funsoul Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Has anyone tried to reserve a room? The process is still catching up, the Marriott contact just emailed me to advise that it may be 1-2 business days until we're set up to reserve.

The process is still catching up, the Marriott contact just emailed me to advise that it may be 1-2 business days until we're set up to reserve. Â My plan is book on Friday after payday. I will also try to get an inventory of everything I plan on bringing together this weekend. If anyone has anything they don't have but would maybe like to bench, post and if I have it, I'll bring it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotrod717 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Still in. If and how many days i actually stay at hotel are dependent on amount of beverages i enjoy! Only have one cryo hose to bring. An extra may be helpful to tap 2 cans at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Signing up. I will be there as long as work doesn't drag me away. I live within driving distance (1.5 hours away), so I may be able to host a couple of people to save them some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funsoul Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 We have a problem Houston  Marriott just notified me that due to the ln2 they are cancelling our reservation. I told them all about it repeatedly starting back in March.  Now working on Plan B which is the same weekend but at Loews Philadelphia. The sales rep is working to confirm that we're good to go with the ln2. I should hear back today and, if good, will book it.  The fall back plan is the Clarion in Harrisburg (same place as last year). The main issue there is that the party would be July 21-23. If Loews falls through, will book the Clarion tomorrow morning.  Apologies again for all the hassles on this. Will post back as soon as I know anything.

funsoul Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Just got confirmation from Loews! Am getting it booked asap. Â Here's their reply "As for the 8 nitrogen tanks, non-flammable as you had stated, is fine. I have received approval for it from our Director of Engineering." Â Will update again as soon as I have more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funsoul Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Admins- Would one of you kindly change the party dates for the main thread title to 7/14-16? I tried but no workie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Vacation request sent at work. Going to hold off on Hotel reservations for now just in case something else changes. Â Have 1 cryo hose to bring. Â Have 4 dewars as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funsoul Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Excellent!  ALL- Please do not try to reserve a room at Loews yet. Once I've signed the contract they'll provide a code for booking sleeping rooms.  We have a guaranteed rate of $169.00 single/double occupancy; $25.00 each additional person  Let me check whether the wife's coming or not (she's on the fence atm). If I'm flying solo, have no problem sharing a room with 1-2 other folks.  Update: Post#1 (re) updated.

funsoul Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hoping to finalize the contract today (or Monday latest). We are guaranteed for 10 rooms (we can add more if needed). Hopefully we can figure out how many rooms we need shortly. I know that, at minimum we're at 3 so far (me, Joe and jiccman). Will also check the parking situation. Â Will provide all the details as soon as I have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this falls through for some reason I'll look for last minute flight deals and/or just go to General Mitchell Intl airport and wait for an el cheapo flight . I'm planning on meeting up with SI at some point as well. We are going to split a room or stay with friends somewhat near the venue. Not sure what Filmbot has in mind but is obviously welcome to join us as the "lodging" part of this trip is of minor concern, don't really care where we stay, how many people join us etc. #1 priority is OC and the rest we can figure out as we go, last resort is camp somewhere or just stay in SI's vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funsoul Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Cool man! So you're definitely in? As per my message, my wife is still on the fence but if she doesn't come to Philly, you and Strong can crash in my room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we'll be driving, I'll bring all relevant extra hardware I can to help.  Also, I haven't booked room yet either but I'm fine with sharing rooms or doing anything else to save a few bucks Basically whatever will be the easiest and most efficient for the group, I'm in for.
