Well, I think it is pretty obvious that I won’t be going to that little garden party!
Via Ed @ Hot Air:
The welcome letter instructed me to contact Qwest in order to arrange any needed voice or Internet services, and they provided a helpful link to an on-line ordering process — as well as the rates for the service. It took me nearly an hour to pick my jaw up off of the floor after reading it:
Qwest will provide high-speed Internet access via an Ethernet connection within the Convention Complex.

I think you can figure where I am going to be during the Republican Convention. 😀
Seriously, 53 grand, for internet? Oy!
