Escariot Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Does anyone know what the parking situation is at the hotel? I know that they offer $9/day (or $14/day event) guest parking, but does anyone know how liable it is to fill up?I'll be driving in each day, and after taking a look at the area, there's not much available there besides parking at the hotel (I didn't see any garages or anything else nearby 'sides the apartments across the street). KF Parking is $1/day... MAG-rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizyr Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Parking is $1/day... MAG-rate As I understand it, the MAG-rate only applies to people who are rooming at the hotel, not to guests. Since I'll be driving in each day, I don't think I'll get the MAG-rate. In any case, I'm not concerned about the cost of parking, only the availability. I've had problems with cons before (notably Katsucon) where parking was entirely impossible anywhere within walking distance--but that was metro-accessible, while MAGfest isn't. So, yeah, does anyone know about how liable the Hilton garage is to fill up during this? Did this happen at M6 or before? KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KF I drove a bunch of us from the hotel to many eating places around the area... Never had a parking issue last year. Pretty much the only people that are there during the time of MAGFest are... MAGFest attendees. Not too many people are going to be there past New Years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the only people that are there during the time of MAGFest are... MAGFest attendees. Not too many people are going to be there past New Years. Great! That's what I was hoping to hear. And yeah, it does make sense that not many people are going to be there right after New Years besides MAGFesters. (Is there an agreed-upon term for MAGFest attendees?) zircon, José, and myself will be there! :3 I'll keep an eye out for you folks! I haven't really had any luck convincing any of my friends in the area to go, considering the time of year, so I'll probably not know many people there ahead of time outside of a few OCRers. Given the comments, though, I don't think there'll be any shortage of things to do or folks to meet. KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealFolkBlues Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Unhappy bump. Unfortunately, the fates (or their agents in the finances of my life) have aligned that MAGFest is virtually impossible for me and mine this year. /drama You might remember my friend Josh (big guy, big beard) from M5, who was also going to come, and I was going to drag my girlfriend along as well. Pretty much, none of us can pick up any of the other's slack here, so we're not going to make it. We're fairly bummed about it, since it's a trip we anticipate all year, but such is life. Here's hoping the rest of you guys have an awesome time and rep OCR awesomely like I know you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 bummer Jon. I'm not totally committed to going (I'd like to) but I'm still unsure if it'll happen. If it does, I'll miss the trek up with you man. We've had some good times so far. If I do make it, I promise to smack myself in the head with a Rock Band mic in your honor.

RealFolkBlues Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Yeah it sucks Jimmy, but whatcha gonna do. Is there going to be a conflict with the family trip this year for you? Anyways, if you don't show off some slick moves on the Rock Band mic, I hope someone does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pezman Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Man, this MAGFest seems doomed for a lot of people. Myself, I can only make half, but dammit, it's going to be the best half-MAG ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizyr Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 So... has anything been sorted out with New Years Eve yet? I haven't heard anything about it, but I might just be looking in the wrong place. KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard anything about it, but I might just be looking in the wrong place. KF New Year's Eve is our JamSpace concert. We have a few groups lined up to perform, as well as some sort of countdown thing to New Years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
