Ah dang... guys, we might have a problem on our hands. This is really important for anyone who is planning to go to NDK so listen up!
I'm not 100% sure on all the details but I have received word that the Marriott Hotel is full.
But don't panic yet! The rooms that are reserved specifically for NDK are full, not the whole hotel. I don't know exactly how many rooms they reserved for NDK but apparently Sorin's mom called the hotel to try and get a room and info. They said that the rooms for NDK (the ones with the discounts mind you) are all taken! Already! I was quite shocked to hear this since it's never full this early... unless they reserved less rooms than last year or something. So, she also tried to use her Marriott Rewards points and they don't have any of those rooms either I hear. So it looks like we are late upon doing all this stuff when I thought we had a really good head start...
What does this mean for us? 1. We have to pay the full rate for a room with no discounts. 2. Stay at another hotel and then find a way to shuttle back and forth. 4. Only stay Saturday night to pay less monies and skip Friday (that's also about $10-15ish down the drain that you paid for going on Friday mind you if you preregistered) 5. Not stay at the hotel at all and come up every day from home (pain in the butt mostly) 3. Not go! (lol I'm kidding)
Personally because of past experiences, we find ourselves going to the hotel rooms to put stuff away quite a lot and it's extremely convenient to stay right there where all the action is happening. I'm all for staying at the hotel, and others (like Ani, Night, Thrax, etc) who aren't staying at the hotel, they can still hang out and store stuff in our rooms until they leave at the end of the day. It's better for everyone if we at least get one room at the Marriott Tech Center (but two preferably so everyone can stay there of course.)
I'm hoping we can get this all figured out, like, RIGHT NOW! It's extremely important that we figure this all out. I NEED to know room arrangements NOW! People, please post and talk amongst yourselves, talk on the phone, everything. We are getting this done and out of the way so we have somewhere to stay for the week.
Currently we have (this is completely confirmed!) Tusami, Kaito, Sorin, and Kama who are going to stay in the hotel.
Momaru has his own plans, he's not staying in the hotel though.
I NEED to hear from: Shyria. Are you going? Are you registered? Do you plan to be in the hotel? Also, is your mom going to be able to drive up Sorin and/or Kama or do we need to find another driver? Let me know soon draggie-butt! Sanyai. She isn't on the forums so I'll call her today. I need to know if she going to stay at the hotel/already has a room/staying somewhere else/etc. Ani. You have to MAKE SURE COMPLETELY that you are allowed to have Night and Thrax stay with you. We can't afford to find out later that they need to find somewhere else to stay=big huge problems. I know your roommates are cool with it but you need to talk to the school like now! Today, whenever, but asap please! If it turns out they can't, we need to include them in our room plans k? Please get back to me on this Ani-Ani soon! *huggles*
I'll call you if you don't reply to this soon. We need to know who to include in on the room arrangements so we can get our rooms figured out now. Then I'll call the hotel and ask prices and let everyone know what it will cost to stay 2 nights. I'll let you know what everyone has to pay individually so it will be easier on you. I'll let you know right now: The prices for rooms are over $100 a night. This is with no discounts and I believe it is the base price for a room for 4 people (two queen beds, standard) So, divide by 4 people in a room and you get $25 per person a night. Now x2 nights is about $50. Compare that to the NDK discount price if we did this earlier: $36. Yeah... ouch. And that's with 4 people in a room. The less people you have, the more expensive in a way it is so that's why we need to figure out room arrangements before the entire hotel gets full (which it will eventually.) At this rate it will be a lot quicker than last year so I'm guessing like a month or month and a half it will be all gone. Guess what? THAT'S REALLY SOON!
I know I still need to get more info on the prices and stuff but if Ani's deal with Thrax and Night works out, we could have (as example) Kaito, Sorin, Tusami, and Kama in one room, but then Shyria and Sanyai (and whoever else is planning to go that I haven't heard from) would be together... unless they have other plans. I don't know at this point so that's why I need to. I'm pretty sure that Shyria was planning to stay at the hotel with us like last year, but Sanyai I donno because she was at a different hotel since she couldn't get a room last year.
If that remains the same then it would be like Tusami, Kaito, and Sorin in a room and then Shyria, Kama, and Sanyai in another to even out the price. (3 and 3)
If Thax and Night can't stay with Ani then it'd be something like 4 and 4 in each room which is good to cut down price individually but then Night and Thrax would have to pay instead of staying with Ani for free.
We can't exactly do a guys room and a girls room either. There'd have to be either 2 guys and 2 girls in one room and 1 guy and 3 girls in the other. Or maybe 3 guys 1 girl in one room and 4 girls in the other. But I think you get the point, I'm just rambling now.
Basically we need to find out if Ani's plans will work out. Then we need to know Sanyai and Shyria's plans. Then we can divide the rooms accordingly and book the rooms and make everyone give their money to ME! Muahaha! (well actually, it'd be my mom that everyone owes or something like that, but basically you DON'T go if you don't pay k?) Be willing to pay more money that you first thought if you still want to stay in the hotel. Next year will be easier since we'll do it much earlier and more people will be graduating so they have other places to stay and people might be able to stay with them and stuch. Yeah. Okies.
SUMMARY! If room prices are around $100 per night, this is what will happen:
If Ani's plans work and Shyria/Sanyai will be staying with us, it'll be 3 and 3 in a room. That's over $65 for 2 nights. If Ani's plans work out but Shyria/Sanyai will not be with us, it'll be 4 in a room. That's over $50 for 2 nights.
If Ani's plans don't work out and Shyria/Sanyai will be staying with us, it'll be 4 and 4 in a room. That's over $50 for 2 nights. If Ani's plans don't work out but Shyria/Sanyai will not be with us, it'll be 3 and 3 in a room. That's over $65 for 2 nights.
I know this kinda sucks but we don't have much option now. I will still call the hotel and confirm that we can't get the NDK deal or any other deals to make sure this is how it's gonna be. As soon as I get more info, I will update it here so make sure you look out for new posts k? I will go call Sanyai right now and see her plans and update things here. I will then wait for responses to this post. If I don't hear from Shyria in a few days I'll call her and find out her plans. I need to hear from Ani to see if I have to include Thrax and Night in the room arrangements. Then I'll put up a master plan and we'll discuss it. When it's all good, I'll reserve the hotel and let everyone know what they must pay. I would love to have the money asap since I'll probably make my mom pay for it and then you owe her so don't wait to pay her or else! *doom doom* Then we can relax for a little while. We just need this done. I thank everyone who read this like they were suppose to because I know it's long.
When you reply, please tell me your plans and if I have them correct or not. Let me know if there's anyone else from our group/school/people we know that are going to NDK too; perhaps we can make better arrangements with them. If I have specifically asked you to reply about certain things, please reply to them obviously. And if you have any other useful info you can tell me, please please do! Ok, I'll shut up now but thanks for reading! Now you know what's going on so yeah. Cool, bye now. I'm off to call Sanyai.

