I'm also totally fine with on street parking if there *is* any nearby....
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

On street parking isn't going to happen. It's downtown so all the parking spots are metered and have a max of 2 hours.
The hotel parking is probably the best option.
Any peeps flying in at the same time might want to think about sharing a car or cab.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
aw meara- I wish I'd seen your message earlier. It's probably too late to make dinner and be back to the airport by 8.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Seattlistas, what do you think of this as an airport-to-hotel transport option? One of the stops is the Fairmont Olympic, which looks to be only a couple of blocks from the Hotel Monaco.

Yes, I think that's what I was meaning when I said there was a shuttle-y thing that went to downtown hotels! :) Thanks dcp!
They have a counter alllllll the way down at the end of the baggage claim, but it's pretty obvious once you walk all the way down there.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hotel update: We are at 33 room nights - they extended the block to be Thursday-Saturday. The deadline for reserving within the guaranteed block is May 26, which is not the deadline for the 40-room minimum.
Has anyone who is planning to come not made their reservation??
Funds update: we are at $1100. They will be charging my card on June 15 for the estimated total, and then will charge any remainder after the event. That being the case, I would really love to have all of the funds by June 15.
Thanks to everyone who has sent in and made their reservations!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
juliana, I've done a bit of eBaying and will send you my chunk as soon as I've done a bit more (and if anyone knows anyone who likes vintage bathing suits and would like to bid on a '40s suit in near-perfect condition, let me know and I'll post a link when it's up).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That being the case, I would really love to have all of the funds by June 15.
How much are we estimating per person, again?

I think it was around $50 PC. Usually those folks who can afford send more to help cover the folks who are really struggling to pull together enough cash to attend.
