With the 9th Annual (WOW!) TFCTFN on its way, I was thinking that we should get a block of rooms. I was thinking that I might give the old Holiday Inn a call.

Details to follow. Anybody down?

Yup:buds:

count me in,,,,,,,,,,

how steep can it be?

still working towards the hall pass,
should be good to go by then,,,,,,,,,

Holiday Day is also known as Seaport Inn & Marina.
They have two bed rooms for $89 via Expedia.
Can we get a block of rooms cheaper than $89
for double occupancy???

I'm betting if I can get 25 rooms they'll get it down.

go for it Rick and count me in for a room.

Is this by the hour?

Im in!

Is this the same hotel we always stay at?

Is this the same hotel we always stay at?


Yes, and I'm staying FAR away :rotf2:

In.:smash:

I'm in for a room. Can't wait for this.

Oh come on John. I need a challenger for the treadmill toss! Also who else can bend steel with their legs?

I went to TFCTF about 5 or 6 years ago . . . I somehow ended up back in the "gym" - afterhours . . .

About all I recall is blueberry beer, pellet guns and a model beautiful woman on the treadmill . . . I went back to my room shortly before the cops arrived . . . I've been too frightened to return :rotf2:

Oh come on John. I need a challenger for the treadmill toss! Also who else can bend steel with their legs?


I forgot all about that :rotf2: . There was 300#s of weights on and someone on top of that? Was that you standing on the weights?

Best Treadmill toss must be Redlite from previous year.

Exactly, now you can't not be there to defend your title.

Rumor has it that photographic evidence exists....:smash:

I don't think we have any other choice but to be "in" on the rooms blocked! :buds:

Have we negotiated a lower block room rate
so I can call and make a reservation?????

Sorry guys...calling tomorrow.
Thanks,
Rick

So,
Here's the story:
I was able to get a block of 20 rooms on the same floor for the price of $69 for the night.

For an extra $10 PP, we can book a hospitality suite, if we like, with a 62" tv, couch, etc. if anybody is inerested.

I need to confirm the total number of rooms at that rate by Tuesday 2/15, at which point I will give them my credit card to hold the block of rooms.

People will pay individually when they arrive, at the hotel front desk (you pay for your own room).

If you would like to save $20 a night from the rate of $89, please let me know as SOON AS POSSIBLE. I am sorry for the short notice, but I only have until Tuesday to confirm.

Please either post here or send me a PM if you'd like to participate. If I don't get the 15-20 responses by Tuesday, the offer is off, and you're on your own to book a room.

I'll be at the Cape, out of comms until Sunday, but will get back to anybody with questions after that.

You can count on Mikey for a room, and myself for a room to start off. That leaves 18 to go!

Thanks,
Rick

OK, so here's the list so far:
1. Me
2. Mikey
3. 5/0
4. Bassdawg
5. eelskimmer
6. Linesider 69
7. animal
8. Circlehook
9. Tynan and Starfish (I'm guessing)
10. Jack K
11. Rob Rockcrawler
12. John R
13. Fishbones

Okay, Rick did a great job getting a block of
rooms for $69. If we want the hospitality
room with kitchen, conference table etc. that
is an extra $10 on each room. Might be nice
for meeting everyone and after hours cards
and drinks. I made reservation just 10 minutes
ago. My bro Jim is coming down so we are
on bended knee for room at Bubba's table--
the lucky table. Block of rooms are all together
but if you want peace and quiet they will put
you next to the elevators.

Bring it!I can't wait:buds:

Hey Everybody,
If anybody else wants in, I will need to call tomorrow to confirm. Looks like we won't have enough people, as it stands right now. I'll still ask for the rate, but can't guarantee it.
Please let me know if you want to stay and I will let them know tomorrow.
Thanks,
Rick

Sorry, I haven't really been paying attention to this thread... But I'm down for a room.

Im in.

OK Everybody,
With Jack and Rob, that makes 11 rooms. If four more respond, I think I can negotiate the rate. I'm going to call at noon today, so if four more people can commit, we'll go for the $69 with no hospitality room.
Sound good?
Thanks,
Rick

I'm in for one, and the hospi room as long as none promises to trash it :love: . I'll even kick in extra if needed for that room.

I'm in for a room and I'll throw some dough towards the hospitality room, as well.

OK, so we get the rooms at $69 a nite. No hospitality room, we needed 20 rooms to get it at $10 per night.

Please mention striped-bass.com when you call to make a reservation.

Everyone will be paying at the desk individually, upon arrival.

You'll need to call the hotel and book your room, in advance, where you will be able to pick either king bed or double beds.

Hope this works for everybody.

Oh yeah, if you weren't on the list and you want this cheap rate, feel free to call and reserve under the group rate with striped-bass.com.

Thanks,
Rick

Here's is the info

Whoot just booked my room! I may take friday night as well and start a pre party!

Just reserved two rooms for me.
Prksie and Phil Brown will be joining us, as well.

how many more we need for the extra room ? for late night card games etc?

booked my room last night as well, gotta see this treadmill! :hihi:

Uhh, we missed the extra room. We would have needed 20 rooms with another $10 a piece by a week ago Tuesday.

When I called I got the "ooooooh, you're part of that group" :biglaugh: After that I was ready to be asked if I wanted to add on some sort of insurance! :rotf2:

EXACTLY! you must have called right after me lol :rotf2:

Rick,

I understand we got the $69 rate. Nice Job.
But we did not make the 20 rooms in order
to get the hospitality room for an extra $10
apiece. Why don't we just take an extra
room with or without beds and we all chip
in the extra. $69 divided by 15 is less than
$5 apiece. Can still play cut-throat on the bed/
floor. :smash:

Uh, yeah, that would be pretty sweet. I think it would be like $5 a piece.

Rob and I are all set with the reservations. I would throw down $5 on a room to trash Zeppelin style... I volunteer Nebe's CC for the security deposit.

I don't own a credit card. :P
