I don't know the Seattle airport, but I'm assuming it's worth $20 to get an on-site car through Budget vs. taking the shuttle to Dollar, right? Both have on-site counters, just not cars.

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

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I looked at the shuttle info, and IIRC there's one hotel exactly on the opposite corner of the square block that the hotel sits on (two blocks to walk the regular way, or the square root of C squared blocks if you can manage to burrow straight through the diagonal leg of the triangle), and it's only $10 or $11.

We did? I may have been drunk.
At the SF2F, a mildly disturbing lurker from another Buffista's "other" board showed up and bullshitted his way in by dropping various names. Then he made all the ladies uncomfortable, until Pete butched up and got all loomy at him, causing him to flee, tail 'twixt his legs, never to be seen again.
It did seal the utter and delicious adorability of Pete, so it's not like no good came of the incident at all, but now that we all know exactly how adorable he is we don't really need a repeat.

Any idea how late that bus runs?
Every half hour till 11:33, then 12:03 and 12:33 and 1:23 leave from 2nd and Pike, then 2:15 and 3:30 leave from Union and 4th. But I don't think anyone has a flight THAT late.

Oh my! I didn't know about that! I was just re-reading my post about that F2F, and I even made a comment that anyone could have found out the location of the Hospitality Suite; I didn't realize someone HAD.
Thanks for the hotel shuttle info! That's a cheaper option than the cab and may be more convenient than the bus; I'll look into it.

In keeping with the traditional Buffista f2f greeting, I have a haircut appointment this afternoon. Only to get the ends trimmed, but still! I am sticking with tradition!

Bless you, you beautiful creature.

I'll not call you a beautiful creature lest your Mother hunt down my White Devil Woman ass, but bless you as well.

Oh. Right. Now I remember.
(And yes, some of the blame goes to the demon rum.)

It's their meeting room, I believe, since the website lists that as being flanked by two monico suites (which is where juliana & vortex and ND & I are staying).

well, in all fairness, he could have just walked up to the desk and asked. I don't think that it was the posting that caused the problem.
Okay FINAL CALL for info. This is the Slacker Info call! List will be sent out in the next 38 minutes!
Also, if you do not want your info in the list that is uploaded to the 'net, speak now (feel free to email as well). The URL WILL NOT be posted on the board, it will be emailed along with the soft copy of the list.

Front desk says a cab from the airport runs about $35-$45.
Yeowch, and yet still cheaper than having the Hotel park a car for you. I figure what I'm not paying in rental/parking will more than make up for any hit I take on cabs.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking right now too.
Ooh, it looks like a friend of mine from Rice can drop me off at the airport on Sunday after dinner. Rock. We're going to have a little Show Assistant reunion.
