Convention dates and hotels......lets go girls

[Diceman]

If ya don't get your ass in gear, you will miss out.
Here are 3 relatively priced hotels within blocks of the water at the inner harbor area.
I like the first one, looks quaint. Witht eh football game on sun nite things will go fast. We need to reserve our rooms now the rest can be figgered out later......got it??
So check these out and seems the date is set for Sept 9-10-11.
Some of the low rates are non-refundable so ya might better off paying a few bucks more, just in case.

I vote on the Brookshire, closer, good rates, older for that historic feel......

We are going to a Penn State game on the 10th of Sept.....
Have to change the date for the convention and since that is also a Baltimore Ravens home game..it might work out anyway..we need to change the date for later in Sept.
I'M SO SORRY GUYS......

Knowing the area and where all 3 hotels are I would recommend #2 The Days Inn. It is the easiest of the 3 to get to off of 95 and is only 3 blocks to The Harbour, Camden Yards , or for you Squeelers fans Ravens Stadium depending on which way you walk. Whatever that may be lets get it set IN STONE !!

ok there should not be a problem changing the date at this point in the game but yes lets get it set.
if you change it to a weekend when there is not a home game at least the straglers will be able to get a room and attend rather than saying too bad you didnt sign up 4 months ago.

who cares what hotel until there is a date set so lets get that down then move on.

Where is Chairman Robo? Sounds like we need a "ruleing"

[selfemployed]

She says we are comming! Long as it's a weekend. All I can say is she is in banking sooooo I guess she knows where the $$$ is. Liz said she will have a working voice too. Dice is Claire comming?

Sorry guys. Been up to my ears with the new job and finding a house for Lisa and I to rent that is in a decent location for both our workplaces.

I want to first make certain that whatever hotel we decide on is not one frequented by the local hourly patrons.

As for the date; the weekend before is Labor Day weekend, which is fine by me but others might object. So, do we back up to August or hit the 16th of September?

I don't follow sports and don't know how to get baseball schedules.

So are you going to call the Hotels and ask ?

If I'm reading the schedule correctly it looks like the Orioles have home games every weeken BUT the 9-11th. Labor Day weekend they are only home on Labor Day Monday.

ALSO; WHOEVER HAS MADE THIS PAGE SO DAMNED WIDE.....FIX IT!

Of course not. I may just have to do some investigations

One thing to consider is that kids will be going back to school in august.

I will be there... just let me know when

As far as Labor Day it doesn’t matter to me either way

And if the ball games are a problem then is there a way to move to an area that would not be so packed

I think Annapolis was mentioned would that still be in the “hot zone"?

[Diceman]

Scott, Claire is definately comming to this whenever the hell it is.
Days Inn sounds good to me, I think it is best to avoid Labor Day weekend, I'm sure a lot of guys have plans for then. Sooooooo do we do middle August or middle September.
I think at this point September would be better. Many already have vaca plans for the summer.
Ya all agree?
The screen is wide from those hotel links.
