Sorry about the delay, I was on vacation last week and not keeping up here.
The Radisson has internet access available in the rooms for $9.95/day. I have inquired about high-speed and access in the hospitality suite. I believe hotel catering is optional, but I have asked for clarification.
The St. Louis has valet parking available, I've asked about cost and internet access.
The Cotton Exchange has high-speed internet access available for a charge of $4.95/night, valet parking (price unknown), and secure daily parking with full in and out privileges for $16.95+tax/day. The Holiday Inn Express appears to be approximately next door to the Cotton Exchange with the same amenities/rates.
The ability to upload pictures via high-speed is essential. The non-attending peeps depend on this.
If I have time I'll drive (and pick up Askye!). It is too far off for me to know my actual schedule. If I'm tight I'll have to fly because it is about 16 hours by car.
I'm so delighted. At dinner tonight with GF I mentioned the F2F being in NOLA this year. She loves the city and asked if she could join me!
She was well aware of my relationship with the Buffistas but hadn't ever been to the site. I handed her my laptop the day after the election to read some of the moving posts.
Woo!
If anyone driving in passes through S'port, can I offer a pre-F2F?
Er, there is a perfectly good Invitation for Bids available for use. ND still has it, right? Someone has to host it to post a link here.
I believe that's what -t gave to the hotels. It's the one you e-mailed me right?

That's a nice thought, Heather, thanks. I hope I can make it to NO for the F2F, and Shreveport is about halfway there, but I can't honestly plan that far in advance. I probably won't be able to commit until early April.
It's about halfway for me too, and it's easy for me to break up the drive that way and stay with family for a night. I also think anyone who drives through Lafyette needs to stop by Prejean's for alligator and frog legs.
