Withdrawing Vegas bid. Sadface.

[Robyn Bergeron]

Just a note to everyone that I need to withdraw the Vegas bid.

While all the other costs seem reasonable, the costs for actually doing 
things within the Vegas hotels is just prohibitive.  Nearly all hotels 
there utilize outside vendors for meeting space equipment - including 
power, projectors and screens, wireless, etc.  The costs, as far as I 
have discovered thus far, are not negotiable.  And it means costs for 
things like projector screen rental are in the 500-600 range, per day, 
per ROOM, and when you add in wireless, etc. - it just makes for 
something that is way too hard to swing.

Sorry. Perhaps I'll win the lottery and it can happen next year. :)

Nah, if you win the lottery we need to hold it in NYC. I think there's
lots of great stuff here that folks could really enjoy without
spending^Wwasting all their money gambling :D

$0.02

I think i might actually go for having it on a cruiseship. Then the 
shirts could say, "FUDCon: I'm on a boat!"

And we could have Fedora flippie floppies.

Or if it were to take place on a cruise ship, the shirts could say
"We're going to need a bigger boat."
