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