I'm just watching everything for 2007 F2F. I know that no matter where it is, I won't be able to go (okay, if it's in Chicago, I can, but I don't think that's happening). I'm going to be student teaching and broker than a broke thing in the spring.

Do we have the numbers from previous years stored somewhere? I can spend some time checking Atlanta if no one else has, since I'm at least familiar with the lay of the land.

Or can somebody shoot me that form?

I can do something for Durham/Chapel Hill, maybe working with amyth. Can someone email me the RFP? Just poking around, I think we have very competitive hotel facilities. The downside of here is the rental car issue; i.e. people would need them.

That's be awesome brenda and flea. Thank you.

Debetesse has the RFP. I'll have her email it to you.

Can someone Nilly me links for previous years' city pimping?

I started doing some checking for Atlanta, but then I was attacked by work. I'll have more time next week.

I know I'm not the Boston pimpage person, but I thought I'd pass along the three bids I've already gotten from hotels outside the city:
