Throwing an event like GS in your own back yard has got to be so much easier than traveling halfway across the US !! Looks fun

I don't think I"ve ever been to St. Louis....
*I* was so bummed to have to back out of GS. It was just not a good economy year for the hubby and I to make it happen you know? RATS! It STILL makes me sad... anyway...

this event is gonna be a BLAST but totally unlike GlassStock I'm sure. Hopefully next year I'll get another chance to do GlassStock! I hope I hope I hope!

I think from Oregon - you just head East until you hit Minnesota then turn south... lol

I'd be looking at rooms now to reserve (you can always cancel) and get summer rates before Labor Day

Just my 2 cents worth.... can I have my change now.... lol
Two of the hotels I am looking at are closer to me - bcuz the business district at Westport usually has cheaper rates for the weekends.
I am waiting on hearing back from the hotels for group rates.
Hopefully by Monday we'll know something.

Never can start too early Super J!
Goodonya!

Cool Becky!! Thanks for working that out for us. It just makes sense... the hotel thing. Those are going to be LONG days... fun, fun, fun... but can you imagine having to drive home... 20 minutes, 30 minutes, whatever... each night ... late because you stayed for open torch... or maybe you leave early& miss out on open torch (like I did @ the Gathering, bummer) because you're wiped & know you have a drive ahead of you??? ... then getting up @ the crack of dawn to get yourself ready (& maybe take care of your kids, feed the dog, etc??) & back to Third Degree early for breakfast (which I suppose you could skip) each morning?

As far as location goes... I'd vote for the closer the better. Even if it's a little bit more $$, splitting a double queen room w/ 4 others would make it really reasonable. Mallory & I stayed about 10 miles away from the Bead & Button Show in June because I had hotel points I could use by the airport... but darn-it, it would've been really nice to be able to just walk across the street to the hotel that the majority of people were staying in... and it wasn't even about missing out on what everyone else might've been doing... but we were just so wiped by the end of the day.... & we were just shopping!!

Either way... whatever gets worked out, Becky & Libby, I'm along for the ride. This is gonna be awesome.

I think we all need to be as close to 3rd degree as possible - like 5 minutes away! Otherwise, I know I'd just drive on home.

I could sure use info on accomodations in St. Louis. Would be interested in sharing a room (female) someplace close to the factory. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Jeanne
