was Chicago unseasonably hot?
Nope. It was quite nice.
Actually it was freakin' cold at the airport while we waited to be picked up. Betsy almost died of hypothermia, and I had to loan Amych my leather jacket when we all went out to dinner the first night. It was pleasantly warmer after that, however.
Sounds like I brought the warm weather with me.
First rule of that job: Don't ACTUALLY be a virgin.
Not so difficult to manage in Vegas, or so I'm told.
Interrupting Vegas and microclimate talk for a quick Somervillian F2F announcement:
If anyone coming to Salem this afternoon has extra folding/outdoor chairs (eek, or tables!) and a way to transport them easily, they would be much needed and much appreciated for this afternoon.
Thanks! See you shortly!
wheeee!!!!! Thanks so much.
Appointment tomorrow at half past one, at the Ramada Plaza (Nicole stayed there; I think Sean knows the hotel, as well). 8th and Market.
With a very solid bid in hand from their competition around the corner at the Holiday Inn, we'll see what they can do....
Deb - Deena, Tep, Perkins and Jessica stayed there also. Lots o' peeps there during the Nilly SF gathering.
The parking situation was a PITA but other than that, I have few complaints.
I *did* break the bed... but the fix-it guy was very quick to respond and they didn't try to blame me for it.
I can vouch that their wheelchair-accessible bathrooms are very nice, and their floors quite comfy.

I only hope you had a grand time breaking it, bebe.
We'll see what they can do for us. Their initial bid is way higher than the HICC, and I'm curious to see if they can remotely match it. If it's reasonable and basically within the requirements list, I'll absolutely ofefer it up.
But right now, it's going to take some doing on their part. The room rate of $119 a night is simply not acceptable.
Going to also ring up the Hotel Milano, as my third option. They're in a perfect location, basically attached to the San Francisco Centre.