*Slams hands on desk and dramatically points while yelling* OBJECTION!!! Actually, I am planing to stay in the hotel. Where else am I going to stay smart one? It should help with the rooms if I stay with you as well. Trust me there is no way in hell that Kama's parents is gonna let her sleep in a room with boys. No way, no how. Don't forget that Katie usually stays with Kitty, so that needs to be taken into account as well. There is one other little thing, if god forbid, something bad happens, it's all going to fall on Night's shoulders since she is the only non minor that is going to be with us. Well, it's more likely going to be left to me since I am the oldest person staying with you guys in the hotel. PLEASE PLEASE don't make me have to be the one to call your parents ,and or file a police report ,and or be obligated to preform some equally unpleasant task because someone got hurt/arrested. *perverted smile* of course I don't care at all if I have to sleep with you Tusami...

Oh wow, that changes things. I guess, I donno, I thought you'd be doing the same thing as Ani but I'm stupid and didn't think that though anyways. Ok, so we throw that into the mix and we have... possible problems? No. I think it'll work better. Here! New room arrangements (for the best possible outcome, and this is for example):
Tusami, Kaito, Sorin, Momaru *twitch* in one and Kama, Shyria, Sanyai, Kitty in the other. I really must speak with Sanyai and Kitty too now. And Shyria and Ani of course. I really hope it works out like this too because then it'd be much better. K, thanks Momaru!

Alright, here's the info: I'm already pregistered and i was planning on staying in the hotel. My mom and i were meaning to get on asking about rooms soon but we've been a bit busy. I've printed this out and ill talk with her in the morning about this; also Tusami, we may end up calling you as well to go over some of this since you seem to be on top of things. As for rides, im pretty sure we can get Kama and Sorin up there depending on how busy we end up the day we leave; if my sister has any sports going on that day, be warned it may cause a bit of a snarl travelwise

Oh, and I just checked the rates on the Marriott website. sorry to say Tusami, but your costs are way off. It's going to cost $150 a night. Tax is going to be around $22 dollars, so that's actually $172 a night, or $342 for the whole weekend per room. It might be a good idea to find cheaper rooms elsewhere nearby. Either that, or find out exactly what's going on and pester whoever we need to until we can get that nice $72 group rate. *uber perverted thoughts* Ohh, I can hardly wait until I get to sleep with Tusami.....

