The OFFICIAL Washington, DC Meet Thread

[motordavid]

Not to belabor the Ritzo Hotel thing, but:

I've called twice to follow up on my orig res. I made
on their on line site, and have still not received a
"reduced"/group rate.

It's no big deal that the room is 20 or 30 more than the
semi-nonexistent group rate...as for JV having to cover
the rooms: NFW, imo.

Hell, I'd sleep in the car and bag the res. jes' to piss them
off.

NEway, if there is anything we can do, pressure-wise, let
me/us know.

Thanks, md. There's lots I could complain about with regards to the way they do bidness over there (they never got back to me with the right code word for the group rate for one), but I did manage to move your reservation into the group rate Eugene is the only one who I can't do it for, because he reserved a special "romance" package for his stay

And I thought you got mad at me for calling you a f*ck head! I guess you really like it when I talk dirty to you.

Give them a call, and ask them to charge us the normal rate, JV. You should not have to eat that cost...

I did my reservation at RC as my host backed off at last minute. The dudettes at RC told me today that the weekend rate is $199, so its only $20 difference, no biggie.

I will be there before you.

I'm trying to work it out to get my X detailed by www.waxmycar.com between 4:00 on Friday and noon on Saturday. JV says they do great work

Sunil: Did you get in with the "BMW X5WORLD" group rate?

[JV]

LeMans got the group buy, Michelle

Anyone else who wants to try to get that rate can call Melanie Zeleskie at the RC and beg. I wash my hands of it as of now.

The venue for Saturday has been changed. Follow the link below to my custom X page or see the first post in this thread.

Thanks.
