    i tried to book a block of rooms at the Hampton... didn't work (it's buried in this thread somewhere, i already re-wrote this once and then the msg didn't post...damnit).

    HI express is a good hotel and has a good rate (127/night i think). it's the "farthest" away of the "close" hotels. I have posted this before, please don't walk there alone after about 12 or 1 am. just go with someone else or a group is best. not trying to be an alarmist, just trying to be practical (i have some stories... involving myself, one just down the street, and another in a little bit different area). any native albany folks can refute this and tell me i'm a wuss... fine with me.

    you can go for a group rate if you want... i tried but the response at that time wasn't that great, only 4 people replied and PM'd me (I don't even need a hotel, i live here, i was just trying to help) I suggest something 5-10 minutes drive, and then people carpool... you can get good hotels that far away for $70/night. i don't know if priceline will get you anything in albany.

    I went to Hartford and loved the concert. The only downside was being in front of a bunch of people complaining about how they had ten club seats and were so far up. (I was just happy to be there and so was the couple next to me.) The people behind me looked like a group of older (late 40's; Not Old just older then me) who had just bought the membership for the club seats.

    the city of toronto will not be disappointed. i look damn fine in a speedo. and just for you j-money, i might bust it out in Albany for the EV shows. (so long as i'm wearing the proper "top layers", which are usually used for snow skiing in Alaska, no one will get hurt, including myself.).
