I got 12 rooms blocked off at the Ritz Carlton Pentagon City for a special "X5 World" rate. (Ricky Agrawal hooked up a group buy
). Please mention X5 World when you book, you'll get the rate, which will be $179 as opposed to $199. If there is a ton of interest, I'll see if I can grab some more rooms, but for now, 12 seems like the magic #. If reservations has any trouble with your request, tell them that the deal was set up through Lauren Epperly, then they can get straightened out.
I'll be sending a PM to everyone this evening who has declared their intentions to book there or who have already booked there with further details and instructions how to make sure you get the JV ghetto rate.
