Flights to SF are RIDICULOUSLY low right now ($150), why won't Seattle drop darnitall?

Flights from SF to SEA are also low. Vortex is flying into OAK, and then transferring to SFO (she's got a huge window that allows for socializing) and flying up that way. My Virgin ticket to SEA was $119 or something like that.

They're $49 or $59 right now. $109 coming back. Southwest is also pretty cheap.

Sorry, I meant round-trip - I got the $49 both ways (and then tax, fees, etc.).

Oh, lucky! That would have been cheaper than my Southwest flight.

Wow, that would totally be cheaper.

I've finally had to admit to myself that it would be completely irresponsible for me to attend this year (plus I just got a new deadline so close to the beginning of the leave I've signed up for that the crunch spilling over into f2f weekend is practically assured). Have fun without me, everyone!

NO! NO! NO!

throws tantrum at Matt not coming to F2F

Hrm, so sad to see peeps not being able to make it.

Hey, Localistas (Tacoma, Portland, et al), which nights are you guys going to be in town and for Seattlelites, any of you planning on staying at the hotel on Saturday night?

Not sure yet (due to job) what nights prior to F2F I will be in town.

Will def be at hotel Saturday night, possibly Friday night.

Right now i'm looking at being there Fri, Sat, Sun. Still waffling over spending Sun night as finances are super tight right now. Does the hotel have free parking???

eta: all this is dependant on my *not* getting shuttled to a different shift and suddenly losing my days of....*fingers crossed that i can keep vacation days after getting the inevitable shift/shaft.
