Airfare Breakdown

Okay, so we looked at the hotels we had in mind for the Convergence bid this evening.  Hooray for CorpGothness, since both contact people at the venues were impressed and surprised that I sound like a coherent, clueful adult, even after they found out it's a net.goth event, and we knocked their socks off.  That's a post for another day (ie: tomorrow).

I also did some airfare comparisons, apples-to-apples, for the C11 bids, using an imperfect but consistent tool (sidestep.com):

Official C11: Tampa Hotel Announcement

You heard it here second (well, Sil said it first).

If Tampa is selected as the site for C11, our official hotel will be The Tampa Hyatt Regency. This hotel is situated smack in the heart of downtown Tampa, blocks from the Cultural Arts District, Harbour Island, Channelside, and only 3 blocks from the TECO Streetcar. We have negotiated impressive rates for Memorial Day weekend:


Single: $99
Double: $109
Triple: $119


We will also be holding the vending, meet&greet, and afterparty in the Hyatt. For evening events, we will be pressing a fun-shuttle into service for those who do not wish to walk the short blocks to the Streetcar, or who plan on being out past 2am. The Hyatt has a plethora of public space, including an outside terrace with fountain that will be a great place for our guests to hang out once the sun goes down. Oh, yeah, there's a hot tub as well. Naturally ;-)
