I don’t think I’m particularly interested in _staying_ in the Presidential Suite (I think I may bug the hotel(s) about handicapped access, as I’m feeling particularly frail today). Of course, if we’re planning on using it as a meeting/party room, I’ll kick in the appropriate amount of cash.

That must have been _some_ sweet talking.

So who all is planning (or even thinking) about coming to this thing?
