I'm waiting on the Monaco's response to my haggling for a lower room rate. If they don't come through and the rates stay the same as before, what say you? Crowne Plaza or Monaco? Should we put it to a vote, at this late date? Or shall we attempt to BS consense it?

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I think at this point we should reach a BS consensus about it.

My vote is for Monaco.
Equally good Ballroom for Prom (also superior ballroom if the weather is bad as the Plaza's best ballroom is outside).
Significantly better Hospitality Suite.
Rooms are comparable
Monaco's restaurant was really nice with an award winning chef and some very affordably priced Happy Hour snacks. I don't know about outside of Happy Hour as I didn't get to see the full menu.

Btw, what does 'bs consensus' entail?

Make a decision in thread and run with it.

Do we just set a date and time to call it done and then tally up the input?

It's rarely even that formal if it is of the BS variety. Basically say we are about to make a decision and see which way the majority of the wind is blowing and run with it.

Monaco has sounds fine by me, given the local recommendations based on seeing the place and the prices.
