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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Assuming every room gets the $10 Wifi, 40 rooms, 2 days of hospitality suite and minimums for catering, the Monaco's total cost comes to $280 less than the Crowne total cost (rooms and everything) [$10,190 vs $10,470].

Question: do the quoted catering costs count towards the minimums?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Question: do the quoted catering costs count towards the minimums?

Yes. And again, that was just me picking from the catering menus we can tweak up or down depending.

But, I think we could spend $2000 on booze and food - especially between Vortex, ND, and me.

Just what are you saying?

Have you met us?

Oh, I get it. Doesn't affect my back of the envelope calculations, really, but my mental picture is a bit clearer.

I didn't factor in the cost of getting the fancy rooms either side of the hospitality suite

-t, at the Crowne you can also get a nicer room, if you want (they showed us one of those).

At the Monaco, a single queen is 169, if someone wanted that.

The status is NOT quo.

-t, those room charges aren't borne by the group, so I don't think we need to worry about that for calculating overall costs.

Have you met us?

Hee.

I just made my reservations for my flight to the F2F! Something I'd never done before (my one other trip on a jet, the friend I was going with was going through work, so she took care of the reservations). I'll also be renting a car. Arriving late Thursday night and flying out late Monday.

Yay!

So, just to prod this thread; are we waiting a final negotiation with the Monaco about room prices or should we start the ball rolling on picking the hotel?*

We're about 10 days away from being only 2 months out from the event so it's time to finalize.

( *Hint: Monaco )

Monaco sounded good to me.

I have no idea about airline prices anymore. Is $308 a good fare from the east coast? I mean, it's clearly more about whether or not I can afford it, which I'm debating, but I just wonder if I should wait to see if fares go down. Anyone?

I think that's a pretty good fare. I mean, I'd be psyched if I could get that fare to fly to Boston for Christmas.
