I would say strike Sea-Tac from the list right off the bat. It's close to the airport and nothing else. Plus, the area's nast.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

Yup, ditto the other first-look responses above; dump the Sea-Tac location. It's a miserable shitty area that serves no purpose except to be right next to the airport.

In a more upbeat response, the other three hotels seem excellent.
Comparing the Monaco & Crowne Plaza's ballroom expenses, I am left wondering how many people attended the LA & SF F2Fs? Anyone? Bueller? $33 per head crosses the $2000 mark with 61 people.
Has anyone set foot in the hotels? I'm wondering what those ballrooms look like. I guess I'll check the hotels' sites...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I am left wondering how many people attended the LA & SF F2Fs?
Given the economy, I've been lowballing at 35-40 attendees (18-20 rooms, which matches NOLA).
Has anyone set foot in the hotels?
Which leads to my next question - which of the Seattleistas would like to volunteer to check out the spaces? Please? bats eyes

I have plenty of time on my hands, I can check out the spaces. Email me, Juliana--are there are particular people I should ask for, or do I just go in and say "hi, I want to see the [name of ballroom/suggested prom place/whatever]"

Meara, I'd be interested in tagging along if the timing works out.

Sure, Pete--I'm not sure I have your contact info? Email me, and I'll keep you in the loop.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Like a helium filled balloon in the shape of adorable is his looming.
