Go ahead and move me to confirmed, I haven't booked my flights yet, but I want to get into a spot at the Friday night dinner. I don't think there would be a reason I don't come, unless airfares shoot up even more before I have a chance to book.

I'm also interested.

I got married at the 21c In Durham so I obviously endorse this hotel.

No Banana baseball for me. It's sold out, not even a waitlist any more. Enjoy those of you who are going! Should be a blast.

Tickets were made available to the Lucky Lottery Bunch this morning, and
May 4, May 5, and May 6 have SOLD OUT!
Unfortunately, no tickets are remaining for those on Standby, or on the Wait List.

Might not count as a recommendation but we are staying at the Hotel Phillips Kansas City, Curio Collection by Hilton.

Psst. I don't see myself on the confirmed list yet!

For anyone who doesn't have breakfast at their hotel, Town Topic Hamburgers is an institution and the breakfast food is good, cheap, and very well portioned! It's a local chain that has an old timey diner feel.
