  1. There's been some upheaval with my room, had somebody drop. So now there's at least one open slot most nights. The current status is here, and I will endeavor to keep that post up-to-date. The per-night cost will be in the low $30s, as low as $28, depending on how many additional people sign up.

    If anyone needs a place to crash, please let me know. If you're thinking you'd like to stay for several nights but can't because my room will be full on just one of those nights, contact me anyway, and I might bend the six-person limit for just one day. That certainly beats forcing people to stay in different rooms different nights.

    Also, if anyone (other than Bahamut) has booked a room for anything other than $171.60 a night, let me know. I may have made a mistake when calculating the taxes and fees since they're not clearly spelled out.

  2. Dulles can be easy.
    Dulles can be pretty rough too.

    Dulles International Airport. When traveling to the land of vampires, why not depart from Hell on Earth?

    Actually one time I got stuck at Dulles overnight. It was a terrible thing, and I wound up being forced to buy new tickets just to get home. Interesting part was that Dulles wasn't even on my original itinerary! I was supposed to go to Dallas, but that flight got canceled "due to wx" (actually due to equipment failure, but with weather they don't have to reimburse), and a two-faced bitch working for United shoved me and my coworker onto a flight to Dulles, promising us hotel and a flight in the morning. No boarding pass, no record of us flying at all, we were essentially stowaways, and when we landed, we got nothing. Night manager asked us how we even got there. We didn't let him go home to his family until he gave us hotel vouchers. And as I already said, we had to buy new tickets to get home.

    Protip: don't fly United

  3. Now figure out which of the bumper stickers I licked.

    I can't tell just by looking, so I'm going to have to kiss all of them. :-P

    When I get home, of course. This box of joy arrived just as I was about to leave for an out-of-state business trip that will last for at least a week. I postponed my departure to photograph the box and post it here and on Facebook, since I felt it was very important to taunt everyone^H^H^H^H^H share this with you.

    Actually, I'm very thankful to have the bumper stickers, since I needed a new one. I had one on my truck that djpretzel gave me at SGC2009, but someone smashed into me on TX 360, wrecking the sticker! And the bumper and the tailgate and part of the bed and the side of the truck... :puppyeyes: It's all fixed now, and with the application of a new sticker, my truck will once again be whole!

  4. Here's the space available in my room at the Gaylord in the OC ReMix block:

    1 Wednesday: 2 open, 4 occupied

    2 Thursday_: 1 open, 5 occupied

    3 Friday___: 0 open, 6 occupied

    4 Saturday_: 0 open, 6 occupied

    5 Sunday___: 2 open, 4 occupied

    The soft limit is six people per night. Everybody in the room on a given night has to agree to add more people before I will allow it.

    One of the two queen beds is claimed for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday by a couple that will need to get good sleep. Please be respectful.

    In the same vein, alcohol consumption in the room is very strongly discouraged, as it will interfere with the ability of others to sleep. On second thought, I've decided to forbid it outright. Go enjoy yourself in the other OCR rooms if you need to drink, but don't bring that stuff in the room. If you have an issue with this, contact me privately. If you cannot follow this rule, you will have to leave.

    The total cost for the room is $171.60 per night * 5 nights = $858. Divide that by 25 slots occupied to get $34.32, which I'm calling $34 per person per night. If any more slots get filled between now and MAGFest, that cost will drop for everyone. Please invite your friends!

    If you're feeling generous, I'd appreciate it if you tossed in an extra dollar to overcome the $8 deficit I'd otherwise have to eat.

    The first names of the people who are staying are:

    Andy, Joe, Amanda, Cody, Mike, Cheryl, Rondell, Jesse, Tina, Anthony, Jon

    If you don't see your name on this list but thought you were staying with me, I apologize, and let me know soonest that I forgot you!

    UPDATE 9 Dec 2013: Added Tina

    UPDATE 15 Dec 2013: Added Anthony

    UPDATE 15 Dec 2013: Removed Matt, tentatively replaced with more Anthony

    UPDATE 15 Dec 2013: Slightly less Anthony :(

    UPDATE 17 Dec 2013: Removed Madeline

    UPDATE 17 Dec 2013: Added Yulia :razz:

    UPDATE 17 Dec 2013: Added Jon

    UPDATE 29 Dec 2013: Removed Yulia

    UPDATE 30 Dec 2013: Added Bobby, strengthened alcohol rule

    UPDATE 30 Dec 2013: Added Adrienne

    UPDATE 31 Dec 2013: Removed Bobby and Adrienne

  5. Does anyone still have room to spare in one of their rooms? I'd probably come in mid-day Thursday, 1/2 and be leaving Sunday morning 1/5. A bed would be nice, if available :)

    If you don't mind sharing a room with five others, I have space those days. Everyone else has already indicated they're cool so long as they have a spot to sleep, and most have said they don't require a bed. (There will be two beds in my room.) Let me know if you're still interested, then I'll ask the rest if they're alright with having one more.

    If you were to join us, the nightly headcounts would be:

    Wed, 1 Jan: 3 people

    Thu, 2 Jan: 6 people

    Fri, 3 Jan: 5 people

    Sat, 4 Jan: 6 people

    Sun, 5 Jan: 5 people

    Anyone need space on the first?

    Also, the cost will be $34 per person per night unless more join. I'm not sure I want more than six a night though...
