Okay, we've covered a lot of territory here. Perhaps the following will clarify our current situation, communicate my positions, and help arrive at a consensus:

As far a travel arrangements, John wants to fly, and I would prefer that also, I suppose, although I would share the actual driving duties if John is amenable to that. If Curt will drive Jeff to Vegas, that will be fine, but Jeff will still have to hitch a ride from Tucson to Phoenix with John, which might create some schedule conflict if John is trying to catch a flight at Sky Harbor.

As far as timing, I am completely flexible. August is best, though. Which week in August is unimportant to me, but lower rates are somewhat important. I would think Curt might prefer earlier in August, as he will no doubt have some back-to-school considerations with his girls as August progresses. John has to consider work availability. Otherwise, it's just hotel rates we are dealing with.

I agree with John that five nights is a bit much, but I agree with Jeff that three nights is not enough. Jeff's timeline:

Sunday: Meet, get settled, argue, stay up all fucking night
Monday: Sleep, circle up or goof off in p.m.
Tuesday: Circle up and/or goof off
Wednesday: Repeat until exhausted, check out following morning

...sounds good to me.

As far as accommodations, again, I don't care. Low rates somewhere on the strip. Imperial Palace was just fine by me. It was cheap, convenient, clean, and comfortable. There's a part of me that would like to try something different, and I was partial to Mandalay Bay, quite frankly, but cheap, convenient, clean, and comfortable is hard to beat. I assume we are all pretty much in agreement on this.

As far as Yahoo messenger, it would be great if we used it, especially for hammering out stuff like this. It would take a fraction of the time. And it's fun.

As far as Futures Magazine, I am sending everyone their own copy, so don't worry. I get an author rate that is lower, and I did say I would send you copies.

Yes, my days of driving to Vegas are over. I really hate that drive, not only because it's so long, but because it's so incredibly dangerous on that stretch.

I will be flying from Tucson, not Phx. If Jeff comes to visit his mom then we can fly out together from here.

I do want to stick with the last week of August unless we NEED to change that.

I would also like to stay in a new place for the variety of it, but the more I think about it the less I care. After all, we're just going to sleep there. We can look for variety by finding new hang outs for talks. Value and comfort should be the only real considerations.

Then I'll be flying from Phoenix, and I guess we'll all be taking cabs from the airport. I guess we're not out to save money after all!

Okay by me.

And convenience (close to the strip).
