TRUDS! You're coming! Wanna be roomies, or so you want your own room?
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'll cross my fingers the 18th works well.
So am I. Can't make it the 25th.

Ok - good news and bad news.
The hotel has rooms available both weekends, we just need to commit to one or the other. Room rates would be $74.95 for either a king or a room with two doubles. All rooms have microwaves and (maybe) a mini fridge. Plus all the free stuff I noted earlier.
For hospitality space we could do a suite with two rooms, though they won't remove the bed, for $125/day OR they have a meeting space on each floor that has a murphy bed and that is $150/day.
Bad news - they do not do alcohol or loud music in any of their meeting rooms (I'm thinking we are ok in our rooms and the hopitality space if we do a suite).
I know that isn't quite deal breaker news - we can do the prom off site. Though off site means driving as there isn't anything workable in walking distance.
Ideas, thoughts, recommendations?
And would someone throw up a poll for the weekends since we can choose from either. The first weekend is Pride, so if anyone is interested, that is a short light rail ride away.

I'm getting the pig!
Suzi, we can throw a poll up on Sunday when we get together, unless you can get to it before that. I'm in the Atlanta airport for another 3.5 hours and then on a plane home.
Erin, trail ride? Like on horses? I know of a place in Golden (near where I work) that rents horses for guided trail rides along the foothills.
I would prefer to keep prom at the hotel, if possible, and we can look at more hotel options on Sunday.

Yeah, we've done prom at a separate location in the past, but weren't they always within easy walking distance of the host hotel? If that's not a possibility I'd say the hotel doesn't meet our needs.

I have contacted another hotel that can accommodate both dates, a hospitality suite, and the party. I don't have room rates yet - she said she would e-mail me by the end of the day.
It is in the tech center, so surrounded by office buildings, but there are great restaurants hidden within many of the buildings. The hotel also has a shuttle that goes within a 5 mile radius. The walk to light rail is a little further, but I would think that anyone who doesn't feel comfortable with the walk could hop the shuttle.
I'm hoping she comes back with good rates. Her boss's kids take karate at the dojo. Another dojo connection! I have seen him at the dojo, but didn't know what he did until a couple of days ago. He gave me his card and told me to name drop. Hopefully it pays off.
