Lee, the Courtyard Marriott is really close to the Comfort Suites. I thought for some reason that Deb's hotel was actually in the U District, but it's in the Seattle Center area, AKA Lower Queen Anne. (Not, however, Downtown--I used to live within spitting distance of the Comfort Suites. It's walking distance from Downtown, but not a short walk.)

There are a fair number of hotels in that general area. If you see something, let me know, and I'll let you know the scoop about it.

Yeah, but you've got zombie ferrets, so quitcher bitchin'.

Hey! They're not zombies. They're just, you know, old.

Unless.... hmmm ...

I'm not going to make it to Seattle even though I told y'all I hoped to. It's the best of all possible excuses, in the form of a RL friend's Halloween wedding (On the beach! With costumes! Whee!) -- but why can't there be two Halloweens this year?

I hate the bring this up, but it kinda sorta seems someone ought to, so here goes.

Do we need a (pTOOee!) official discussion about retiring/reserving the CP awards? As in, a vote, or something?

Oh, lordy, ugh. Back to real live F2F stuff, yes indeedy.

Agreeing with Lee and Trudy. And ita, too.

oh, look who's startin' trouble.

eta: re Deb and the vote, not JenP.

Hee! The Days Inn comes up on Hotels.com. We used to stay there whenever our high school took trips to Seattle.

FTR, I'm cool with anywhere in Queen Anne or downtown, as long as it's reasonably inexpensive. We're good at walking.

I'd say no, Deb. It's not like we had a stated policy on them to begin with. And also I want to go nowhere near a discussion of how we determine something is BigEnough.

That Deb and her rabble-rousing ways, I tell you. Why, there ain't a saloon left in the Old West that she hasn't started a brawl in....

No, wait. I'm thinking of Yosemite Sam.

oh, look who's startin' trouble.

I don't want to, honest. How often have you seen me get involved in this sort of thing, truly?

But I'm not sure how this works. Does it need whatever the usual process is?
