Get Your Tickets For The First Annual Cougar Convention

Where: 4261 El Camino Real [map], Palo Alto, CA, United States, 94306

Of course this would have to be held at a hotel...

Attention cougars and the buff young men who love them: the First Annual Cougar Convention takes place this month at Dinah's Garden Hotel in Palo Alto, CA.

There will be booze since the hotel boasts a Trader Vic's bar, there will be women in revealing cheetah-print and lace tops, and there will be a Miss Cougar America beauty competition. If this sounds up your alley, then we recommend making reservations as soon as possible since all of this merriment goes down on August 28.

Wondering exactly what the definition of "cougar" is? Luckily for all of this, the convention is based on a book by Valerie Gibson entitled Cougar: A Guide for Older Women Dating Younger Men, in which a cougar is explained:

Breaking News: CNN Reporting Live on Bigfoot from Cabana Hotel

Where: 4290 El Camino Real [map], Palo Alto, CA, United States, 94306

Bigfoot hunters are speaking live in Palo Alto at the Crowne Plaza Cabana Hotel about their Bigfoot discovery. We just started watching and one of the guys is saying that all the disbelievers are just "jealous." Also, the Bigfoot corpse smelled "like something dead." We'll be updating. Again...let's hope the Bigfoot DNA is kept away from the kitchen.

Update: No DNA evidence was presented. That's good news for hotel guests...bad news for Bigfoot hunters trying to attain credibility.

Update, 8.21.08 Just a joke! Like, duh.

If anyone is on the scene at the Crowne Plaza Cabana Hotel let us know what's going on.

WTF Hotel News:: "Bigfoot" DNA Analysis at The Cabana Hotel

Guess what folks--people have found the elusive Bigfoot! And he's totally dead! And some guys in Georgia who found him in the woods are holding a press conference in California today to announce their discovery!

Yes, that is all true, according to Searching for Bigfoot.

The creature was found by Matthew Whitton (AKA Gary Parker) and Rick Dyer (residents of Georgia) in the woods in northern Georgia. (The exact location is being kept secret to protect the creatures.)

DNA testing was done on the body of Bigfoot, which looks like "it is part human and part ape-like." Bigfoot also walks upright. Apparently, the Bigfoot hunters spotted several more creatures on the day that they found this dead Bigfoot. (So do we call them Bigfeet?)

Ok, we can't even believe we're writing this right now. But the press conference announcing the DNA findings will be held at the Crowne Plaza Cabana Hotel in Palo Alto from noon to 1pm today. Sadly, only credentialed members of the press are allowed.

It's been a busy summer for this hotel. This is also the hotel where a case of hotel sick struck in early July. Ew...let's hope they keep the Bigfoot DNA away from the guests.

Hotel Sick Strikes Again, This Time in Palo Alto

Where: 4290 El Camino Real [map], Palo Alto, CA, United States, 94306

For at least 21 people who visited the Crowne Plaza Cabana hotel, this holiday weekend is going to be extra-special because they now have "a diarrheal illness" to keep them company.

While the exact cause of the illness has yet to be determined, the outbreak seems to have only affected people at the Cabana, so the hotel invited the Health Department over to check things out.

The San Mateo Daily News reports the Cabana is safe for public use again (even though they didn't know what was wrong in the first place) and they're making sure some changes are made:

they've put together a program for the hotel to prevent future incidents, including sanitizing walls, floors, ceilings and bathrooms, Gale said. Employees also will undergo a one- to two-hour food handling course and managers will receive training on how to recognize a contagious employee.

Uhh, we hope you mean they will be re-training employees about all this stuff.
