Hotwire is a big joke. Better off to deal with the airline co. and hotel directly.

Cheers

I look forward to trying some of Great Divide Brewing Company's brews on draft - we can only get them bottled here. Hmmmmmm

They are ok, but not nearly as good as the beer Wayne brews or some of the other local microbrews.

Great. Thanks.

I'll make my reservations. Maybe one night all of the AC guys that aren't already booked up can meet in the Great Divide.

yummy - we have a store here called Total Wine that has about 1000+ bottled brews - lots seem to come from that area - I look forward to sampling many

That'd be great - might even still be there when the exhibitors get somewhat done since the show isn't over till 6 on Friday.

Throughout the weekend, everyone does wind up going there. Its a large area....pretty central to the hotel....open air type.
The live music shows are just a few footsteps away....

I guess I happen to be one of the very few who had good experience with hotwire... if you can find me a better deal than the same deal I got for $353..then let me know

I think it really depends on your departure location....

bpape · « **Reply #54 on:** 11 Sep 2006, 03:47 am »

I checked both and it's costing me an extra $50 over hotwire - but I get the flights I want, both non-stop so 2.5 hrs instead of 7 hrs, no going through O'Hare, and both ways, I have a backup flight (nonstop) that's only an hour later in case there's mechanical issues or a flight gets cancelled.

Worth $50 to me.

C ya there.

Schweet. I'll be attempting to attend a couple of those when I'm not doing room duty.

Bryan,

Does GIK have a room at the RMAF? I don't see it listed.

bpape · « **Reply #59 on:** 12 Sep 2006, 04:07 pm »

We're providing setup and treatments for Home Audio Connection, Blue Circle, and Selah Audio. Glenn and I will both be at the show.
