We should have invited you all down to the Hampton, it's actually pretty nice there. I thought the Residence has a pool? I guess not. Maybe we will stay at The Hampton Inn again next year. It's a little further then the Residence and Granada (about a half mile from Earthlink), but you seem to get a little more for your $$$. We paid $89 a night plus tax. Not to bad. I don't think any of the bands stay there though. Not quite as much partying either, but I'm not really sure because I crashed early every night. The staff seemed cool as well. The free parking is nice for us because we drive up. Anybody interested in trying to get a block of rooms for next year. We won't know the date of the show until spring, but it's never to early to start planning.
