*high five, anyone?*
*looks away from Kissy*
Got a response from Grand Union Hotel, ladies, which has confirmed a price of $165 + tax = $190 for 10/9-10/10. Reviews on tripadvisor at:
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g60763-d122015-Reviews-Hotel_Grand_Union-New_York_City_New_York.html
Candid photos on that site, and more:
Yesss...it's not exactly the Ritz we were hoping for (or...I'll mention it once only and never again - The Alex suite for $200 that we found in the spring *sob*), but at least we'll be together, and that's what count, r-r-right?
So Nic, Nik, Siv and Beka - yay or nay to it? Majority rules.
(And have a safe trip out to NYC, Siv!!!)

tiff, regarding rath and the hotel/restaurant headcount... idk if i can commit yet, because my friend isn't sure yet either. what restaurant is this? is it an incredibly massive problem if the reservation includes me and i can't come? i'll IM you later... (im in school)
yay for the hotel, that one was fine. astor on the park didn't work out? that one looked a touch nicer.
I suppose I'm in if everyone else is gung-ho for it. There are 5 of us, right? So about $40??
Beka, I think we nixed the Astor one because it was on 170th St...that was the one right? It may have been nicer for the $$, but that's certainly way the hell up there!!!

OH i didn't realize that it was all the way up there. ok, this one looks good! and it doesn't have dead rats and condoms under the bed, bags over the windows, and a 2x3 foot shower like some of the other ones tiff and i saw during our search.
Heh, I sent them the nasty links on the U2 thread - tres disgusting!!
We nixed Astor because it was on 107th (not 170th, but really, anything past 60th was out of the question anyway), plus it was quite a bit more expensive than Grand Union. The reviews on tripadvisor seem satisfactory. Wish they had a continental breakfast, but what can you do? (Bagels are only, what, a buck, on the street?)
If there's even just 4 of us in on the hotel thing, it'll come to under $50. Hopefully you can make it out, Beks! There's other young'uns coming to BWW HH as well (I should PM ebonic_singer and see if he's headed our way!)

i'm glad the hotel thing has been figured out. and *i* have to figure out when i can come! my friend is leaning towards the 9th, but she's not totally sure yet.
(the bell rings at 2EST... i'm here for 5 more minutes)
I'm heading out any minute now, but I should be back around 12:30PST. Try to come on 10/9! (What's your friend's deal? Is she just not knowing if HER friends can meet up or what? And how late can you catch the train from NY?)
Ahhh! I move today!
I know! Notice my acknowledgement in the subject title?
Oui.
Je t'aime! Seulement une autre cinq heures et demi!
And, to no one in particular, just to drop hints for my birthday wish list:

You're just a mean meanie, Tiff.
And that pendant thing from Tiffany's is just plain tacky!
Broadway Legend Joined: 11/4/04
i still love you, ellie.
I don't actually want that pendant, per se, it was just supposed to be symbolic of something from Tiffany's! What, did you think I wanted a cartoon-drawn goblet as well?
Damn...and I was going to just print out that picture of the cake and give that to you. Are you saying that won't do?!?!? Blast.
You know, for a Yaley, she's really...

Stop abusing me because you thought I was gone!
Meanie.
