Dark Shadows Remembrance Weekend

[Uncle Roger]

The airfare from NYC is way out of my budget. Not surprising as it's a holiday weekend and smack dab in the middle of heavy vacation travel.

Yeah, if it was simply the prices for a hotel room and the event (Lara's is even free!), I wouldn't think twice about attending - but the airfares for that weekend look pricey unless one is willing to fly sardine-packed economy class with two layovers. Not my idea of fun flights - especially when it's not like flying from the East Coast to the West Coast is only a two hour flight...

I see Jerry Lacy is on the list - having noted the other day that he just turned 88, that's impressive!

On the plus side, that Marriott is a very nice property. I stayed there when I attended The Hollywood Show several years ago. They offered attendees a lot of perks, not just a reduced room rate. If you booked their package, you received free admission to the event, reduced rate on parking and a few other perks. I also received two free breakfasts, though that was probably more random. Still, they could give Pierson lessons on negotiating.

Looks like all the added rooms have been booked and the hotel is out of available rooms again.
