DavCon ---- Need your opinions...

So I finally got ahold of Rhonda at the Steeplegate today. She said that they would "love" to have us back.
BUT -
They renovated all the rooms and the room rates will be $89.00 a night now - and that's discounted from 99 - 109 ...
Too steep for DavCon??
We could always share rooms and cut the expense I guess..
Also she said they this year they are going to have to insist on closing the atrium at 11 pm.
Should I find another hotel ?
I don't think another hotel is going to let us bring our own alcohol, and I know the hotels there - none have an atrium like they do. No where to just hang out like that.
Anyhow - I told her to go ahead and pencil us down for the last week in January - and she did. I can always cancel.
But DavCon MUST go on........ whether it's at the Steeplegate or elsewhere.
Need your opinions........
woobs
PS - it takes me about 1/2 an hour to post on this website. I dont know why this website and NO OTHER website takes me so long - but this is why I havent posted in a while. I'm still here - just dont post too much because it takes way too long.
I tried Netscape and Firefox and IE - no difference. Is the site just slow or is it me? I have a satellite connection, and this is the only site i have problems with. I cant even GET to my messages......
if anyone wants to talk to me - please email me - it's faster..

anyhow - LOVE You GUYS

While I doubt you'd find any hotel that would be better, it wouldn't hurt to ask around.
$89.00 a night is cool with me.

Ask arond and see if another one will allow us to use their atrium or at least a couple of hospitaltality rooms for the night. 11 pm is to early to go to bed. just my two cents...

Well that stinks, what a bummer. I thought that Steeplegate was perfect for what we needed and $89 isn't that bad. But I agree, 11pm is pretty early to shut 'er down....'specially this crowd. Can we get that hopsitality room again? That wouldn't be too bad if we could retreat there after 11.
It's OK with me if you want to try somewhere else but I doubt there's very many atriums to pick from in a town that size.

I can live with the price increase, and I don't usuallly stay up real late, so I would be good with it. Especially if we had a suite to go to after. Of course, there is nothing to keep us from taking over the bar. What ever is decided, I'm good with. It will go on!

The price of the rooms is fine with me, and we could take over the bar, but maybe we could all chip in for the hospitality suite. Or, maybe if a certain amount of people register, they will throw it in for free.
Looking forward to January.

NOT SURE if this will help but we go to this 'Econo Lodge' hotel outside of our town for birthday bashes or New Year's Eve or a get away ordeal with friends. The rooms are the cheapest of any big hotel......gotta walk along an outside deck to get to individual rooms too and there are two floors. (no enclosed hallways)......this place has a separate heated pool and hot tub room behind the hotel they let us use all nite if we want (we just have to be sure sumone is in there at all times cuz after a certain time the door shuts and locks)....there is a small but cozy bar upstairs with juke box (an occational band in the corner off and on)....they also sell pizza. They let us bring our own booze in as long as THEY serve it....and munchies for the tables. And they don't say a word about our drinkin around the pool. Got any small time lodge type hotels outside of town that mite be more 'accomidateing friendly' in yer area ? We have a blast at this place.....they put us over to one end so we don't disturb people. There are resturants next door too and drive thrus and they never crash our parties like the big hotels do. Hotel madness Pam
This site is slow for me too.....esp tryin to pm anyone and get that area to come up.....sumtimes I GIVE UP even tryin to get on here.......I have just slow dialup tho.

Price sounds fine to me. Could we maybe have a fund to chip in to for those who can and get a room like the one that Justin had last year. There was lots of room for tables and it lead out to the atrium.

Yes, a hospitality suite would be a good thing, we might even qualify for one, given the volume of rooms we will be renting.

What Justin had last year was a Conference Suite, I believe. Which would be different then a Hospitality Suite. I think we had a hospitality the first year and it was very small.
They have 2 Conference rooms 423 and 471

So if we can't get that conference room to retreat to after 11pm there's always Thomas and Gena's room...I'm sure they won't mind
And if not there then there's always the bar. As long as they're open it's not likely we'll get thrown out of there.

OK then
I just wanted to let you all know before I made it official.'
I'm sure we'll find some whole to invade.... I'll check into this conference suite thingy....... I didnt' see it.. but if Gena says it'll work, it'll work. If it costs, maybe we night owls could all pitch in......
It will be the last weekend in January.
I hope we have a good turnout this year! I can't wait!
smooooooches

edited to add: I checked on the room that Gena spoke of , and it's 139.00 for 24 hours ... was 159... but I talked her down... LOL  I got MAD SKILLZ in negotiation.

I don't care if we have to go sit out in the snow after fricken 11pm, as long as we are all there.
With that said...
I have said I would be at the last 3 gatherings. I missed all 3. Therefore, all I can say is I will not be attending this year so I look forward to seeing y'all.
One way or another...
