big giant circles Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 once again, any people who work in retail are going to be screwed. Quote
Escariot Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Jimmy, I understand that, but like I said to Dyne, it's down to Jan 1-4, or not at all. The downside of getting a new hotel is that you can't negotiate prices too well. Also, being with the same hotel a couple times allows the negotiation of "hidden" fees such as parking, so people that had the room reserved in their names doesn't get smacked with a parking fee, especially when most everyone else that was in the room had already left.

I think that if this hotel can't work out a date that's reasonably convenient for the majority of people who would like to attend, then we should switch hotels. That's why we plan it now... so we have enough time to do so. For that matter, I don't know why we have it in places like the Hilton. I think people wouldn't mind staying in a two or three star hotel if they understood the money they'd have to spend otherwise. Quote

Find a two- or three-star hotel with the same square footage and rooming capabilities, then talk to Brendan. The problem is that those don't exist. two- and three-star hotels historically don't have ballrooms where we can set up our console room. Quote
Abadoss Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Are there no expo centers on the east coast? Quote
The Pezman Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 You'd better believe there are. It's where Otakon is held. Granted, that particular one is too big for our purposes, but there are bound to be smaller ones. Hell, we might be able to hold it in a university or something. Quote

OceansAndrew Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Enjoy. I am having Popeye's withdrawls. ;_; I had kfc last weekend and it sucked so bad. There is a single Popeye's in my state, and it's a pretty far ways off, but I might have to go there sometime. Quote

OceansAndrew Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Haha. But consider the fact that all I really have is the cafeteria. If I were you, I would be the angriest man on the planet. Maybe even angrier than the angry video game nerd. If that was even possible. My heart goes out to you, my Popeye's-less brother. Quote

We have a Popeye's around here, but I'd still rather go to Ezell's Chicken... Where whites feel even more alienated That's how you know the chicken's going to be delicious. Quote
