I'm trying to decide if I want to hike to a restaurant or just go downstairs and eat in the hotel.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Has there been any new development on getting hotel quotes for the F2F yet? Where are we on all that? It's down to either Boston or North Carolina? Or were there other options being considered?

I just got a response Friday from the Durham NC Marriott. They don't have a reception space for Prom for the sample weekend I quoted (May 5). They do have hotel rooms at $109. I guess the next step is to actually speak to a human and see if they can accomodate us any other weekends, and see if they'll come down on price.
Though honestly, nobody seems to be that excited about NC - if there's no interest, I don't need to actually make phone calls to strangers. So speak up if you want me to go forward.

I like the idea of NC very much, but I don't know enough about the target area to be of any help. It's a good time of year to be there as I recall.

I like the idea of NC. Or Boston.

I think, that the idea of picking a city first is the problem. I've called/emailed with several places in Boston, but rates and availability are differing greatly depending on the date. I think that we should go back to picking the date first. Then at least we can get firmer numbers.

Isn't that the point of city first? Ask them about a few dates, pick a cheaper one for Boston, and go from there?

What is even happening?

I think so, Trudy, that, and sometimes it's a combo of city/date that makes or breaks the F2F for people. In other words, some people are never going to be able to make it to Boston. Other people are never going to be able to make it to Durham. Some people will go anywhere, date dependent. Some people can only make it to the city near them on some dates.
