Re: Banquet

[Kathy Olson <kathy@thekrib.com>]

I don't think you are missing anything I just wrote it weird.

Yes, cost for Dallas was $99  Which was awesome!

Cost of this one...$69 plus $40 for Banquet is $109, so about 10 more.
You are right though the room is $20 more a night.  So brings the total up 
for someone staying one night to $30 more, or $50 for two nights. 

I think in Tenn, it was about $125 for Amano, including food...well
breakfast/lunch and banquest, on Sat night you were on your own.  Not sure
though.  I don't remember what the hotel was...but lets say $69, and then
transportation included a rental car to get there....so definitely more
for us.

I think Erik is doing a research project to find the costs of each 
year...anyone have an old 2001 convention reg form handy??  
then he will post it all.
