(313) DEMF Hotels
For those who were looking at hotel prices this year: A friend of mine from NYC called up the Ren Cen (Marriott). Looks like they finally got wise, and are charging 260 a night now. This, of course, was calling the hotel direct, but last year they were charging about 120 calling them direct. Just a friendly FYI for those preparing their travel budgets... Peace, Alex

Last year you had to walk miles in the Ren Cen though with this detour as they were reconstructing, so it was further to walk. I kept getting lost in that MF.

Re: (313) DEMF hotels / Oscar Mulero as a DJ
The Ren Center is very nice and the staff are lovely, it's just quite expensive and the lifts can play up!!!. I've stayed in places like Sofitel in other cities which is five-star and paid less per night. But you can get morning coffee downstairs and there's a radio shack, which is useful. There's another place near KMS that is good too, starts with R... > I'm from Detroit so I haven't gotten a hotel. But I've heard bad things > about the Ren Cen as its filled with "frat boys".

Re: (313) DEMF hotels / Oscar Mulero as a DJ
I'm from Detroit so I haven't gotten a hotel. But I've heard bad things about the Ren Cen as its filled with "frat boys". Right across the street is a Marriot Courtyard, which might be cheaper and is right across the street from Hart Plaza. If you are going to have access to a car, I would recommend staying in Warren. There are some nice hotels there for cheap on the weekends espcially. Its a 15 minute drive downtown and if you park in the underground structure parking is only like 2 bucks a day. Plus pretty much everyone is going to be going to some afterparties, so your going to have to drive anyways. And I doubt that Hawtin will be using the City Club this year, so don't stay in the Ramada for that reason. - Original Message - From: "Greg Earle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 10:59 PM Subject: Re: (313) DEMF hotels / Oscar Mulero as a DJ > I stayed at the Ren Center Marriott in 2001.

Re: (313) DEMF hotels / Oscar Mulero as a DJ
I stayed at the Ren Center Marriott in 2001. I've found it's very handy to be easy walking distance from the event, whatever it is (DEMF, computer conference, whatnot). Last year I stayed with my friends (Electro duo VolSoc) in a pimpin' room at the Atheneum. A little bit further away than the Ren Center, slightly nicer room. Downsides: Very noisy, and somehow the staff discovered our little (*cough*) 4:20 setup, and threatened to throw us out. Cooler heads prevailed, and we remained. I don't think I'd go back there this year, though, after that. --- I've seen Oscar Mulero do a tag-team 2x4 set with my friend Angel Molina (where are you, Juanjo?) at Sonar. Very Mills-ian set.

I don't think that the priceline/RenCen debacle will be repeated. In 2001 you could get rooms at ReCen for like $45 a night, and have 4 people stay there. But if you're willing to camp in a room with 2 or 3 of your best buddies, there are still bargains -- the Omni is listed orbitiz for $94 and change ... getting deals on travel involves sometimes spending a lot of time visiting different sites. It can be worth it -- i.e. you might be able to get a priceline room in Detroit for $50 a night ...
Re: [313] DEMF hotels
I booked a double room at the Pontchartrain for $99 a night by calling them directly (thanks for the number Alex:)...you can't get closer to the Plaza than the Pontchartrain I don't think. Lady I spoke to said the rooms are going fast, so give 'em a call on 313.965.0200/0775 if you're interested.

Re: [313] Re: OK PEOPLE was [313] DEMF - Hotels
If there's any substance to that, could someone tip us off, please, please, please, please, please. It's hard to chill out when you have put every cent you have towards something and are on a one meal a day, walking instead of taking a tram, taking on more work than you can handle, lowering your immune system regime to afford international air fares, etc! I am sure there are people on the other side of the world who would love to know and would value it! >We *think* its Memorial Day weekend again, but >THERE IS NO RELEASED INFO ON DEMF YET !!! >Don't worry there will be HUGE announcements when info is released IM >sure..so just chill out people =)
Re: OK PEOPLE was [313] DEMF - Hotels
We *think* its Memorial Day weekend again, but THERE IS NO RELEASED INFO ON DEMF YET !!! Don't worry there will be HUGE announcements when info is released IM sure..so just chill out people =) sorry, but it just seems like we have been going in this circle forever now. Rant over.
