room shouldn't be a dealbreaker. I think that it should tip the scales in favor of one hotel, but we shouldn't not consider a hotel if it doesn't have it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Dunno about Seattle, but I think this actually won't be totally unrealistic for San Francisco if people double up -- even the Stanyan Park, the historical-register boutique hotel between our place and Deb's, has a base rate of $130, which is fairly reasonable when split in half, and extra rollaway beds for $20.

right. the room itself is not under $100. If we mean, under $100 per person, that's reasonable, but for the room itself, I don't think we can do it.

I'd really rather try first and then extend our range upward if it becomes necessary.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Well the rooms were $109 in NOLA, and folks complained that was too expensive, so I think Debet has stated the requirement correctly. Whether it's feasible is another question.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
if people double up
I think the expectation was under $100/night per room, not per person.
On the one hand, I agree that it's unrealistic for most of the cities we're considering. On the other hand, hotel cost has been a major attendance hurdle, so it might be worth making it a priority, even if we have to sacrifice other items on our wish list.
