FYI the group discount rate at the Sheraton is no longer available. The good news is the rate I just got was only $10 more.

The group rate finished yesterday.
I will make sure your booking gets reset at the corperate rate.
Looking forward to seeing you.

Watched a Bikini Destinations show on HDNet that was shot at Lake Powell... Beautiful place, beautiful girls... I think your Avatar chick might have been one of them too!

Be safe on the drive and BIG SCORE on the room rate!

Make sure you adjust the front suspension to compensate for driver's side loading, else your front tires will be toast somewhere around Phoenix!

All registered, flights and hotel booked, I'm in.

For those of us arrivingon Thursday is there someway/some event/some place we can congeal for a social GTG? I'm sure there is a bar/restaraunt in the hotel. I don't have transportation.

Maybe I'll just walk around the lobby/bar saying things like "My flappy isn't working". For those in the know you'll recognize the phrase. For those that don't maybe I'll get to enjoy some of that warm Texas hospitality I've hear so much about.

I'll be there as well. There should be enough people for an informal GTG in the hotel Thursday evening. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
