Darn that Beach place anyway. I was thinking I had it all sewn up with staying at the Somerset House across the street. That way - too many drinks - still can find my way home! Now I'll have to wander a bit before finding my home away from home.
We've used convention center rooms after hours in past years for meetings, but nothing where we've brought food in. The convention center is very difficult to deal with in regards to doing anything out of the ordinary or using it after hours. Too many times you get locked in or out of the center, which is a big pain when you have to walk all the way around to find someone to open a door.
Since so many people from the awards industry are staying at the Hilton, I don't see why the Hilton would not be open to providing one of their smaller meeting rooms that would hold about 100 people. There shouldn't be much of a cost if they provide the food for a small fee.
I thought that was a good thought too about finding out who is taking over the Beach and do the new owners what to have us there? Is the Beach closing with no reopening, or is it reopening under a different name?
How dead is that place after December David? Is it completely gone and don't bother with it, or is there a possibility of still being there but under new management?
