Northern Wish Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Help me!I am on priceline, but it wants me to make an offer on hotel room that I don't know where it is.Is this standard?Where is everyone staying? I need reasonable accomodations for Thurs, Fri and Sat for at least 2 of us.Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I had the same experience.At Basher's recommendation, I bid 57 USD on a three-star hotel. There are no guarantees which one you'll get, but if you choose Ottawa it will be decently located, and all the three-star hotels are great.My offer was accepted at that price, as was Basher's, but he and I ended up with different hotels.Go for it.

Northern Wish Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Do you mind if I ask where you guys ended up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Not at all.I'm at The Crowne Plaza. (I don't think I should publicly post where Basher is staying, though, unless he wants to do so himself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Me too!Crowne Plaza is where the party is.......Don't tell Basher, but I bashed him. I got the room for $52 a night.Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I'm at teh Marriott. I made my bid based on other wins for that weekend - I usually get pissed when my first bid is accepted because I know I would save a few bucks, but with the Marriott listed at $170 a night plus tax, $57 was fine by me.

bouche Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 The Marriott for $57 and the Crowne for $52 are great deals! They're also right across the street from each other.BTW, Ollie, Barcode, Freak By Night and myself all work right by there in case you guys are in early on friday for lunch or something.

ollie Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 keep me in mind for lunch!! It will be my second last day downtown! Sounds like a good idea. Keep us posted of your travel plans you out-of-towners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Good to see people are planning ahead. I hope everyone has got their lodging worked out because no one, I repeat no one is staying here. We plan on keeping the house shut down that weekend and doing some hotel room partying as much as possible.If you haven't booked rooms for the weekend yet I suggest doing it as soon as possible.

bradm Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 We plan on keeping the house shut down that weekend and doing some hotel room partying as much as possible. Dang. I spaced on the last nero after-party at THAT PLACE, and was hoping to atone for that in at least a small way next weekend. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 How do you "space" on a party that lasted 5 days?I fully intended to go (I even discussed it with Pootie Tang* at Mavericks). After the show, it took me a little while to pack up, and when I got to the sidewalk, there was nobody (I knew) there, and a cab came by. I got in, mumbled the name of a destination close to my home, and we were off.I woke up later that morning, muttered a few expletives at myself for having missed THAT PLACE, and went about my New Year's Day business, never even considering the possibility that the party would still be going on.Brad lets make this the year you give up heroin, k bud?I'm aiming to use 50% of the heroin I used in 2006.Aloha,Brad* Is Pootie Tang in town?

Calamity Jane Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I have this "entertainment book" thingee and thought we could get a better or equal deal to those posted above, but t'was not the case. We will also use this system, I believe, but just clarify for me: you have NO way of specifying preference? We really want to be where the party's at, obviously. (Hell, you'll all need me around to start it! ) What about other outta towners? Where are people staying? Has anyone found a hotel with a whirlpool? The Crowne has a pool and sauna which is a good start.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 40 Main is Shut Down? I have no problem with this, as it sounds like there are lots of parties across the region.I am in for lunch on Friday, and for just about anything else all weekend. Is anyone interested in hitting the Sens Canadiens game on Saturday afternoon? My ride and I are going to go.I will have my cell with me that I will be using to intercept phone numbers, so if you could PM me I can enter the Ontario #s so they come through.I can't wait to see you all,Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
