Buffistas

I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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.
