I think the hotel is a separate adjacent location from the actual castle, just affiliated. But I found a different hotel that also provides club access for almost $70 less a night (I'd just be giving up having a pool, which may not be a factor at all in November if it's in the 50s to 70s). I probably won't pin down lodging and flights for at least another week or so, but I'm looking at arriving on 11/3 and leaving 11/7.
I've got to give first right of refusal on at least one day to a friend from Sweden (AKA The One Who Got Away) whose visit coincides with mine, but my schedule overall should be pretty flexible. I definitely want to hang out with you guys if possible.
Will do, DebetEsse. Yeah, Kate, I got sick so I pushed it. Looking like it'll be early November. You guys be around? Also, my Cinci peeps, I might be looking at you, maybe Novmeber 13th ish?
OK, I am definitely booked into the Magic Castle for Nov. 4th, 5th, and 6th. They've advised me that weekend reservations fill up fast (that Saturday is already limited to the 9:45pm seating, in fact). Is anyone game for dinner and a (magic) show one of those nights?
I have to verify with ND, but I think we'd be game for Nov. 4th dinner and magic!
Cool! There's a cover in the evenings ($30 I think), but my understanding is dinner reservations include priority seating for the main stage show, and guests can remain in the club all evening to catch the smaller shows going on throughout.
I also have a few friends that are members of the Magic Castle, they might be able to hook us up.
Sorry, Liese, I thought I responded to you but I guess I didn't! Yes, we'll be around in early November. I don't think we have any out-of-town plans between mid-October and Christmas.
Matt, I would like to see you, not sure if we can do Magic Castle just because my introvert hubby sometimes needs a quieter space.
I'll be around Thursday night through Sunday night, no specific schedule other than the Friday night dinner so I'm sure we could meet up for something less crowd-y.
Smonster and Nora! Just got approved for a conference in N'awlins Oct 12-14. I'm thinking of coming in early, since I always have PTO to burn at the end of year. Are you around?
