You need to take a sabaticle, and get your ass over here to attend...

Scheduled to be moving in August. Not going to dick around with ping-pong across the pond if I can help it. And besides, my poor 3/s still is waiting on its extra .5L.

[DrGonzo]

$100 per room, is that per night or for the full 5 days?

[2fnloud]

per night

[DrGonzo]

Damn, I may have to look into doing my own hotel then. I'm looking more along the lines of $50 a night. I can't justify paying $100 a night for something I may only spend 6-7 hours in a day...

[CoopKill]

Can't find a $50/night hotel that a doctor visit would not be needed after here.

[2fnloud]

Find a roommate, my first year, I had:

Myself
Martin Swooger and his wife
Dave
Nathan

hold on....

Hotel is not final.

We hope to keep the price to no more than $100 per night. That does not mean the price will be $100 per night.

Our goal for hotel is a decent hotel aka not the Ritz and not motel 6.

We negotiate a group rate that is normally better than you can on your own. The price will be competitive for a decent hotel for the area.


So just relax till we get this sorted out.
