Hello again CASLLers, I've booked a room at the Blackstone Hotel, which is apparently 4 or 5 blocks from the Palmer House, for the nights of March 31 and April 1,2,3. The room will cost $89 -- whether I'm alone or sharing with somebody else. So for two people, it would be $45 a night each. There are two double beds in the room. If you're interested or know someone who is, please let me know. Graham
