The Marriott is ok, but a little old, and stay away from the Embassy Suites

Do you have anything to say about that Hyatt Place which I have booked?

thanks! Got the HGI for $79 refundable and with free breakfast this is probably a pretty decent deal.

I hope Sweet Willie does come. I gotta show him a certain All You Can Eat Chinese buffet near Gateway West Blvd that is somewhat better than the one on Touhy Ave next to a bank. 
Platbrownguy: There are some good BBQ places in El Paso that serve good brisket that I can show you.
As for lodging, I still have my house near ELP, so I can crash there.
p.s. put me down + a few more. I have a lot of friends in El Paso.

Just let me know how many, need to have a head count for the food and drinks
200, not quite that many, but we can accommodate quite a few, an in October we should have good enough weather to have it outside in the evening

We'll be there, likely arriving by TDI Beetle on the 26th. I'm sure I'll be ready for a nap by the time we finally reach The Mansion™.
By my count this should be ELP VII, so there's some catching up to do.
And Cholula STILL hasn't shown us where the bodies are.
Wasn't Canarsie's picture enough. Do we really have to watch the real thing?
