    I'm going to Hybridfest this year. I plan on leaving from work around noon and arriving Friday late afternoon.

    Who wants to split a hotel room Friday and Saturday night?

    Aww... no MPG Challenge for you this year. Dang.

    The on-site hotel suites have either
    - 1 king bed plus a pull out queen sofa-bed $99.99
    - 2 queen beds plus a pull out queen sofa-bed. $109.99

    So theoretically if you chose the second option you could fit three people in the suite without having to share beds.

    If all the rooms are full, let me know I have an overflow hotel about 10 miles away.

    You probably wouldn't want to share a room with what amounts to a bald gorilla

    I would if I could. But I am leaving Saturday morning for a service trip. Maybe next year.

    I have long held that when I meet Kow I will buy him a beer and we'll drink and laugh.
    I just hope we don't meet in church. Boy, that was awkward.

    Jay, I can go in on that 2-bed room. If we get a third, that's $110/3=$37 apiece.

    That sounds good to me. I prefer a nice young hot blond. But I guess you will do. :)

    Forgot to mention, the hotel has complimentary hot breakfast.
    Also on Saturday night, from 5-6pm there is free beer/wine and munchies for hotel guests. That's where we will hang out until the dinner is served back at the Exhibition Hall banquet room. (If you aren't a hotel guest then you have to pay cash for the hotel drinks.)

    I know some people are camping instead, but man, for $37 a person, it seems like a good deal to stay at the hotel.

    If you guys haven't reserved a room yet, you might want to do it. Some of the larger exhibitors are starting to book their rooms and that may fill things up with their staff.

    Jayman,

    I think Tony was referring to the other Jay (The Force).

    Good point. I'm not always nice; I can be bad upon request.

    I should watch what I say, though, for fear of losing my room.

    And Jayman, yeah, I was referring to TheForce in that earlier post.

    Though it would be humorous and quite an adventure, if we were forced to share a room.
