Ahhhh,
I think we may need to find a new venue next year. The hotel people were PISSED at me for the fire extinguisher antics (that I missed)....We'll see if they charge me the $100 for the cleanup! Hope you weight room kids had fun (I hear you did).
Oh well,
I also find it strangely ironic that the one year I don't get F'd up, I get charged!

Cost an extra 50 bucks for disturbance and clean up fees. The girl at the desk was really nice, but did say we may not be welcome back next year. This was my first TFCTFN and the venue was great maybe we can sneak in again next year, just use different names on the cc cards. It was a great time. Thanks for everyone who did the work. looking forward to it next year.

Everything is better on the rocks.

She didnt mention anything about a rebate or any videotape to me. I did however enjoy a delicious breakfast of bacon, cinnamon rolls and coffee. She laughed when i asked were to get breakfast, and told me i better get my 50.00 dollars worth.

Thanks to all who put on a great evening! The food, the company, the slideshow, the awards and raffle were all excellent!

I don't know if I got charged the extra $50 on my card? I called down to the front desk before leaving and they said I didn't need to do anythng to check out.

Seems like two heads thought it would be fun to squirt each other with a fire extinguisher in a small room filling it with the dust thus setting of the fire alarm. I assume the 50 fee is to cover the false alarm and cleaning of the room.

How fast was the treadmill going for the challenge? There was no way I was getting on that thing in the shape I was in. It's too bad the fire extinguisher went off. There was barely any time for fitness room hijinks.

Ouch. I lasted about 3 seconds on the treadmill. Have some gnarly rash from my hand slipping onto it when it was going at lightspeed

Did you call the hotel, Casey? They'll remove the charges since if they have video (like they claim to have), they'll clearly see that you didn't do it.

I still haven't checked to see if they charged my card, but there's no way I'm paying for it.

5/0's right. I called last night because nothing was mentioned to me about them adding anything to my bill when I checked out. The woman who answered was the one who checked most of us in on Sat. and said that they were matching up the copies of our licenses to the people in the video. I told her to have the General Manager call me today, so we'll see how that goes. There's no way I'm paying anything to them because I was standing in the room when it happened.

They have cameras in all the hallways. There was a camera right as you leave the gym on the left. I don't believe there was one inside. My opinion is we were all there a little intoxicated. The hotel had to go through the bullcrap of having their fire system set off disturbing other guests. They also had to be accountable for the cleanup and to the fire department. I didn't set of the fire extinguisher but still feel guilty by association and hopefuly we get to stay there again. John, if you hear from the manager I would like to know what happens. I just feel like if we all call there bitching we won't be allowed back at all.

I wasn't happy to pay the 50 bucks but the girl at the checkout counter and i had a good laugh about it. She said it was likely that we would not be allowed back. I was under the assumption that our names would be sort of blacklisted in the computer. I would like to be able to stay there again next year. It seems like the perfect venue for the event.

Casey, I spoke to the hotel GM yesterday and she basically said that the charges are for the "disturbance caused by our group" and the fitness room incident. Apparently there was someone outside our rooms snickering at the GM when she came upstairs to quiet things down at 3am. Three people checked out because our group was so loud, too. I can't believe I slept through the loud partying and guitar playing. She said to check back next week after they've had a chance to match the surveillance video to our license photos, but it sounds like we're all stuck with the charges if they saw us on video. And she said we're all on a list and are banned from the hotel until further notice. She was pretty nice about it, though.
