Woah if u guys do it in July in Seattle..I might be able to go this time.
My dad is us to europe to visit family this summer but I think I can choose
to go to the states on my own if I get a good reason to. And believe me
Smengfest II will be the reason if it is on that time..or at least there's
a high rate of possibilitty that I might go there. So well, I'll be on the
look out to see if it is during that time.

Right on! We will probably do hotel rooms. I'm going to check into cost and
I'll do an update here soon. If people are willing to share a hotel room
the cost can be split between two or 4 instead of every paying for their
own seperate room. We will get it organized as we get closer.

Sorry I have not posted the costs yet. I did the research at work and
emailed myself at home. I cannot access my home email from work (stupid
internet blocks) and my computer was down most of last week.
I'll post the info I found tonight when I get home.

Ok.. Hotel info.
The hotel has 15 rooms left at this time. I'm going to have to reserve the
rooms to insure we all have rooms near each other. They are willing to move
things around so we can insure to have rooms on the same floor, if not next
door to each other which is what I am pushing for.
They require a credit card for reservations so here is the deal.
I'm going to reserve 4 two bed rooms.
Prices are $149 a night for a two bed room. If people share rooms this will
be $149 for the weekend. I figure that putting couples in rooms with
singles will be better for clothing storage but I am definately willing to
move things around.
If you wish to come you will need to send me $149 which will be put
untouched into my savings. You have until June 30th to cancel, at which
point, your money WILL be returned to you. If you cancel after 9pm on June
30th, I will be keeping the money to pay for the room. The reason for this
is that I refuse to sit at my computer or by my phone waiting for a last
minute call hoping to catch the hotel in time before they help their hands
to my bank account for not cancelling in time.
If you wish to have a single room alone, that will be $129 a night.
The dates will be the nights of July 2nd and 3rd. Anyone wishing to show up
on the 1st should check with me. I can hold so many people in my apartment
and I am glad to do so. If we get only a few people then we can all save
money, cancel the reservations and stay at my place instead. Free of hotel
fees.
So if you plan to come, email me at eyecandyrayce @ gmail.com when you wish
to make the reservation. The weekend will include goth clubs, bondage clubs
(anyone 18+ can go), introductions to lots of the many alternative scene
people, good restraunts, walks on the beach, usual sight seeing tours and
good company. I for sure that Devin and Amanda WILL be there. Shade and
callei are definately putting things together to try and make it and others
have expressed interest.
I assure you that all money is safe with me (Devin and Amanda can attest to
my character) and this will be a fun weekend. So who is coming???
Also, I will do my best to make sure that rides from the airport to the
hotel and vice versa will be arranged if I have to have my personal friends
do so (for cost of gas out of my pocket).
I just want to see you all there. So who is coming???!!!?? Email me!
*edited to note* I forgot to mention that I found the most comfy hotel I
could for the price and they are a 3 star hotel. Really nice rooms and the
location is perfect for everything and anything we would want to do.

Due to a lack of interest, Shmengfest II is officially cancelled. Both MJ
and I have made an effort to get this going but it looks like this year
just isn't a good year for it. Maybe next year!
I know that Devin and Amanda are still coming and will be crashing at my
place. I can fit 2-3 more people if anyone is interested, no hotel cost.
Just a little get together to watch things blow up over the Puget Sound and
explore the city from top to bottom.
