Re: [videoblogging] Pixelodeon attendees
Some more Magic Castle details -- only 6 king rooms left available there. These have 1 king bed in the bedroom and a full/queen sofabed in the living room. Unfortunately, none of the 3 suites with 2 Queen beds is available; neither are the 2-BR suites. I'd need to grab quickly -- best, Tim On 5/11/07, T Shey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry for the delay on this everyone -- I was able to find two group > discount options in the area for Pixelodeon through the travel agency > that helped us with bookings for the Frederator Awards.

Re: [videoblogging] Pixelodeon attendees
Sorry for the delay on this everyone -- I was able to find two group discount options in the area for Pixelodeon through the travel agency that helped us with bookings for the Frederator Awards. Here are the details -- if there's interest, please let me know and I will coordinate with the Pixelodeon gang to get these blocked off. 1) Magic Castle -- no block needed for discount. Our corp. rate at Magic Castle is $149 for a queen room and $159/nt for a 1-BR suite. But the 1-BR suites are very shareable -- they have a sleeper sofa in the living room and either 1 king or 2 double beds in the bedroom. 2) Hollywood Celebrity Hotel -- $129/nt for double queen rooms $119/nt for king rooms If the group falls below 10 rooms, the rate would go up $10. per room. We would need a credit card to block the space, but specials terms would apply -- 2 weeks notice for cancellations. Taxes are addl 14%. Here's their website: http://www.hotelcelebrity.com/ It's a basic, but clean, comfortable motel type place; recently renovated. Double queen rooms can be shared, max of 4 people.

Re: [videoblogging] Pixelodeon attendees
Hey T, I was driving by AFI last night and I saw a bus - the Hollywood Dash - dropping people at the corner of Western and Franklin which is where AFI is and the sign on the bus said “25 Cents” So there is public transportation to AFI.

Re: [videoblogging] Pixelodeon attendees
Forgot to mention -- Erin on our team here at NNN worked at AFI for several years and ran their Digital Content Lab there. I am sure she has a go-to list of places for people to stay -- it's how I found most of the places above. I'll ask her and re-post her recommendations. --- Tim Shey http://shey.net/ Check out the Next New Networks! http://nextnewnetworks.com/networks.html ---
Re: [videoblogging] Pixelodeon attendees
A lot of web 2.0 types I know love the Farmer's Daughter. Not too far from AFI (I used to spend a LOT of time there). http://www.farmersdaughterhotel.com/ I'd say consider staying in Hollywood or West Hollywood rather than downtown -- it can make for a bit of a trip in the morning across Hollywood but it's more fun. There's a couple affordable decent places there like The Standard (if you want crazy loud and tragically hip) and a couple of Best Westerns -- one on Highland, one on the Sunset Strip -- that aren't bad at all (or weren't last I stayed there). Also, we were able to get a very affordable hookup for everyone at Next New Networks coming out for the Channel Frederator Awards at the Magic Castle, which is very close to AFI, and everyone on our team seemed to love it. If people want to band together and get a bunch of rooms there, I know a travel agent who could possibly get a discount block there. http://www.magiccastle.com/
