ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME?!

The host hotels are already accepting Dragon*Con 2011 con-rate reservations.

I randomly caught a comment mentioning rooms were open, and so I tried booking via the Honors website. It had some weird error, so I called. I started booking my regular two doubles room at the con rate and was told only 9 remained. Only 9. Are you kidding me?! I asked to go ahead and book a second room that would check out on Monday instead of Tuesday. OKAY.

So that is the word. Rooms are booking up already.
I went ahead and snagged 2 rooms so I can be closer to people (same floor at least) one that I'll stay in until Tuesday, and one that will check out on Monday night for people that just want to stay at the con.

Considering I've got 2 booked (and the deposits are non-refundable this year) I'll go ahead and take people signing up for room spaces.
- I will have 4 double beds in 2 hotel rooms.
- Stay availability is starting from Sept 1st with check out on the 5th (Monday).
- The cost for those 4 nights will be evenly split among everyone that stays regardless if you're in for 4 nights or 3.
- Payment in full will be due August 30th, 2011.
- One room will be open for storage all-day Monday as I am staying a 5th night, but that cost will be just me, as per the norm.
Comment away.

Jesus Christ. It just gets exponentially more hectic every year. This year the fire marshals shut down the Marriott lobby and the elevators. Next year they're just gonna shut down Atlanta.

Don't be absurd. They'll only shut down downtown Atlanta next year. I give it at least until 2012 before we black out the entire city.

That is crazy! The DCTV bumper is coming true.

At any rate, sign me up for a room.

I am not making a Hobo-Punk dirigible. It comes to that, no Dragon*Con.

HOBOPUNK!

Well crap, I'm tempted to say sign me up for a room (as I've never been) but that's asking me to know if I can afford the trip a year in advance and I really can't make that promise. O_o

There's a good chance if you change your mind late in the game, I can squeeze you in. You're just one person, and not a heavy-duty costumer. It wouldn't be a big deal to add you later if it works out. Honestly, I've never booked two rooms before, so I worry if I'll be able to fill them with people I already know, or if I'll have to add strangers.

Good to know.

I'm in again if you'll have me. and we should totally make a dirigible.

[identity profile] eveshka.livejournal.com 2010-09-14 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Booking was open on 2 September when we checked in.

*headdesk*
Fer cripes sakes. I assume you've already booked then?

[identity profile] eveshka.livejournal.com 2010-09-14 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup. All booked, though not Executive this year, alas. :(

OOOOOH OOOOH let me hit Isaac in the stomach again

I'm gonna have to start sleeping in hobopunk armor...

(Yes that means cardboard and old newspapers)

[identity profile] fastbilly1.livejournal.com 2010-09-15 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I will sleep with Hobopunk brass knuckles then - aka toilet paper tubes cut to size.

[identity profile] pyro-ike.livejournal.com 2010-09-15 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Count me in! I'll have the full payment beforehand next time- sorry for the lag on that this year.

Year after next we'll have the dirigible, and tie it off at someone's balcony at the Hyatt. :P

You can put Josh (ramgarden@gmail.com) and I down for one of the beds. We are definitely going and planning better...

[identity profile] elfgrove.livejournal.com 2010-12-06 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I can put you down for two spaces, but we've got to work out the sleeping arrangements. I can't promise you a bed yet. I'm going to work up an email about this.

[identity profile] lias.livejournal.com 2010-09-15 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll take a spot if you've got space. I'm definately in for next year, but chances are it's just me (from Florida), so I need roomies.
