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.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.
