$79 block of rooms full

[OrangevaleFJR]

The block of rooms for the dates of 7/28 & 7/29 were gone so for those two nights we have to pay $129. We get the first night at $79.

Sounds like a $129 disconnect from the Event Contract which stipulates the Group Rate room discount is available until 30 days prior to the event.

Phaque! Mr. Procrastinator just wasted a hunnert bucks. Oh, well. That much less to spend on booze, broads and tables. :fool:

They only blocked out so many rooms. WC did indeed shoot one over the bow about this... But, do you think we'd listen? NOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!

D'OH!

If there was a shot over the bow regarding this issue then it was a mixed shot. The question about the deadline for room reservations was asked and answered on January 26. If there was a limited number of rooms available at the $79 rate there wasn't any mention of it at that time. I think it (limited number of rooms) may have been mentioned earlier but after I read WC's comment about the Contract I thought it was a non-issue. If the number of rooms are limited then that will probably also reduce the number of attendees.

Breath deep, dudes; I'll look into this tomorrow.... it'll get sorted....

Well, seeing as I don't spend money on broads, it was nice of me to wait for all the guys that do have to pay for 'it' to get the cheap rooms :haha:

My delay wasn't a procrastination anyway. It was a scarafice for greater good that is a completely different story that I'll tell over some Macallan's in Reno!

From the WFO site:

Don't delay making your reservations, as our block of rooms will undoubtedly fill up quickly.

Orangie, I was refering to me, not you. I always wait til the last possible moment... I hate advance planning leisure time activities...

 

[Feejer/Weejer man]

If the rooms are truly filled up, how about room shares. I have done this at two of the WFO's and it worked for me. so how about it ? Anyone? I too didn't make reservations yet for family and work related issues. Non smoker easy going. Live in No. ca. mike

 

[fjrchooser]

S.O. finally confirmed she was going this weekend so I booked last evening. I was also told $129 per night as the block was filled <_< .

Figured I rather hang at the Hilton with you partyers than try to find something cheaper so I coughed up the extra. If we can recoup cool, if not oh well...

So you don't want to drink with me?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

You and I are alike in that way though. This planning ahead stuff is really strange. Quite a few ride reports that I've put up were based on rides that had been decided upon within 2 hours of leaving, or less.

When I hear the word , 'procrastinator' I assume I'm being referred to

Room shares worked on the Yosemite trip, I think people can easily find those interested in splitting the cost.

I will also confess to being a prize procrastinator but it is not because I am not willing to plan, I just seem to have very bad karma when it comes to motorcycle trips and reservations. Every time I make a reservation something goes wrong and I end up having to cancel or eat the cost -- so I wait as long as possible to pull the string. I might have waited too long this time, but damn, this is early March and event isn't until the end of July.

Oh, yeah... We're doing some boozing, for sure! :good:

About the room share stuff? A bit o advice: MadMike and Rogue make more noise while asleep than a gaggle of geese in heat! :blink:

 

[Ric in Sac]

TWN - No kidding! We should check the seismographs for the night MM2 stayed near Yosemite last year. I am confident it will show an increase in seismic activity.

 

[rontoride]

WOW...booked three nights on the 5th Mar. Got the 79.00 rate for all three. Must have been the next to last ones available....PHEEEEEW

 

[FlyingLow]

Dammit! :angry:

For about the last week now I've been thinking the same thing, "prolly should book, prolly should book"...

Fear not, I have faith that WC will open the door for us undeserving stragglers. If not, oh well, it's only money.

They have nickel slots there, right?

 

[madmike2]

I think I'd wait until our Benevolent One has worked some magic before I opined on the room charges.
