The micro-brew bar does have my attention, but the hotel already claims to be fully booked regardless of rate. What are the best alternatives? Any others to be recommended within a long walk (or stumble), or are we stuck driving? On Mon, 13 Oct 1997 at 14:29 MST, Rodney Joffe <rjoffe@genuity.net> wrote:
At Bill Norton's suggestion, here's a quick summary of facilities for the Phoenix NANOG:
Besides the normal terminal room, we're also deploying 10 BT ethernet hubs (300+ ports) and power receptacles accessable from all seats in the main room. So, bring your laptops (and help us out by bringing ethernet cables if you can). We'll be using DHCP, but will have a few fixed IP addresses available if you must. There will be tables around the entire room for those of you who want to use them (obviously first come etc...). Steve Stuart from DEC has also offered (thanks Steve) to bring his Roam-about wireless stuff, so you can make use of that if he has cards available, or bring your own card and use the network. We're not sure if the roam-about will reach all of the hotel rooms (it is spread out like a resort) so we can't promise.
Talking about the hotel, here is some non-technical info:
Some of the reasons we picked the hotel:
It has a well known micro-brew bar. Cigar room. Fancy coffees. 24 hour room service.
Weather at this time is great - high season. The hotel has a really nice swimming pool. Temperatures will be 80s during the day, 50s at night. If you're coming out earlier, Phoenix has great local hiking and climbing, golf, etc.
See y'all on the 27th.
