Sounds great. I'll have to be careful then, I expect Dan will be looking around for you to get his HF-2 reterminated.

I wouldn't worry about that as much as something trying to get one of swt61's signature "reterminations" installed

The Princess of Kansas certainly has something to say about that. Perhaps used makes a difference with those.

Room update straight from the hotel sales manager:

"We ran out of rooms in your block on the 3rd, which we had more put into today. Otherwise there are guest rooms for the 4th and 5th."

The "otherwise" confuses me. Are they saying they added more rooms for the 3rd? All I know is I'm not sharing. I learned my lesson in Florida.

Jim will confirm but she was responding to why they originally could not get a room for the 3rd. But I believe they have added more rooms on the 3rd for us. "Otherwise", the 4th and 5th is also available is how I take it.

Yes we had unused rooms for the 4th and 5th but all the rooms for the third (don't ask me why there were fewer rooms allocated on the 3rd) were reserved and extra rooms had to be added. I stopped trying to understand how they allocate rooms over the discount period after the 3675th email.

I will almost certainly take you up on that, Scott. I would like to get in Thursday night, but no idea how likely that is considering the new job. Otherwise I will be there friday night-sunday night, barring unforeseen calamity.

New job?

I stopped trying to understand how they allocate rooms over the discount period after the 3675th email.

I'm sure it's something like "how few can we offer at the discount to maximize the number we can sell at full price".

Si correcto

New job?

Indeed, new job in NYC. I start on or around 5/17.

Maybe we should get a hc room in a nearby hotel. A little escape......?

Personally, I like all being in the same hotel. I like knowing where you folks are at all times.

I was using google maps to check out the dining options nearby (i.e. within walking distance) and they all seem to be a bit "expense account airport hotel restaurant"

As for a little escape, is the W xyz bar trendy enough for you at the the local Aloft ? (think of a W airport hotel)

Question - do MOTs who are attending but not displaying pay the standard member rate?

No, dammit, I'm not becoming an MOT.

I find this to be a great question, and one I hadn't thought of. I will not be displaying any items. And in fact wouldn't mind losing MOT status over there at all.

I'll bring up your name with Jude and see about getting it removed.

MOTS are members first and as long as they abide by the member rules (i.e. no business conducted) they can certainly register as members only. I have so decreed.

Well I finally confirmed I can have time off of work for Thursday-Monday.

Great news roomy!

We knew you would be passed out in those bushes in front of the Florida hotel for quite awhile that Friday night. I felt better because of that.

Great news roomy!

Unfortunately the hotel still hasn't given in to my request for a stripper pole to be installed in the room.

Steve will do that

Sweeeeeeet.

So who is providing the strippers? And may I come over?
