Title: OKMidwest Meet and Greet.....
Post by River_Rat on Oct 22nd, 2003, 5:45pm
I thought I'd post this here, this came out of a long dicussion, I think we have decided (HOPE) anyway if you didn't see it in the meet and greet section here it is::


OK

GREAT NEWS TINA WILL BE HOSTING THE MIDWEST MEET AND GREET, I might give her a hand.

WHEN: January 10th and 11th (Check in at 2pm)

WHERE: SteepleGate Inn (100 W. 76th st. Davenport, IA)

I Spoke with the GM at the SteepleGate For about an hour today and got us some great rates, This is a very nice hotel, with a great bar, very nice restaurant, large indoor pool with alot of tables and lounge areas, I explained the purpose of our meeting and he was very helpful, not to mention I personally know the owner, who never goes there, but I did drop the name LOL

http://www.bestwestern.com/prop_16083

With the use of this type hotel the won't be much reason to have to leave, everything we need will be there.

Rates are $99.00 single occupancy, However I was able to negotiate these rates

Hows $64.00 double occupancy sound and that includes a killer breakfest buffett.

Here's the catch we need to book 10 rooms so I need to know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE how many of you will be in attendence.

I'm going to post this in general post as well

Gena, just wait a few days I need to make sure we will need 10 rooms, then I have to let him know for sure so we can get the rate.

"It's 265 miles to Davenport, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it."  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Cool, WTG Lee!
I'm always looking for a good reason to knock off work early on a Friday. Count us in as long as the weather cooperates.

How many do we have now!!!!

Gena

Title: Re: OKMidwest Meet and Greet.....
Post by River_Rat on Oct 23rd, 2003, 5:47pm
Gena, I think we're still waiting, to see if the dates and location is ok with everyone.

I haven't heard anyone say that it was a problem, but it doesn't look (at least at this point) like we are gonna fill 10 rooms

The people that said they will be there for sure are:
Gena
Jim
Vig
River_Rat
Tina & Ramon

The maybe's are:
Yos
BruceD

My wife and I will get a room there but I think Tina and Ramon might be staying with family

So that's only 4 rooms for sure so far.

Post by Woobie on Oct 23rd, 2003, 6:48pm
OK Lee

People have emailed me and asked and I have NO idea.........

  When do you have to know??

Ramon and I can get a room there...... and if someone else needs it - or can show up - they can have it.  If no one needs it - we'll just stay.  

We have a lot of other places we can stay...... my parents.. friends... so if someone can show up at the last minute.. they're more than welcome to our room.

It'll be like a reserve room.  No biggie - if that'll help get the 10 rooms.  We're half way there.. right??  

Still havent heard from some people.......give it a couple days........

I'm having issues with my computer (on another one right now).   I have to reformat.....so I may not be online until tomorrow.......... SUCKS!!!

peace out!

Well, The GM of the hotel wanted me to let them know by Friday (that's today) but I think he was just trying to lock us in, I'm quite sure if we let him know in a week or so it will be fine.

Also, if we only need like 7 or 8 rooms he may let it slide, we just need to get a count and let him know. When we talked he just threw out that number so I'm not sure how solid the 10 rooms thing is.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make this one  :'( :'(

Clark will be TDY for the month of January, so for one I'll be a single parent that month, and 2, my daughters b'day is on the 11th so I really can't be gone that weekend.

Don't change it for one person though, you have a great turnout, so go with it :)

I will make the next one :)

Hay woobie I know you were talking to cat.

They are 12 & 7, So the older one can baby sit and keep the yonger one busy.

Is anyone else going to bring Kids?

My two are 13 and 9 - both girls....... that'll give em someone to play with.

Hadn't thought about it.  They will probably be at my parent's house most of the time.. just because they like it there... but I can bring them for a while so they can play.

OK Cat,

I'll up the ante ... If you make it to scenic Davenport I'll make a cheesecake for your daughter's birthday! Come on ... you know you want to come  ;;D

Hey woobs, I'll have to double check to see if I can spare the extra days to hunt. Was Ramon talking about in Illinois or Iowa?

We'll plan on being there, so let me know on the room arrangements & when we should call the hotel.

Later

Ok Ok Ok, talk about pressure!!!!!

Sorry folks, but I have actually TASTED Bruce's cheesecake, and they are to die for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be there!  Well I will do everything in my power to be there that is LOL.

Clark can come home on the weekends from Texas so I will have him come home that weekend and we will all go to Davenport and he can watch the kids while we all party hehe.  He would love to meet you guys, and I can guarantee that Andrea will think it's the birthday of her dreams :)

Thanks folks, do they have a suite? hehe.  Alex is 11 (will be 12 in Feb) and Andrea will be 10 that weekend, and Ayden is 3.  Any volunteers from the 12 & 13 year olds to babysit?  I'll pay ;)  But I need a 2 room suite hehe, I've lived in single hotel rooms with 3 kids before, it sux!

WoooHoooo! It'll be great to finally get a chance to meet ya' Cat. Sorry I had to resort to dirty tactics, but oh well! Sooooo, what cheesecake should I bring? ... chocolate? or CHOCOLATE?  ;;D

Actually I'll try to bring a couple of 'em ... but by that time I may just about be cheesecaked out. (Around Christmas I end up making a boatload of cheesecakes to distribute to our neighbors)

Take care

Hmm, would love to go, but will have to see how things go. Not sure if I could get there. Making the convention next year more of a priority, as I have yet to go and after the shit I have been through, am hell-bent on making it.
Not to mention, I try to schedule my annual nervous breakdown and emotional collapse for around the first of the year.   ;;D

Peace,
Carl D

OH BRUUUUUUCEEEEE...I have the PERFECT idea for getting rid of your extra cheesecakes.
How do they ship?  Is it really expensive?

Go check the "other ouch fundraisers" board :)

Hey Lee,

Sounds great!  Don't know yet if we can make it.  My wife and I have been discussing it, but with some problems she is having with health right now we cannot commit.  Can we get a room later at the discounted price?  If all else fails I may just drive over for a short time to get to meet all of you.  Really looking forward to it.
Jerry

Hey Jerry

Ramon and I will be getting a room - but we dont need to stay there - so if you show up - you can have it.  No worries... just bring yourself if you can!! OK??  Hope your wife is feeling better!!

Peace!
