You know, I was thinking .... it sounds like some of you might be interested in attending this fabulous 'little' event. We could call it PeepCarnaval. Just you and 6000 of your closests friends working yourselves up into a sweaty, dripping, frenzy.

Every year the Holiday Inn on Townlake gives us a fabulous deal, however, the Hampton Inn is also nearby (actually much closer) and I understand they have a great rate also.
If you have any questions, let me know. I kinda am involved in the event.
