Okee doke. Well, then my only other question has been covered by ND above.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

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

I'll take the other side of the Hospitality Suite if ND takes the one side.
Of course, they'd be sharing a single King bed with you. Just a reminder. That's obviously a positive for some, a negative for others...

I can't think of for whom. Unless you count the married people who'd have to keep their hands to themselves. Or maybe not.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Ayup. One of the beautiful things about Buffistas is that where there are boundaries, they are respected.

That'd be the ones.
Yes, Omnis, there are boundaries. Don't make me frag you.

Omnis is a gentleman around da ladeez. I can vouch that he would be horrified if he violated any boundaries. :-) (Yes, I deemed an emoticon necessary for that last sentence.) And Omnis, it's usually pretty clear who is comfortable with snogging and such and who is not, so don't stress about that. We're good about giving each other space (or not, if that's the preference!).
The Monaco sounds like a winner to me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Spreadsheet:
Name : Monaco
Room : 189 double queen or king
Hosp. : comped if we reach 40 room nights on Fri & Sat, otherwise $250/night
Party : 150
Catering : 980
Bar : billed on drinks served
Minimum : 1500
Parking : 40/night
WiFi : free
Name : Crowne
Room : 159 double or king
Hosp. : 300/day
Party : waived
Catering : 1110
Bar : 32/person
Minimum : 2000
Parking : 32/night
WiFi : 10/day
I still think the Monaco wins -do you think the Monaco lady would be amenable to dropping the room rate?

Keep in mind also that the Crown Plaza will require us to cater the hospitality suite (we can bring in nuts or snacks but not drinks/coffee/food), which could be kind of a pain. I don't think that would be an issue at the Monaco.
And when they said 40 room nights at the Monaco that means 40 total between Fri/Sat, just to be clear. Not each night.
Oh, and....I don't know why anyone would really need a car? Pete, Jilli, Plei? Downtown, the bus is free. There are cabs everywhere...there's a bus from the airport, and a not-too-badly priced shuttle thing to the downtown hotels, too.

I think it's a buyers' market and it doesn't hurt to ask.
