I like this festival date! In all of the years past, the second-third week of September = 1st test date for just about every single one of my classes in college, so the later date helps me to avoid trying to study so hard in the between the show. It might also be cooler outside, too, by that time!

I just booked my room at the Super 8. I know it is a low rate place but considering how much time I am actually going to spend in the room $69.00 a night was good for me. I stayed there this year and it was cool..Met cool people (3rd floor rocked), plus you get a microwave and refrig to store beer and vodka and late night food. lol...

I booked at the Marriott Midtown for $125.00(this price was with AAA discount) a night. Not too bad.

I just booked at the Marriott Midtown on 14th for $139 a night. After the Grenada screwed me over last year cancelling my room, I stayed at the Sheraton on 14th but they are already full. At least the Marriott is $20 cheaper a night than the Sheraton. And the walk isnt too bad, about a half mile.

Not really, and it's within distance from Marta (which I highly suggest you take). I work in the area, and the traffic does suck, but if you choose to drive, I can give you shortcuts if you need them.
Does everybody book their hotel rooms in walking distance? Just curious if its the availability of that area. I guess I have gotten spoiled of living 30 minutes from the venue. Maybe it would be cheaper to stay further away like the next county over and take a cab each night. Just a suggestion I guess.

*screeeeeeeeee* you asked for feedback
yeah that price is a tad more acceptable than what we booked at the RI for. 189 a nite for a suite. It's rape I tell ya....they know we love the place so they figure they can bend us over and not even use lube, or give a courtesy reach around.

I do, because I have to be up and running by 10A and I'm usually out till around 2AM. And I don't have time to run back to my house (15 minutes from the venue) if I forget something. Plus, it means I can party instead of being home to rest.

I know.. the two ProgPowers I have been to have been around my Birthday (Sept. 17th). It was great for PP VI when I saw Stratovarius on my birthday! Woot!
But, all things considered, Glen did the right thing.. hotel rooms are VERY hard to come by these days. The most advanced notice is very much appreciated.
I called SkiBumMSP today, told him we need to make the reservations NOW!

Well this bites..
The Super Duper 8 doesn't take reservations this far in advance.
The Residence Inn is $179 a night for a King bed (what about two doubles or two queens??!!??)
The BW Granada is cheaper, but again for a King bed. $107 on Thursday, $125 Fri & Sat.
I so wish that the Hampton was still there... damn it to hell!
