The Monkey Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Nice! I'm sure that the MOTs will come rolling in. I've never listened to any Woo gear. Now I can make at least one New Year's Resolution that I'll keep. Jack and his family are also really nice. I think you'll enjoy meeting them.

screaming oranges Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I just got approved for days off starting the Monday prior to the CJ weekend all the way until Tuesday after the weekend. This uses up 6 days of my rollover days. I still have 25 days to plan for other things. I don't know how money will be this year, though. We'll see. I am definitely going to CanJam though, probably arrive on Wednesday. I will book flight/hotel sometime this weekend. Unfortunately, I cannot share the room this time around, as I will have some other non-audio friends visiting Chicago as well who want to attend. However, this hasn't been confirmed. A month prior to the event I will announce whether I have room for people to crash in or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Still don't really know. If we're still in the country then definitely, but it's right on the bubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzziguy Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Is it too late to negotiate round-trip tickets to all CanJams into the contract? Otherwise, ^^ x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 ROOM RESERVED THURS - SUN. Apparently, the group rate is sold out for Thursday night, but still available for Fri/Sat. Discount programs knocked down the price on Thursday night for me, so the difference is only ~20 bucks. I am very psyched to see the gang.

n_maher Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Room Reserved for Friday and Saturday nights. Still up for debate whether or not I'll be there, but given Dinny's news of the rate selling out it seemed prudent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Smart move, Nate. And you can cancel up until very close to the event if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Smart move, Nate. And you can cancel up until very close to the event if necessary. Yeah, I'll know more than 24hrs in advance. I guess this officially gives me a deadline for the 307A project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Tell me about it, plenty of projects to finish and I have to find a SR-007A to mod... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadneddz Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Discount programs knocked down the price on Thursday night for me, so the difference is only ~20 bucks. Does the AAA promo rate just require the AAA proof of insurance card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless1 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Been lazy and hadn't reserved a room ... until now. I'm booked! Arriving Friday, departing Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Good question. I don't know the answer. I'm assuming you just show your card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I will check into the Thursday issue. We should be nowhere near selling out unless there was a huge New Years rush on the rooms. If anyone else has/had rate issues send me a PM and I will get it straightened out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadneddz Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Thanks for looking into the issue Jim. It won't give discounted rates for anything outside of the 4th-6th. If you add a day before or after is does not even give you the HF rate for Fri/Sat, which spikes the price as you are now paying in full for all days. Perhaps this is normal, as i'm not experienced with hotel pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 ... It won't give discounted rates for anything outside of the 4th-6th. If you add a day before or after is does not even give you the HF rate for Fri/Sat, which spikes the price as you are now paying in full for all days... Nope, not normal. Something is definitely amiss as we have it in our contract that HF pricing extends three days before (Tuesday Night 6/1) and three days after (Tuesday Night 6/8) so I will be letting them know. Did anyone try calling and have problems or was this all via Da Web? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I'll be attending sans family at this point. So, I'll be looking to grab a room as well, so I'd like to see what you guys figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozebuttons Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I just booked a room for the 4-6th only rooms with King sized beds left. No doubles left at the headfi rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I imagine the hotel has it screwed up because that has happened every year one way or another. Thanks for fixing it, Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypasswordis Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 So is there any way a poor college kid can bum off one of you in regards to hotel rooms? I am very used to sleeping on floors, chairs, benches, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone try calling and have problems or was this all via Da Web? Jim, I called. But I called the central reservations number, not the actual hotel. When I mentioned the group rate the CSR told me the hotel was "sold out" of that rate on Thursday, but not Friday or Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
