Now, not to throw a screw into the works, but Denny priced Sierra Suites
in Piscataway, and it was pretty expensive. We may try the Motel 6  in
Piscataway. ($121 for two nights, as opposed to $176) The sh**hole wasn't
that one, was it?

It'd give me $50 more to spend on shiny yellow stickers and other tuning
items to be found at "the Fest"...
