September 14, 200520 yr QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 08:07 PM) Hyatt says the packages can't be booked until October 15th. This conflicts with what the Soxfest hotline and website says. I emailed Brooks on this and am awaiting response. aboz, i appreciate that..also appreciate the new info on this..it'll be my 5th year at the hotel..just a great time of year. i also recommend staying in the hotel for anyone who can afford it, its just a blast.

Usually we get the "thanks for being a great st holder, all your support, bla, bla, bla.... and don't forget to book your rooms for soxfest!!!" letter first.

All proceeds will go to the find a date for Heads foundation of course ;-)

September 15, 200520 yr QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) I just hope they don't try to charge me more money if I get the 2-night package and have a group of 4 like they did last year. Supposedly the price is based on 2 people in the room even though they give you 4 passes... Yeah the room is supposedly for two people, but they give you tickets for four people. It's stupid. They charged us for an extra person last year, so this year will just sneak in the extra person.
September 15, 200520 yr My mom just called me from back home. I'm at ISU and she said she booked the weekend. She said it was 140 a night to stay, but on the site it says 249 for the double play package. She's calling back tommorrow to do it as usual theres usually a problem at the Hyatt front desk..A pain but worth it.

September 15, 200520 yr I am not going to be able to stay the weekend like usual for obvious reasons, but I am going to have to find a way to hang out for a night, and crash on someone's floor maybe... Soxfest is always an incredibly fun time, and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. Not only that, but go to the bar after hours if you are of age, and meet people and drink a lot. You won't regret it, well unless you are Krush.

I'm just going to have the extra people wait for me on the main floor and after I go up, check in and get to the room I'll come back down for them.

September 15, 200520 yr Nope, still geeks. no...I did not get my entire family (25+ people) to rearrange summer vacation plans next year so I wouldn't have to miss my Godzilla convention...I would never do that...
