American Airlines offers group discounts on groups of ten or more going to the same place.

Dang. No AA here. Wait, that's wrong. No American Airlines here. Yes, that's what I meant.

I have got to stop whining about home. I love it here, really I do. Just not always the being in the middle of nowhere part.

I heart your tagline, libkitty.

Thanks, erikaj. I just went back and watched Bowling for Columbine. It's not quite as good as Fahrenheit, but the man is brilliant.

One of my mom's friends when I was really little was a librarian, and I just thought she was The Shit, so that really made me smile. And seconding the MM emotion. Ok, enough natter now.

Just not always the being in the middle of nowhere part.

S'why I left, libkitty. I deeply sympathize.

Yay librarians!!

On-topic: I've got some preliminary offers in from hotels, and the deals are looking pretty good. Go convention-oriented town!

Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to make it to the Nilly-Q. Stupid finances.

My only consolation, juliana, is that I get to see you, even if it's just for five minutes at the post-ceremony party, about three days after the Nilly-Q.

Reminds me, can you link me to the festivities list? tess and I will be sharing a room at the Millenium.

Juliana, I've never done thee before. Did you e-mail or mail? To how many? How many replied? Did you change anything in the RFP?

I actually got in touch with our Convention & Visitor's Bureau, and the woman who is my contact took down my info and sent out a preliminary RFP to the hotels, who in turn emailed me with their proposals. My contact would have gathered the information if I had wanted it that way, but I wanted to see them for myself.

Woot! I'll be drawing up an itinerary this weekend, and email it to you & Java Cat ASAP.

Heather, insent.

Got it! And, backatcha twice!
