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)

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

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

Our wings are not tired.
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.

I'm actually pricing flights as we speak. I am annoyed that JetBlue flights are not what I want. I have a credit on Jet Blue!
