Hell, I'm still jonesing for Vegas.
Deena, one correction - JZ says they can host two, but three would be way too tight for comfort.
Still other locals who may or may not ping me, either about hosting or about driving availability. We had a lot of last-minute "yes!" attendees for NillyFest last August, and our East Bay people, in particular, really came through.
Is the pimpage going to be posted in Press?
(HI ND!! We miss you!)
Yes, Aimee, but I figured I'd let Debet do that after everyone's had a chance to chime in on edits.
Deb, I'll fix that right now.
eta: Fixed.
(HI ND!! We miss you!)
That's what I get for being a moving target.
Wow. Rock/hard place - except with two fabulous things on either side.
Aside: The Seattle hotel coordinator guy? Too cute.
Isn't he adorable?
The full-bore pimp has some other information that we didn't fit on that page. The Seattle Marriott has a free full hot buffet breakfast, the hotel has a pool and a whirlpool and a health club... stuff like that.
Lemme c&p some stuff...
Trudy, you want me to shoehorn that in? I may have been a little free with the cutting.
I can just go ahead and put some goodies here. It's not a ton of stuff. We haven't really had a chance to talk in-thread about the various Seattle goodnesses since the ball had to be passed part way through.
See, I made these 'cute' reasons Seattle is groovy...
So, Reason #1 for Seattle: Hotel ‘gets’ us and welcomes our brand of weird with Wheadon-loving arms flung wide.
Reason #2 for Seattle: Dude, check out the space and the stuff and the deal and the glavin...
(that's about the suites being big with free internet and fridges and stuff)
The hotel’s amenities include: An onsite fitness center, heated indoor pool and whirlpool open from 6 am to 11 pm every day; Breakfast room open daily for complimentary hot breakfast buffet including Belgian waffles, eggs, sausage, oatmeal, cereals, fruits, cheese, juice, coffee, tea and more; On-site restaurant lounge offering a special “Lightning Round” happy hour every day from 4 pm to 7 pm with discounted appetizer and drink specials; A full menu is available until 10 pm and light appetizers and drinks until 11 pm; Room Service available.
Reason #3 for Seattle: Awesome free breakfast, cheap booze, hot tub.
Reason #4 for Seattle: A freakin’ FREE transit zone
I feel like we could have a lot of fun in a really awesome place where, due to all the included things, a person could spend very little and still have a great time. Or spend a fortune and have a great time. Or buy me a diamond tiara and have a REALLY great time...
