You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hi folks!

Still getting proposals from hotels, but the frontrunner right now is Hotel Nexus. They're a little far away from the center of Seattle, but there's still a lot to do there and they have a complimentary scheduled shuttle to other points of interest. Room are $119/night, and include free parking, free wifi, and complimentary breakfast.

I should have a full workup of all the proposals by Monday next week - I'm not very worried about rooms filling up, since apparently no one is booking right now. Even the Hilton wants to wheel and deal.

Ooh, we had that in Madison. Fun! (Once the old ladies in line behind you help you figure out what to do.)

ETA: Not that fun.

Pros with Hotel Nexus, BTW, include closer proximity to the localistas (except meara) and proximity to a bus hub if you want to head downtown.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Looks like the Mariners are playing Diamondbacks that weekend. I know some folks are Baseball fans. Just an idea.

(yes, I am trying to convince myself to go. I think I might be able to get the time off! I think the biggest hurdle will be finances.)

Our wings are not tired.

I would be totally down for going to a baseball game, especially one where I can root against the dreaded Snakes!

Um. I plopped in AAA discount, and for a Business Class Single King, came up with a rate of $116.10/night for our three nights. Not sure if the $119 was for doubles or something else. But, I thought I'd mention it if it helps with the negotiating.

ETA: if you select 21 day advance, the rate drops to $103.20!
