If I am reading your post right, we have until April 19th to book rooms at the reduced rate of $109/night, correct? Is that the same price for singles/doubles/whatever? What will the prices be after the 19th? (I can also look this up myself in a moment, if you don't have the answers handy.)

The $109 rate is for a double room technically, but I think all that means is a room with two beds. It shouldn't matter how many people in a room.

I will repost once I have the contract in hand with the listed cutoff date for rooms.

That said, Marvin is going to contact me at the 90, 45, and 30 day mark with a room reservation count. I'll post numbers as they come in.

I plan on being in NOLA by Thursday night, the 19th. I will be leaving most likely on Monday the 23rd (go personal day, choose personal day).

Glad it looks good to everyone. I will take care of the reservation tonight.

Looks like a keeper to me. And, if I'm reading the map right, two blocks over from the Corner Pocket male dancer club, which should make my stay even more fun.

Do we need to say who we're with when we make the reservations? How do we do that online?

Ooh, Matt, can I tag along?

Excellent. My major concern in asking the above questions was that I know that this year, some people missed the cutoff because they forgot the date, or that there even was a cutoff, and so had to pay more, and I hope we can prevent that from happening this year. I've put a big note on my calendar already to warn myself of the impending cutoff, and I'll post in here close to the date to remind people.

Heather, I think you have to do it by phone and say you are reserving with the "Fourth Annual Buffistas F2F Meeting". The number to call is 1-888-508-3980...but I haven't signed the contract yet, so best to wait until after the New Year.

I will also be posting on the 90, 45, and probably 35 mark to remind everyone.

I'm not going to do it yet, probably not until late Feb. Should I just send the check to you for the bar/cashier? Does that go on your credit card?

The more the merrier. I assume that clubs in the French Quarter aren't going to be overly concerned with customers' gender (though I ran into trouble trying to get gal pals into Remington's in Toronto a few years ago).

Thanks for picking up the tab on that, Heather! Very generous.

I've never had a problem. It might be if it were a gaggle of only girls, but mixed is usually no biggie.

Hey, good job, guys. Nice work.
