Hi everyone.  Last year, we made a block available for others to use at the Drury, for HeuMoore productions.  We didn’t expect the kind of popularity it received, but it was used by dozens and dozens of families we hadn’t even met.  So this year we did the same thing.

A few things quickly about the Drury, it’s by far one of the most gorgeous hotels in the area.  I’ve stayed in a few, including the Marriot and the Menger, but the Drury is by far my favorite.  The other thing is that this year, the festival is not exclusively in the Henry B. Gonzales.  It’s also taking place at the Municipal auditorium, which is about a half a mile from the Henry B.  Well, the Drury is within walking distance of both locations, which is especially helpful in light of the parking expenses downtown.

The Drury has fantastic meals in the morning and evening, and though I usually hate hotel breakfasts, I never missed one at the Drury.  Now they have a ‘kickback’ sort of happy hour with a lot of great food in the evening as well, scheduled conveniently to work pretty well with the Academy and festival hours.

If four guys stayed in a room together, that’s eight GOOD meals a day, included in your hotel price.  That makes the Drury, suddenly as or more affordable than most of these super cheap motels in the area.  So be sure to consider the collective benefit of a stay at the Drury.  It’s by far the best deal in the area.  My family and good portions of the Ace Wonder crew will be staying in the Drury Plaza hotel, and we invite you all to join us!  We negotiated this rate very early in the year, and it’s an exceptionally good deal.

And now the official email.
