Hey folks. I just found out that I should be able to go (yay!). There are two or three hotels near Stuart's place, ranging from $55 or so to $90 or so a night. I'm thinking of calling these places (at least the Days Inn and Hampton Inn) to see about group rates, so I'd like to get a count of

Gentlemen, With an idea of numbers we will explore group rates. There are a few close lodgings. The Days Inn and Hampton are within 1 mile of here. There are quite a few with 5 miles. Stuart On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 11:52 AM, Stephen Wille Padnos spad...@sover.net wrote: Hey folks. I just

I may be able to come, my wife with me. I'd probably be there a couple days on the early end of the deal, maybe longer. The lower end prices would suit us much better than the higher for sure. Moses On Wed, 2009-03-25 at 12:52 -0400, Stephen Wille Padnos wrote: Hey folks. I just found out
