I can probably bring a spare laptop with a a wireless card and as such set up a small wireless node in the hospitality suite.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Also, SA, I'm happy to allow use of my .mac space for photos. Between that and a laptop with iPhoto it's quick and easy to upload photo albums.
Now that I think of it I'll pack my spare iBook and a spindle of blank CD's and folks can easily burn disks with copys of other folks pictures.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I've got iPhoto on my mac laptop; I was only planning on bringing my pc, though, which has a wireless card & I'll be buying a router this month, so. Maybe we could have two stations? It's not like we won't use them.

Ooo, ND! Cool!
May I be a flake and say that the details about food are probably in the hotel website, which I don't want to look at right this minute? In fact, would someone like to deal with the reception/food stuff?
The contract states that we are obligated to meet a food and beverage minimum (of $800, not including 10% tax & 20% service)), it quotes the food prices above, and reiterates that all food & bev served in the hotel must be purchased from the hotel. (which we knew; which they all say).
There's another section on F&B policy, their license requires the bartender to check ID, and refuse to serve someone who appears intoxicated. They encourage us to have a designated driver policy, or they will assist in that and/or overnight accomodations.

Bring the PC with wireless and we'll have multiple stations. I'll bring the iBook with iPhoto and make sure I have a CF reader and some other stuff like that for uploading pictures. We'll basically set up a local wireless node in the suite so any wireless network computers can be online from there. I'll also make sure I've got my Powerbook with me, from there I can make DVD's that have slideshows of pictures too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The hotel web site doesn't give details, but I did find this:
FREE High-Speed Internet Access in Every Guest Room! And we've also installed Wi-Fi access points in the lobby, restaurant, and meeting rooms.

It's so exciting to see the list! And I'm on it (I keep thinking something will keep me from coming...but no power in the 'verse can stop me).
For the record, I'm staying with Anne W and I need to give someone my contact information...although I don't have a cell phone.

I can add my laptop to the mix, too.
