21:18 <@oddball> Holy shit.  Yeah... if PN ever wants to come back to Nashville proper, hotel rate *will* be significantly higher: http://www.wsmv.com/story/31971007/downtown-nashville-hotel-prices-higher-than-new-york-city
21:18 < PigBot> Title: Downtown Nashville hotel prices higher than New York City - WSMV Channel 4 (at www.wsmv.com) http://tinyurl.com/j429ugj
21:21 < cyberanger> oddball: Well, with that in mind, can we consider moving PN to the Hotel Penn. (What, it works so nicely for HOPE)
21:21 < cyberanger> Ouch
21:23 <@oddball> People bitch about con hotel rates being >$100/night, and then people bitch about the quality/location of the hotel when we find a place that we can negotiate less.
21:24 <@brimstone> $100/night isn't bad for 3 nights, when you split the room 4 ways
21:24 <@oddball> People bitched about the quality of the hotel PN was in last year.  It wasn't the Ritz, but it honestly wasn't a bad hotel.
21:25 <@brimstone> no, last year was ok
21:25 <@brimstone> i didn't get around to swimming
21:25 <@brimstone> meant to do that last year
21:26 <@oddball> $100/night is an awesome price in Nashville at this point.  Unfortunately, there's no way in hell we can get that price in Nashville proper anymore.
21:26 <@oddball> brimstone: Yeah.  People said it was a crappy hotel, and my reaction was basically "sorry, we can't afford the fucking Hyatt."
21:27 <@brimstone> phreaknic doesn't seem like a fancy hotel, not to me at least
21:27 <@brimstone> the last phreaknic johnnyx ran seemed too stuffy
21:28 <@brimstone> i miss the days inn
21:28 <@brimstone> that's the phreaknic hotel to me
21:28 <@oddball> Really?  Interesting feedback.
21:28 <@brimstone> saturday night was loads of fun, after the talks ended, just hanging out hacking on stuff in the big room
21:28 <@brimstone> of that phreaknic
21:29 <@brimstone> but the rest seemed too fancy
21:29 <@brimstone> i think because of the hotel
21:29 <@oddball> I'm involved in a scifi con (Hypericon) that's going to be in that hotel in June.  They're working well with us so far, and they've had other fandom conventions there.
21:30 <@oddball> Unfortunately, the Days Inn is now a Clarion, and has gone through a remodel that makes it a bad fit for conventions.
21:30 <@oddball> The top floor is now all one room with no way to divide it.
21:31 <@oddball> Not to mention that the best rate they'd give Hypericon (who started there) was something like $250 a night.
21:32 <@brimstone> that's why i can't find it on daysinn.com
21:33 <@oddball> The night manager begged Hypericon to come back.
21:33 <@brimstone> >$160 a night it seems
21:33 <@brimstone> street price
21:34 <@brimstone> that's for right now
21:34 <@brimstone> >$260 a night for phreaknic weekend
21:34 <@brimstone> omg
21:34 <@oddball> Really? huh.  I remember being told that they were quoting us over $200 for the room block rates.
21:34 <@oddball> ah, ok.
21:35  * brimstone wanders off
21:35 <@oddball> Well, that might be because there's a 50/50 chance that PN weekend is a home game for the Titans.  The team sucks, but a lot of folks still show up for the games.
