[s-cars] //S-Fest 2006 - Hotel Info

[Donna Green]

That is some fine piece of work, Bob.

I know everyone appreciates the work, and there should be lots of
advantages from having headquarters lodging.  Next thing you know,
you'll have the follies in the conference room with catering.  :-)

The restaurant  database doesn't show anything very close.  Do you
know if they have a restaurant with the hotel or one next to it?

The wife plans to come along but not attend festivities, but probably
doesn't want to bother with a car.
