It's a chicken & egg thing, isn't it? We can't get anything more than a guesstimate head count until we know which hotel - and thus what price - we're picking.
Exactly. I said 20 rooms when I started the negotiations with the hotels, though.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
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…

Yup, 20 is what we've been sticking to.

Oooh. The Crowne Plaza just came back with cheaper rates (than they'd been offering)...$159. Of course, their wifi isn't free, so I figure that ends up being $169 for everyone basically...(But I do figure that gives us something to tell the Monaco, when they come back to us)

$159? Cool. That's $20 less than previous, isn't it?

Yay, I am really happy about the "downtown" aspect. These places sound great. I always associate Crowne Plazas with the boring conferences I have to attend all of the time, and I associate Kimptons with hip and cool and fun.
Associations aren't everything, though!

That's really what I was expecting, Java, but I was pleasantly surprised with the Crowne Plaza.

Hey, after experiencing a Buffistas F2F at a Crowne Plaza, I'm sure the "boring" association would be right out.

Either one sounds good. I like the Crowne Plaza since I get points there, but if we do the Monaco Kristin and I would probably opt for one of the higher end rooms so at least one side of the hospitality suite would have our own people there.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'll be looking for someone to room with.

Oh, ND, you party-animal.
Now, hopefully we can get someone for the other side of the HS, if we go with the Monaco.