Oh, another thing, if need be, my mom could probably drive up for part of the con stay to keep an eye on us if we need one, but be warned im not entirely sure how likely this might be; i need to confirm with her for certain

OMGWTF?!?! Wow...just seeing this makes me pretty much pissed off...>((( Alright here's what I HAVE TO SAY:
1) There is NO WAY I am NOT wasteing MY 15 bucks down the damn drain! If I have to pay 200$ for a full stay, I'm fine with that, I really don't care what my mother says!
2) Well...staying at another hotel...I dunno...it really just depends on how we're going to do this... and personally, I'd rather stay at a hotel I know pretty well. :/
...well that's not much to say but still. I can't BELIVE that the hotel is booked for NDK rooms! It just makes me so mad and pissed!!!! I want to stay for both nights as well, cause I already have everything planned out for my costumes. l( Trust me...I don't really wanna stay at home for Friday night.

Ok, well thank you Shyria for posting that all up. Know I know more of what's going on. And to Momaru: Oh wow... that's gonna suck if it's seriously that high. I need to confirm this obviously and the best way is to talk to someone rather than through the stupid computer. Yeah, all I was informed about was that it was over $100 and nothing more. Wow... ok. Yes, that'll be very very nice if you can call and figure out how much it would be for two rooms for 8 people. If you don't want to though, I will. But we need to know for sure. I'm %100 sure that we need 2 rooms for all of us so we can go ahead and figure the price because yeah the tax applies if there's more than 2 people in a room. Ugh. So yeah, ok. More things to worry about. And I cannot BELIEVE that the rooms with the discount are gone already... there is no freaking way. >< And yes, Shyria, feel free to give me a call whenever if you want. I'll talk to Sanyai and Kitty in the morning. I'm going to bed though after I check through the rest of these posts.

Well, it sure don't look like we can get 2 beds in a room. I hope we can get roll aways or it's gonna suck. oh well Tusami, like I say I don't mind sleeping with you at all. *laughs pervertedly* *grumble* although, there is always sleeping bags, and I do have 2 Aero beds.

*eyes explodes from reading all of that* ... WOW. You sure have a lot to say! xD
Okay, seriously now. That really sucks that you guys have to pay for the hotel prices; I too am pretty shocked to hear that NDK rooms are already all gone! That must mean it'll be a full convention this year, whoohoo! But yeah, that still sucks. 8l
*giggle* Ani this, Ani's plan, Ani that, Ani's plan. Wow, I'm pretty important in this. xDD
Anywaaaay~ I am almost positive that it's ok for Night and Thrax to stay with me. When I first moved in, they had this meeting thing, you know, OH WELCOME TO THE TOWERS, we r glad u r here. :D :D :D, that sort of thing and we went over the rules. They said that I can have as many guests as I want so as far as having two more people staying in my tower room is perfectly ok. ;D -punches air with paw- The only thing I need to do is get an 'ok' from my roommates. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut.... I really don't think that's a problem because... They are really the nicest roommates I ever had [my first ones but not the point] and I don't think they would turn me down. I can ask them now... only except I'm home at this moment and staying for the weekend so I'll have to wait till Tuesday to hear from them.
But like I said... I really don't think they'll say no. Because well, me, Night and THrax will be out of the room all day for NDK anyway and we'll only be back to sleep in the night. So I think that's pretty reasonable. BD So yeah, not really worried, my plan should work. K. -Thumbsup-
I seriously can not wait for NDK~! *dances* Night's coming and you guys will FINALLY meet her and all of her sexy, awesomeness! :D :D :D
And Bryce... Will you stop with the 'I can't wait to sleep with Tusami' thing already? You already mention it three times and she's obviously not going to respond to that so yeah... knock it off. BD;;
I think that's all. 8> I'm finally gonna see Transformer with my brother today so... yeah, Ani AWAYYY -fleeeeeeeee-

Aww but Ani can't help it if I am a pervert even if my thoughts sometimes go around in circles. Besides, everyone knows Tusami will sleep on the floor since she is weird like that. Although I get back aches just thinking about it.

Guys, we have some rooms!!! My mom, Kama, and I managed to find a hotel about a quarter-mile away from the Marriott on the same side of the interstate. Its called the Homestead Studio Suites Hotel, the address is 4885 South Quebec Street, and we managed to find two rooms with double beds, each can sleep four people; that means that we have space reserved for 8 people total. Its cheap too, my mom was able to use her AAA discount and get the rooms at about 70-75$ a night (depending on taxes). Me and kama are already pregistered for the convention, so we have space for other people in the rooms we reserved. If anyone wants more information, the phone number is 1-303-689-9443 VICTORY!!!!!!!!!! *party*
