Shayna, you RULE! Thanks so much for all the hardwork you’re putting in on this. I can’t wait to see you again and meet Spiny. 🙂 ---

OK, I’m all reserved at the Ramada now. I’ll be driving down on Friday evening. I hope to get into LA around 8 or 9. If anybody still needs an airport pickup around that time, send me an email. I’ll have room for 3 in the car. I like Nym’s suggestion of putting real names together, and I’d like to add cell phones if people are interested. It worked pretty well in SLO. If you send me yours I’ll keep track and distribute them back out a few days before the event. ---

Nice work, Shayna! Sounds like a great venue for our Saturday Night All-You-Can-Eat-For-10-Bucks-Bash. 😃 ---

Ok… **Miss Creant** will be switched to maybe list (I just don’t want to take up so much space putting the whole list up again). So, the count is 46 Definites, 18 Maybes. You know…maybe we should just rent ALL the rooms at the Ramada? 😃 ---

That is a VERY good idea, then no one will have the guts to complain about the noise, should there BE any noise. Not that I am expecting any noise, you understand, but then I didn’t think there was all that much noise in SLO, and the people in the next room apparently “begged to differ.” So what do **I** know? ---

I wasn’t able to ask when I booked my room\*, but do we have a block of rooms at the Ramada? Should we suggest to them that they make it so? Oh, and **slackergirl** , thanks for offering the ride back North. I’m on no specific scedule, so whenever you’d need to leave would be fine. (\*: the guy answering the phone didn’t sound like English was his first language, or second, for that matter) ---

::Checking in from the Hardrock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas:: I am shocked and dismayed at the lack of male Doper voices chiming in, nay, SCREAMING to ask **Miss Creant** to stay in THEIR room! (I’ll get two keys, darlin’) I have reservations for that Harley set up for the weekend, **Boli.** You’re first in line. I say up through Malibu would be nice. I am SO stoked to have the chance to meet all these famous people, and see those I’ve met before once again. This looks like it’ll be one for the record books, if I may say so. ---

Um, **boli, bill**. There’s a Harley rental place right near my house and only 5-10 minutes away from the hotel. If you’re interested I’ll put up the info. ---

Thanks, **Merc** , I’m using Eagle, I’ve dealt with them before and had great success. Very close to LAX and they provide transport to and from. ---

I’ll bet the management at the Ramada is wondering why October 20 is so popular. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Esprix \* > **Anybody need a roommate, for one or possibly both nights?** I _might_, actually. I haven’t booked anything yet, but I was thinking of crashing at a motel (THE motel, of course!) for a few nights to, ya know, grant my gracious hostess **Shayna** a bit of privacy, what with her BF being around and all that. 😉 So yeah, I wouldn’t mind sharing a room with you, if only for the RUMOURS that would start. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/coldie-does-cali-the-return/76663.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/coldie-does-cali-the-return/76663.md?page=9)
