Kristin, from my notes, my Toronto info post was #5419. I haven't had a chance to Nilly it up yet.

ND, regarding F2F quotes, my contact from torontotourism has had vacation and email issues, but assures that I should be getting info asap, so a couple of days leeway will mean I have better information.

I'm fine with waiting. We should definitely get what info we can for KC and Toronto before deciding on NO :-)

Lazy note-taking bastard.

Looks good then. John, keep us posted on the info coming from Toronto and if it looks like we need a few more days we'll take it.

I've got the "Bust" article on KC that I plan on summarizing as well and a good post about the bars and restaurants in the Plaza area and I'm going to try to find out what's going on at Missouri Rep and things like that.

Okay, I'm off again, meeting my real estate agent to look at a house that I won't be able to afford.

ND - I assume you want me to set up a poll here? How do you want it set up. Should folks rank their choices? Rate them some other way (e.g. would go / won't go)? Or just vote for one city?

I'm not sure. I'm waffling between vote for a single city and go for the top two choices.

In times past, the poll had an opportunity to indicate which you preferred, which you would be fine with, and which would rule you out entirely. I'd like to keep that format if possible, at least in getting to a top two if we go that way. If a particular city has a high number of rule-outs for some reason, it'd be nice to be able to weigh that in our decision.

I say vote for two choices, and the one that gets the most votes wins.

re: the discussion about passports for Toronto

It's not so much of a big deal coming into Canada, but it is a big deal going into the U.S. The INS (or whatever they're called now) are stationed at Pearson airport, and won't let you get on the plane if there's any question about your paperwork. Get a passport.

Original proposal for KC is here:

Additional hotel-type info:

Thirteen hotels were contacted within the last week. Ten are located in the central corridor of Kansas City, MO. Three in Kansas City, Kansas. Three hotels (in MO.) were excluded from rates and averages due to inability to meet a number of our specific needs.

Standard room rates range from $65 - $149 per night. Average = $85 Majority of hotels (75%) charge same rate for up to four people per room.

Hospitality Suite rates range from $79 - $225 per night. Average = $125

Banquet room / private dining room rates (for prom) range from $500 - $1500, depending on numerous variances.

More detailed information to come. Probably this weekend.
