Where is a good place to stay?Is hotel Pennsylvania any good, it's in my price range. Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 22:09, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Barbara (WVS): That hotel hosts Hackers on Planet Earth which is a highly wiki-friendly event. The cheapest and best options are probably with AirBNB, but if you need standard dependable lodging at a hotel then that place works. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:05, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
- Blue, can you come a little early? Since I am going to be in town for the whole day on the 30th, I want to make the most of it. Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 23:05, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Barbara (WVS): I definitely will be at the meeting venue at 6 (one hour early). I will email you... Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:46, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
