I know it is early to be thinking about 2012, but I have a few statements.

1) Due to issues we have had at the hotel this year (SPACE and ROOMS) we are looking once again at a move to Charlotte. I know some do not want us to move and others are begging for it. We are 99% done on this deal. I just have to finalize the contract and it will be a go. (unless of course the hotel begs me to stay and gives me lots of cash)

2) With the move, we will still have the Grinning Goblin supplying food and drinks. Does this work for everyone? In Charlotte, the regular food supply is closer, but we will work with local vendors to get you sandwiches, pizza, snacks and drinks at the usual GG price. Do you think you will still use the GG for your food needs? Is it more important to have it fairly quick and convenient than a few minutes walk away from the hotel?

3) The rates for the sleeping rooms will go up. But when you add in the cost of the room plus parking at the BW, the Hilton is only a few dollars more since it has free parking. (prices based on current room rates and parking costs)

Let me know how you guys feel about this.

Thanks,

Jeff
