I'm not convinced the girl I talked to had all her crayons in the box because she couldn't find anything with the ARA on it anywhere in their system. But I couldn't even get any kind of room...ARA rate or not. I would have preferred the Hilton since this is the first time in my entire life I am travelling anywhere alone. I would have preferred someplace I had stayed at before.<br /> It seems I have lived all of 2006 outside of my "comfort zone". This will be no different LOL <br /> Still totally stoked for the trip!!<br /> Take care<br /> Becky</p><hr /><a name="a5471_38"></a><p><b>From: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5471.38">#38</a>]<br /> 13 Dec 2006<br /><b>To: Becky (KIAIJANE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5471.37">#37</a>] 13 Dec 2006</p> <p>Becky,<br /> Call the Hilton back. If crayon girl answers, ask to speak to someone else. I do not believe that they are sold out. Try again. <br /> Most hotels have a 14 day cancellation policy, so you should be able to cancel you Embassy suites if you are in fact able to stay at the Hilton.</p> <hr /><a name="a5471_39"></a><p><b>From: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5471.39">#39</a>]<br /> 13 Dec 2006<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5471.1">#1</a>] 13 Dec 2006</p> <p>David,<br /> Here is a thought. Why not just take over Quarks? I don't mean the back room I mean the whole thing. Private party sort of thing. </p> <p> It's worth a shot.</p> <hr /><a name="a5471_40"></a><p><b>From: Becky (KIAIJANE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5471.40">#40</a>]<br /> 13 Dec 2006<br /><b>To: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5471.38">#38</a>] 13 Dec 2006</p> <p>Well as you suspected, the Hilton was not totally booked. I got the wrong girl on the wrong day. So, the Hilton will have one more resident.<br /> WOO HOO<br /> Let this be a lesson, if the person you are talking to doesn't even know what the ARA is, that should be a red flag that you need to speak to someone else. </p> <p>Ok, I am finished hijacking this thread.LOL<br /> Oh wait, 2 more cents..I second the motion for Quarks. Heck, there's nobody there most nights anyway.</p> <p>Thanks Chuck<br /> B</p><hr /><a name="a5471_41"></a><p><b>From: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5471.41">#41</a>]<br /> 13 Dec 2006<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>By the way, Becky pointed out to me that my picture is featured prominently on page three of the Education brochure for ARA.</p> <p>I just wanted you to know that I would be available to autograph your ARA brochure the night of the beach party. </p> <p>A generic autograph will be available for free. </p> <p>A premium personal autograph will be available for a fee.</p> <p>A picture with me (unframed) will be available as well for a fee.</p> <p>A Framed picture of you with me, personalized and SIGNED will be available for a LARGE fee. </p> <p><br /> These items are sure to become collectors items so be sure to reserve your space today. </p> <p>Call NOW to reserve your space.

I was thinking I had it all sewn up with staying at the Somerset House across the street. That way - too many drinks - still can find my way home! Now I'll have to wander a bit before finding my home away from home.</p> <p>We've used convention center rooms after hours in past years for meetings, but nothing where we've brought food in. The convention center is very difficult to deal with in regards to doing anything out of the ordinary or using it after hours. Too many times you get locked in or out of the center, which is a big pain when you have to walk all the way around to find someone to open a door.</p> <p>Since so many people from the awards industry are staying at the Hilton, I don't see why the Hilton would not be open to providing one of their smaller meeting rooms that would hold about 100 people. There shouldn't be much of a cost if they provide the food for a small fee.</p> <p>I thought that was a good thought too about finding out who is taking over the Beach and do the new owners what to have us there? Is the Beach closing with no reopening, or is it reopening under a different name?<br /> How dead is that place after December David? Is it completely gone and don't bother with it, or is there a possibility of still being there but under new management?</p> <p>Cindy M</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 14 Dec 2006 by CINDYM</p> <hr /><a name="a5471_49"></a><p><b>From: LipChip</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5471.49">#49</a>]<br /> 14 Dec 2006<br /><b>To: Becky (KIAIJANE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5471.35">#35</a>] 14 Dec 2006</p> <p>The Embassy Suites is directly across the street from the convention center. The also serve a very good breakfast. I've used my Marriott rewards and traded out for that location several times. It is a great back up when your not able to get in the Hilton. </p> <p>I thought I'd mention that Marriott also has a place that is right around the corner from the Beaches location, we also also stayed there last year for one of the trade shows we went to. They also have a good restaurant.</p> <p>Thought I'd mention these places if others need back ups in case the Hilton does feel up.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 14 Dec 2006 by LIPCHIP</p> <hr /><a name="a5471_50"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5471.50">#50</a>]<br /> 14 Dec 2006<br /><b>To: Cindy (CINDYM)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5471.48">#48</a>] 14 Dec 2006</p> Cindy,<br /> <br /> Unless a demolition is planned, it's unlikely that the club itself is going away.<br /> <br /> Who knows?
