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

OK, called Hampton Inn & Suites Downtown directly.

They only have four rooms left on that weekend. I have booked them so they don't go away. Obviously this is only a temporary measure.

They have one suite which is a two rooms, a king bed in one and a pull out bed/sitting area in the other.

The other three have a king bed.

Now, the prices. If we pay when we arrive it is one, if we book on line seven days in advance (non-refundable) we get a substantial discount.

Suite: 169.00 135.00
Room: 129.00 103.00

The reviews look good. They have free wifi, free breakfast. The airport shuttle is free with the in-advance package, can't tell if it is with the regular booking.

If we can coordinate this, we can get the cheaper rate. If three or four of you can commit to booking a room un-refundable I'll cancel the reservation and we'll quickly book on-line. We'd have to do that by, let's say, June 1st. (That builds in some time in case there is a lag between my cancelling and our ability to book on-line)

If 3 of you will book a room now we can move on this now. Any takers?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks, Trudy. They never called me back yesterday. Maybe you want to repost in Press? I can book a room if we need me to, but I don't want to if I am taking a room from someone who will use it.

Our wings are not tired.

I can book one of them Trudy. Then if we need it for someone else I can let them take it and stay with a friend in the area. How do we switch it from you to me?

“Not dead yet!”

x-posted in Natter:

Just made my reservations for the SCBWI conference in LA in late July. Conference is being held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, so that's also where I'm staying. I'm coming in on the 29th and leaving early on the 3rd.

So excited! Haven't been to LA in SO long. Def. looking forward to seeing LAistas!

Excellent. We should both be back in town by the end of July.

Ideally, we'll switch from me, to nobody, to booking them on-line and saving some coin.

We've got Laura, and SJ. If we can get one or two more we can do this. We just have to time it right. WOOT!

So, can we get another person to commit to a room? Then we can get these at a fo reals discount.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wait, when is it? I might be able to handle an F2F so small.

I'm going to go put a post in press.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Where would it make sense to fly into? Anywhere that Jetblue goes?

Eta: Boston + rail would work, looks like. Hm.
