How many people in the club are thinking about attending this year? I am definitely wanting to go!

I'd like to but don't think I will be able to swing it.

I love Portland but not in the cards for me this year.

[tony b]

I'm going for sure.

I have already booked flights using frequent flyer miles. So I plan to be there.

Another painful year to get registered - when the F will they ever get this right? Lot's of sit & spin waiting for things to happen and then get timed out. Had to wait the 30 minute reset time. But, at least I got in and registered.

Hotel was another cluster F - the official hotel (DoubleTree) is already sold out at the AHA rate. I used Trip Advisor and got a room even closer and cheaper at the Quality Inn for $170/night.

I am booked for the conference and a hotel.

I am staying at the Jupiter Hotel. Roughly half way between the convention center and Cascade Brewing.

Pat, did you see how many breweries are in that same area? Rogue is just across the street from Cascade. And Basecamp and Burnside are up by your hotel. Hair of the Dog is nearby, too. Won't even begin to cover the other side of the river with Deschutes, 10 Barrel, Rogue, and Fat Heads in a several block radius.

Booked my flights now, too. Flying in Tuesday and home on Monday.

Glad I tacked on the extra days to my trip. Gonna be insane!!

[wyzzyrdd]

I am arriving Wed and leaving on Sunday

[Shanef]

I had no problem Tuesday between noon and 1 PM.
Will be booking my room soon. Likely arrival on Tuesday.

[tony b]

Better hurry getting that room, Shane, as all the nearby spots were booking up fast!

[Shanef]

Priceline. Booked Inn at Convention Center $171/night. Arrive Tuesday and leave Sunday.

[tony b]

Good deal, Shane.
