I'm also totally fine with on street parking if there *is* any nearby....

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.
