That means we will have THREE late jams at the hotel. I blew a lung before the end of the second jam last year. I'll have to pace myself. |

Location: Bluffton, SC | Al, do we talk to you about the rooms? I'd like one with a view, preferably not of the highway, I'd prefer not too be too close to the "noisy ones" (and you know who I mean) and I have this little allergy thing that...well, just call me when you have a minute, k?
(And I can already tell that's going to rate all 10 fingers but meant to be read individually just the same) |

Location: south east Michigan | I just ran the numbers for the room rate using my AAA discount....$241.50 per night.(not including tax)....the OFC price of $109.00 is not to shabby.
BTW...those New England guys really know how to tax a motel room. It's about 10%. |

| I'm so glad there's a fitness room and a laundry.
And real happy that there doesn't appear to be a bar. |

| And I don't need directions from Kent, just Heathrow. I can find my way to the airport. |

They may not have a bar but there will be plenty of liquid "refreshments" available. As far as fitness goes...you'll definitely get a "workout." But you're on your own with the laundry thing...... |

Location: Bluffton, SC | Soooo...is the consensus to hang out for Saturday night as well? Or will the general population be leaving Saturday afternoon? Are there plans for Sunday or just a fun breakfast wrap up/group hug type of deal?
Inquiring minds want to know... |

Location: south east Michigan | Waskel...How many were at the Saturday night jam??? Last year I needed to get home for Fathers Day but that won't be a problem this year. As long as I can get my traveling partner(s) to stay I think it would be fun to extend it another night. If all else fails we can find an open mic night somewhere to invade. |

Location: closely held secret | Sorry, Brad. You'll have to ask someone who knew about it, and didn't have a Saturday morning flight last year.
I know Cliff was there, and I think Bobbo was. |
