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. 
Good idea, Slackergirl. Email sent with my cell number
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?
Thanks Shayna!
For those who are driving, here is a map of where the restaurant is.
This is so exciting, I’m really looking forward to it!
Shayna, you’re the best!
Thank you for all the hard work you’re putting into this.

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.
so Uncle Bill is that a formal invitation?
Unnmm… I wasn’t wearing a tie at the moment, and there IS only one bed…
I WILL however, get two keys.
I can sleep on a cot
I’ll bet the management at the Ramada is wondering why October 20 is so popular.
You bastards are going to go and make this all FUN, aren’t you, and GUILT me into staying the WHOLE WEEKEND, aren’t you?
Damn you! Damn you all to hell!
<sigh>
Anybody need a roommate, for one or possibly both nights?
<sigh>

Will you, Esprix? Please?
Unless something more appealing comes up, you can stay with Caldazar and me.
Too late. I live in Hell-A (aka Los Hideous).
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.
