Oz ,'Beneath You'
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!
Because I can see how free liquor at an all-ages resort might be legally problematic.
Not problematic in Jamaica. If they serve it, it's free. But Club Med, calling itself all-inclusive, didn't. And the staff made it sound like they weren't at the other resorts, but it's not like I'd ever go back, even for free.
That looks like a great hotel. Do you know anything about their ADA compliance and such? We need to make sure that all our peeps can get into and out of our main rooms without stairs and the like.
I'm trying to remember. I think they have elevators to everything, but I really can't say for sure.
Make sure ADA room and access is in the RFP, and you should either be all good, or they should hire hotties to carry people wherever they need to be.

I could live with this option, ijs.
Okay, if we're actually discussing possible hotels in-thread, may I repeat my plea for more hard data, specifically previous year's rates? I asked about it a couple days ago and got no response, not even a 'wait until we firm the dates'. Thanks.
The all inclusive Club Med I went to, you had to pay for liquor. So I was wondering if it was a redefinition.
I've only been to the one here in Florida which was quite family friendly with plenty of activities for the kids and free booze of any variety for the adults.
Where in Florida was that, Laura? That's the only place I've been to Club Med myself. Maybe the bitching got to them.
IIRC, Juliana, the hotels were $89/night in Evanston, between $109 and $129 in LA (depending on which hotel), and $139 in DC.
If at all possible, I'd like to get us back to Evanston prices for next year, rather than continuing to climb up. (And I think starting super-early, as we're doing, will help us there.)
[eta Prom rates. In Evanston, there was a general "pay what you can" pool collected. In LA, we had "prom tickets" for $20/person, and in DC, people paid $22/person. In all cases, there were some people who couldn't afford to contribute, and some people who contributed extra.]

Sorry, $99 seems to be the sweet spot for room rate. We had problems getting that low of a rate at a hotel we liked in DC, I think partially because of the late start we got, but that's me pretty much speaking out of a feeling, not hard facts. We should be able to get a better rate by hitting early. My goal is to have a signed contract with our chosen hotel in October.
Also, I'm a bit late, but I just posted the dates for F2F 2005 in press, May 20-22.
