Block of Rooms for TFCTFN

[RickBomba]

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?

[5/0]

Yup

[BassDawg]

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???

[RickBomba]

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

[eelskimmer]

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

Is this the same hotel we always stay at?

Yes, and I'm staying FAR away

[animal]

In.

[Circlehook]

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

[tynan19]

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 . 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.

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

[tynan19]

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

[animal]

Rumor has it that photographic evidence exists....

[Starfish]

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

[eelskimmer]

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

[RickBomba]

Sorry guys...calling tomorrow.
Thanks,
Rick

[RickBomba]

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

[Rob Rockcrawler]

Im in.

[RickBomba]

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

[JohnR]

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

[fishbones]

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

[RickBomba]

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
