At $65 it was worth it to me, at $150 and up it's likely not going to be when for $50 more a night you can be within a mile at a bed & breakfast.


    As for the time shares, we were getting quotes of $1100 for 1 or 2 bedrooms last month (1 or 2 bedrooms are listed usually as sleeping between 4 and 10) within 5-10 miles of the convention center, and walking distance was I think around double that. If we had serious interest, we could start that legwork back up - I am sure I can get the links Steve and I were passing around to start with - but it requires an up-front commitment which is part of the difficulty.

    Thanks for the update. $1100 divided 3 ways (Steve, you, and I) is not bad at all, even better if we can another person. Is this for Wednesday through Sunday occupancy? We just need a place to store loot, sleep, and shower.

    At least. Some are a full week requirement, but that wouldn't be a problem for me, I can work from anywhere so long as I have my phone and laptop.

    Well, if you're serious I guess we should start looking into that again.

    So parking went on sale without any announcement that I saw and the convention center and nearby hotel are already sold out.
