Unununium Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) 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 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 Edited December 31, 2013 by Unununium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esperado Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 There's a shuttle that runs from the airport to the closest WMATA/Metro stop, which gives you a lot of options as far as getting to the Gaylord. It's the cheapest option but it takes quite a while. You're definitely best off if you can find someone to give you a ride. Anyone in the area that could grab me on the 1st? worst case though, i dont mind bussing it. I use public transit here at home and as long as i get there by the end of the day on the 1st, then im game. I chose to fly in a day early for that exact reason. Ill message you unununium about the room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to supershuttle.com and made shuttle reservations for $17 each way so I wouldn't have to worry about it for months on end. That's what most people recommended I do.

That's what most people recommended I do. That's really about the best way to do it. I've used Super shuttle a few times now and they've always done me right.

Esperado Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 i ended up planning a route using the local metro system. theres a shuttle the takes you from one of the green line stations straight to the resort, so all is well! I didnt realize there was an airport in dc as well as baltimore. Common sense i suppose, but ive never bought plane tickets before, so at least its the right state!

theshaggyfreak Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Dulles can be easy. Depending on circumstances, I can give people a ride from Dulles since it's 15 minutes from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unununium Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshaggyfreak Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Hmm....... As long as a persons flight lands early enough on Thursday, I can bring them over with me to the hotel. I'd be able to take at least two people. Three if there's not a ton of luggage. Edited December 10, 2013 by theshaggyfreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garpocalypse Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 getting really really excited for this! Just a couple of more weeks! I was planning on booking a train from syracuse to d.c. this time to help make sleep deprivation less of an issue. It looks like I'll be getting off at Union Station near the Japanese-American memorial that is 20 or so minutes from the hotel. The problem is that the cheapest reservation dumps me off in D.C. around 1am on friday morning. Probably not the best time to be there. Are cabs pretty easy to get at that time or should I be looking at a different day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Cabs in DC that late are a shot in the dark if it's not Friday and Saturday when they expect to make a ton of money off drunk people on the bar circuit, but there might be one or two around. I'd still suggest you try for a different time of day if possible though, especially since busses, the Metro, and shuttles won't be running that late.

ParahSalin' Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 The airfare is only about $50 more and you're in DC in 2-3 hours instead of 10 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if you take a cab it'll cost that much anyways so you might as well fly and take the metro to the hotel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
