All, I've read Swag's GREAT web site for a hotel, and have a backup at the Days Inn on Canal St. for the second weekend (4/28 thru Mon. 5/2) ... but I'm looking to try to get a hotel on priceline. I bid $80 today, but the offer wasn't accepted. Anyway, would it help to bid $100 or I'm I still too early for rooms that will be released. Any help wud b appreciated. And thanks again for all your help Swag and others, I've learned so much already for this year and I've been to the festival 4 times before this. Just trying to get better/less for more during the whole shabang. Thanks again.
