For the people coming in from out of town and spending the night in Alameda, I was wondering where you folks are planning on staying for that night? The reason I ask is, if enough people stay at the same location, then we could easily plan some after party shenannigans.

Last year, Conga Mike and Denise rented the "Honeymoon Suite" at the Days Inn on Webster St. The place is a little dicey at best, but we had a lot of fun, plus the honeymoon suite came equiped with a wet bar! I can't whole-heartedly recommend the Days Inn, but there are a couple of other nicer places to spend the night, including the Coral Reef, and the Marina Village Inn. From what I've seen and heard from others, these are fairly nice places to stay (but they're not the Ritz Carlton).

The Marina Village Inn is at the Northern part of the Island, not too far from Forbidden Island, the rooms are nice and clean standard sized motel rooms, and some of the rooms actually overlook the marina and the bay. The Coral Reef is on the southern part of the island, on Park St. at Southshore Beach, across the street from Southshore Shopping Center, and the Sushi House, and next door to a bowling alley. The rooms are a little older, but they are larger suite types (around 500 to 600 sq ft) with a full kitchen. I'm thinking that maybe the Coral Reef would be a little more conducive to an after party because of the full kitchen?

Anyways, those are my suggestions. Anyone else have any other accomodation recommendations? El Jabbo?

So where is everyone going to stay? Shall we start organizing a NYE after party?
