Finally back and caught up, and now must hurry and write the notes - trying not to have this turn into a REALLY late night. I'll write about everything in the notes.
To answer the question about Roy Arias, yes, at the time we booked, it was the least expensive. However, when we saw the disgusting room they put us in, we ended up having to go to a bigger room and that cost another twelve bucks, which meant we could have gone anywhere. We know better now - they are ridiculous and they're not getting their final payment until they come into the room and publicly apologize to my company and stage manager.
