Ok, I'll show this to my wife, and she won't have a leg to stand on. I'll just have to go

I'm pretty sure that we could rekindle Sir Reginald Bumwipe's candle as well.

BTW No political or religious discussion would be allowed. Normally everybody abides by that rule anyways, but I just wanted to be clear. I've found that at these things that people forget their differences pretty quick when they find out how much they have in common with their fellow nerds as opposed to the public at large.

Now that's a remark that could look really bad taken out of context.

I thought of it while driving home and posted it immediately upon arrival. Just a coincidence, although an appropriate one.

That would be nice (I normally stay at Motel 6) but it's unlikely that a place that cheap would have suitable convention rooms. I think $100 per night is about as low as we can get, and based on other AH/WB cons I think the con fee will end up around 150 per head. I will shop around though.

PS The key is to room up. At Embassy Suites most of the rooms have a King bed which will sleep two, plus a hide-a-bed in the couch. At 3 guys to a room, $100 room rate becomes quite easy to stomach.

Great! Please get them to email me or post here. It will help me greatly in getting bids from hotels if I have an accurate head count.

Funny thing is Funked, in person with real people as opposed to these internet personas I'm very polite and understanding and actually I feel uncomfortable if I'm around people acting so rude and nasty as I am here in O'Club or those who come across so mean spirited as I must imagine I do to many here.

Thats actually one of the reasons I dont get "involved" in politics by voting or campaining - it makes people enemies too easy and cuts off interesting friendships.

I just dont seem to care to be polite on the internet anymore - which bellive it or not i was for a very long time but nobody gives a damn....

Yeah I understand, almost everybody on here has the same thing to some degree. I wasn't trying to single you out. Lazs for instance, pisses off a lot of people on the internet but in real life he's like the friendliest person you could meet. I just don't want people to be afraid that they will clash in real life with somebody they skirmish with on here. It just doesn't happen in my experience.
