According to the website it's actually $173 instead of $199, though either is still good.
And that's a good plan. It can't be my plastic since it's been used the last two times. But it's less a problem than we think. Once we know who it's to be transferred to we'll negotiate the funds for the eight of us on the other side, and you can drop the room on J.
Hmm, $173 being the usual going rate for the Days now? The receipt she had clearly stated $199 per night... but I suppose with the economy crashing and burning, it would make sense if they dropped their rates.
(For the record, I feel like such a dope. I was looking through my email and going "Where are those receipts for the hotel rooms? I know they have to be in here somewhere..." ...And turns out I never made any of them. -_-)
*has a look again, since it came in while I was at work* ...You know, it's more accurate for the sprite, but the previous version was really gorgeous, so I'm kind of torn. ;)
And yay recording! Still need to figure out what dialogue to use as the west is attacking, but as that can always be dropped in later, maybe I'll just go ahead and record Monday. (Because, uh, thin walls in the apartment and people tend to be home on weekends.)
I can take the rooms onto my card, but if and ONLY if I have cheques in hand from everyone involved at least a week and change before the con - if I don't have this, it's entirely possible they'll bounce it back to your card, or even put us (not you and andrea) in the situation of needing to be at the con by 4pm or risk being cancelled on.
ED: I have confirmation from the people taking the third room that premailing a cheque is no problem, ditto Mith.
You need to add my name ("Gerald W. Farmer, Jr.") to the two rooms, and then I can call and have them put onto my card. I'm also going to try and haggle with them, since we're getting all kinds of different numbers for the price.
Call/IM/Text/e-mail when you've added my name and I'll take it from there.
- Rooms are not charged until we actually check in. I say that the best thing to do is to simply add my name and Carrie's name (Cara Wood) to the reservation, one on each room. That way we can each check in as we arrive. If I can get cheques from Mith or Linden beforehand, that would be a great help.
Also, they jack their rates by 33% for Otakon. I'm thinking that a different hotel might be in order for next year - maybe have one person go to the Hyatt and one to the Days Inn and compare, or something.
It also indicates to me a way to determine when Otakon is for next year: look for the weekend where the Days Inn jacks its rates. We should pursue this in the coming days *sinister*

Incidentally, I think I'll try for the recording in a few hours, and did you see the new East? Better?
