Has there been any word on exactly WHERE the DS Fest in New York is going to be held next year?
I'm pretty sure I asked this question when the dates for next year were announced: how can they announce the dates if the location hasn't been booked yet....and if it's booked somewhere, why hasn't it been announced?
Anybody in the know?
Abbeymarch and I tend to dither ?!? :( :) >:( ?!? and will require as much time as possible to make up our minds about going! ::)

Rainey
I think we are going to be kept in the SHADOWS for another couple of months...

It will be announced sometime in the near future. Gotta wait some more. I just hate those dates, Aug. 8 - 10. My daughter's birthday is the 7th. I will have to go to New York the day of the Festival. That won't leave me any time to go to a few places I wanted to go to and look up some info on Craig Slocum. :'(

Cheryl
Was he from NY?
Yes, Manhattan. I went to see where he lived last time I was there. I would really like to know where his grave is, so I can visit him at least once.

Just a note for those who stayed at the Marriott WTC in August 2001: watch your mail for an unassuming notice of a class-action lawsuit against the Marriott for billing customers a separate energy charge. (I remember receiving my bill and wondering what the $1.50 per day charge -- I think that was the amount -- was for. Apparently some Marriott customers were so incensed by this that they decided to sue -- hey, this is America! :D)
At the bottom of the notice is a coupon -- mine was for $10 -- good for your next stay at a Marriott. If you accept this settlement offer, you agree not to pursue a higher monetary recovery from Marriott.
P.S. I just noticed the spell checker at the bottom of the screen -- has that always been there?! :)

Hi, Vlad!
I received it too, but I remember being told what the energy charge per day would be when I reserved my room and was even asked if I understood what I was being told, which seemed really weird at the time, but I guess they were already getting complaints by then.
P.S. I just noticed the spell checker at the bottom of the screen -- has that always been there?! :)
Since May. ;)
If you're interested in what MB said about it, the announcement is currently on page 8 of the Testing 1, 2, 3 board.

I also received then notification regarding the energy bill. I really cannot remember if they told me but if it was only $1.50 per day I would rather have the $10 certificate.

In 1980, I saw John Belushi in concert with the Blues Brothers in Hollywood. My little girl's father worked on the movie too. He met him. Hope to see you in New York too Jennifer! 8)

I haven't received anything from the Marriott yet - will watch for it.

Thanks Vlad...I received the certificate a few days ago.

I didn't receive anything about it.

You could easily throw it in the trash not knowing. It does not appear important at first glance. Perhaps you did receive the letter and it was discarded?

I had time to dither yesterday and was searching the Net for August 2003 Conventions/Fests scheduled in NYC and nothing came up for a DSFest as of yet. If they announced the dates then they have the place but where? And why the big secret?
If I knew where, I could try and get our local tour bus company to see if they could arrange a weekend bus trip for anyone in the area that was interested in going but I'd need a hotel name first.
I'll continue my sleuthing.

My husband recieved one of thos from The Marriott he stayed in Calf. about the energy charge! notice the cert
is for $10 off a room for the nite no big deal!

Why Jennifer....I'd be happy to have a certificate for $10 off a room at a Marriott! Our favorite is the Boston Longwharf where we spent part of our honeymoon, 20 years ago next month!
$10 may not seem like much, but it would help there, where the room rate is currently somewhere around, oh,........$400 a night!!!!! [shkdy]

Apparently, it always has been and always will be a "big secret" until the very last possible moment...call it SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF!;)

credit for amout overcharged because i wrote out check
i told them your mistake please give me check back i'llrewite it or cash they did give me cash! just love the fact hotels want to make more money when they overcharge to begin with
Sorry for rant but corporate greed makes me fume and i

I'm with you regarding getting my money back!!
We love the Longwharf because of the location. Park the car in their garage and leave it there until the drive home. Also, being Sicilian, proximity to the North End is required! Of course, last time we were there they were just beginning the Big Dig.....can you still get to everywhere from there?
Raineypark....wandering way off topic!

We've stayed at a variety of hotels in Boston but one of our favorite restaurants in the North End is Saraceno's on Hanover Street. We were there just as the Big Dig was getting underway and it was a mess then. Check out the Boston Globe online and see if it gives you an update.

That's possible it ended up in "file 13" as I call it, but no biggie!

To Jennifer,
Sorry about the incomplete post---I messed up. Anyway where on MV island is John Belushi"s grave? Would love to visit. We vacation there every year (Oak Bluffs). Next summer I want to be sure to visit the grave. I thought I had seen all there was to see!!
Hopefully, Misty

Misty, when that happens, just click on "Modify", and you can go back in your post and change anything or add more to it if you want, instead of starting another post. Just thought I would help.

Just thought I would help.
Thanks, dear. :)

Thanks for the info, Craig Slocum, I made note of it because I'm good at messing up things when trying to post sometimes. I appreciate it.
All thumbs on the keyboard, Misty

Thanks for the info, Craig Slocum,
You're welcome Misty! If you make a mistake, you can correct it. That's a great advantage here.
