out-of-towners: to anyone who wants to be right downtown, consider the park avenue, near the fox. it is _not_ luxurious - more like a hostel, but cheap.
also, a best western just opened downtown - i can't imagine they would be $110. the town hotel/apartments advertises rooms from $79 and they are right downtown. also check the ramada and the milner. the shorecrest is just east of downtown. once again, not the greatest place in the world, but within walking distance of hart plaza, which is probably your priority. also, does anyone know if the festival is still free? i have heard rumblings that it is not anymore. . . thx kbk ----- Original Message ----- From: detroit science <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2000 1:20 PM Subject: Re: (313) det elec fest/313-list event > hiya, shannon & list - > > the st. regis isn't downtown proper, but i can get you in there at $69 usd > room & tax per night. i also work with the atheneum in greektown, but for > that weekend i don't think that they'll give me any break on the rates. the > st. regis is about 10 minutes taxi ride north of hart plaza (where the fest > is) so it's not bad. let me know, i just checked with the st. regis and > they said that at this point they weren't in a sold-out and that they should > be able to hold that rate for me. > > take care, > linda g > > mailing list http://www.onelist.com/community/detroitscience > science office 313-534-7420 > science fax 313-534-5155 > mobile 313-790-7300 > pager 800-200-5176 > > >From: "shannon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: "detroit science" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: Re: (313) det elec fest/313-list event > >Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2000 07:05:59 -0500 > > > >From: "detroit science" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > > any other questions about it that i can try to sort out for people? > > > >at this point i'm just looking for suggestions about where to stay. we > >were > >hoping for somewhere downtown proper, but everyone's rates seem > >prohibitively high. best quote we've been able to get for the little > >marriot (not renaissance center proper) was about $110 a night. that's > >icky. > > > >thx. > > > >shannon > > > >____________________________________ > >by collapsing concept into matter, & the mental > >into the material, the rekkid [sic] functions in > >2 parallel systems: as a concept visualized on > >vinyl & as punishing frequencies, orchestrally > >arranged Techno, sepulchral & frosted, a > >Rhythmachine of planetary information. > > > > --kodwo eshun > > "synthetic fiction/electronic thought" > > _more brilliant than the sun: > > adventures in sonic fiction_ > > > > > > ______________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
