Convention Through July 4th!/David M. Porritt

[Z! Reinhardt]

Joe --

But isn't it the nature of the hotel business that the farther away you are
from the city's mainstream, the more overpriced the basic necessities are,
and the worse the service?  It's the old "Gotcha" phenomenon, and it doesn't
matter whether you're there on the 4th of July or any other day of the year.

Rosemont was a case in point.

Now ... can anyone talk about the location of the hotel at next year's
convention?  Will it be closer to mainstream Dallas or will it be out in a
nobody's-land?  I'm not sure how thrilled I will be facing similar
circumstances 2 years in a row.

David,
Dallas WAS the last convention I went to over the 4th. All of the shops were
closed when we got in and we were way the hell an gone away from the
mainstream Dallas, so we had to take a cab or eat at the beanery in the
hotel. Which, by the way, was WAAAAAAAY over priced. And, because of the
"Skeleton" crew, the service was lousy.
You asked so I told ya. <G>
