For once, I am free on this particular Saturday.
So I would be up for going?
Who else is going?

I'm going to assume I can come. If I can't it would be on short notice because of assignments coming down on me.

Can I borrow the peasant padme costume again, Laurie? (and will you be there to do my hair? ;p) I'd rather borrow the Leia one, but I don't think it'd be long enough on me, plus I don't have enough hair for that yet.

Hey Leigh,
If you want to give the Leia costume a try, I can bring it over to your place this week. If it fits ok, we could try the hair as well. If not, Peasant Padme is yours as usual.
Eryn and I expect to be going (so I can do your hair) as long as there is transportation. With John working, there are few vehicles. Not sure what I'll be driving by the 15th. (I hope it's another van..the lease on the one I have now, is up tomorrow) Whatever I get, I'm willing to use it for the trip, but I'd like someone else to drive it.

My fugly van's not up to long trips, or I'd offer to drive. I want to get a car loan this summer and buy a used beetle grin

For this parade I'll just stick with the padme costume. It's warmer wink Maybe I'll try on the Leia costume another time. I think it rules wink

Just to let you know...

I PM Vicky to ask about the possibility of staying over Friday night.

I'll let you know that I find out.

How many would be willing to flip for a hotel room for one night? We should be able to find a hotel for cheap.

I'm willing to do that, that is unless anyone has a place for me to stay.

I found one hotel as an example...

Red Roof Inns
6614 North Thompson Road, Syracuse, NY 13206 4.3 Miles Northeast of Syracuse

$38.99 Special internet rate!!! 2 Full beds,19" tv,table & 2 chairs,ns

$38.99/2 per room = $19.50US

19.50 * 8% tax = $21.06US

US to CAN funds:
$21.06US = $31.01CAN

If there's 2 full beds...can't we have more than 2 people per room, thereby reducing the cost? Usually, the limit is 6 per room. I don't even care if I have to sleep on the floor if it's cheaper, cuz I don't think I can afford over $60 (Eryn + me) for a room...there will be food costs as well.

Same situation for me, why don't we have more that 2 people? I'm fully willing to just have a sleeping bag on the floor if it will save me money.

It was only an example. You can have as many as you want per room (assuming the limit is 6).

All I did was take the cost and divide by beds.

Personally I would prefer my own room. Not to be anti-social, but if I don't sleep I'm a monster in the morning.

OK...I checked a few things at Red Roof Inn on North Thompson Rd.

First, under 18 years old stay free when accompanied by adults. If Chris has his own room...that leaves 3 legal "adults"... Leigh, Tim and myself.

Also...there is a reduced room rate going on right now until March 16!!

So, the price for 3 adults in the room at the reduced price deal before March 16th comes to:
$43.99 US + tax = $47.51 US = $71.27 CDN (for 2 double beds) or
$47.99 US + tax = $51.83 US = $77.74 CDN (for 2 kingsize beds)

If we divide this by 6 per room, each person will pay $11.88 CDN (double) or $12.96 CDN (king)

I'm just not sure about maximum occupancy. I believe it is 6, and we have 8 people interested in going. I will call to confirm maximum occupancy. Chris...do you think you can put up with one quiet person?? silly


*Woohoo!! Complimentary freshly brewed coffee!! grin
