wierd_w Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I cannot attend, as fun as it sounds. I have already made plans for that week, to visit a friend of mine. Let me know how it turns out though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FarmerPotato Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I have a double that I can share. It is Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Opry99er gets first dibs. BTW. the group rate only shows King (single) available in our block. But the Hilton Honors program can get you a double reservation for the same price as our group rate. I did that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FarmerPotato Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) I see we have $178 to go to reach the goal to pay for the conference rooms! I will MATCH the next $50 in donations. So step up, make a donation! Go here: https://locu.li/CTIFriday Edited October 16, 2019 by FarmerPotato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that. Very much this. The rooms are double-occupancy, so those who want to attend but are more cost-conscious can buddy-up! 10 minutes ago, FarmerPotato said: I see we have $178 to go to reach the goal to pay for the conference rooms!

+OLD CS1 Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 For anyone who has not looked at the map, the hotel is one block up and two blocks over from the Evanston Library where the Faire is held. That is about a 10 minute walk, at most, so it is easy to get there and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Also, in regard to the rooms, I am not sure why it was only showing king availability. I just tried to book without signing into my honors account and it presented the double as available. In any case, if you have any problems booking you can give the hotel a call and they will take care of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Just want to confirm, if we book and then are unable to show up, if we cancel 24 or 48 hours before, we are not charged??? Got several things going on here on my end and not sure if I can make it this year. Beery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Reservation and donation complete. I'll be there late Friday (sometime in the evening, most likely), but I will be there, assuming the universe continues to cooperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got several things going on here on my end and not sure if I can make it this year. Beery I am very glad you asked, because the conversation I had does not match the contract. The contract states: "All individual reservation cancellations must be made 72-hours prior to scheduled arrival; otherwise the individual will be billed for one night’s lodging plus occupancy tax." So rather than two days you must cancel three days in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+9640News Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 OK, thanks for the info. Gotta run things by the wife tonight to decide on whether to make reservations tomorrow. She had surgery about 10 days ago and we are due for a follow-up visit with the neurosurgeon this coming Monday. Things are looking good, I just do not know if she will be able to be on her own for that length of time or not. Beery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
