I say we all just get one really big room and sleep with each other. If Cecil agrees to show up I will show show up. I can see us all in the hotel awaiting Cecils arrival and…Ed Zotti shows up. If I went, I would have to fly there. I’ll research the cost and think about it. 😉 ---

Id really like to go, if I could carpool with some Bay Area Dopers - but my budget will be low to non-existent. Between now and September I have to move to California from Denmark and find a place to live in San Francisco. Let me know what the prices look to be, and I’ll let you know if my budget can afford it a little closer to the date. ---

I am still waiting on a reply from two sales offices at two different hotels. Hey UncaBeer, can you email me at the [sdvegas@cwcm.net](mailto:sdvegas@cwcm.net)? I want to keep a list of the people there and plan to start a mailing list for this to keep people up to date on things. aka, those that need to bunk with others, who has kids and if I need to talk to the hotel about kid sitters etc… ---

Here’s the latest. Imperial Palace is our best bet. The price is 99 per night, and if we book 20 or more rooms we should get good service. I asked the sales rep about a meeting type thing on Saturday night, we would only pay for food and not the room rental. Of course it will be a cash bar. SO, that’s the latest…I need 20 rooms to get this deal going. Please EMAIL me if you can be amongst those that will have a room for sure. [sdvegas@cwcm.net](mailto:sdvegas@cwcm.net) Those that need to bunk up, email me too, but I am more interested at this particular time as to how many actual rooms will be needed. ---

Count me and hubby as a tentative yes. I’d have to see if he’s in town. Don’t laugh, he’s going to be in Germany for Memorial Day, he travels constantly. Also, if we came, we’d bring the kid and nanny, so we’d need a two bedroom suite. And I’m pretty sure the nanny wouldn’t mind picking up some extra money by watching a few more kids. Sue Duhnym ---

I really would love to go, and can probably afford it. The question is, do I REALLY need to make two out-of-state trips within a week of each other? The answer is probably no, but I definitely WANT to go. ---

I’m still a tentative, techie. Will have to see as it gets a little closer in time, how my money’s holding up. I’d _love_ to come!! It would just be me coming by myself, since Mr Bear will be back in UAE, and son away at college, and dau. in high school. Sigh. **Hey!** What am I _saying_! A weekend away from the kids and house? What am I complaining about? 😃 I’ll do my very best to be there!!! 😃 ---

I am still tenative as well. Though if it is Labor day weekend, I will probably be able to make it since most of my usual weekend crowd will be at Chicon2000.
