Smonster, I'd offer to put you up at my place, but I'm in the northwest 'burbs--very inconvenient to get to unless your conference is in the O'Hare area.
We could definitely arrange a dinner, however!

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Regarding cars, either Cass or I (or possibly both) will be driving up from Portland, so that's 1 or 2 more cars. I don't particularly want to drive all weekend long, but I don't mind doing some runners if need be.
The Monaco sounds fabulous and really eager to have us, which seems promising. I am a sucker for pretty.

I'm 90% sure I'm in town that week and can offer a sofa to sleep on if need be.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Kathy, thanks anyway. Hope to get to see you while I'm there.
brenda, I should know in the next few days whether that will be necessary. Thanks so much for offering! Are you reasonably close to public transportation?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Monaco has dropped the double room rate to $179/night from $189 (Single queen suite remains at $169). I say we go with them - they're super eager to work with us.

Do it. I say we pull the trigger on this one. I'd love to get my room and flight and everything else booked on this.

[In case anyone else has status with another hotel chain and can use the info: Kimpton has comped me Inner Circle status based on my Platinum status with Starwood. Can't hurt to try! I'm psyched because I really love their hotels and they have them in a few business(ish) locations, so now I won't always have to opt for Starwood.]
