BrickWorld - Hotel rooms?

Brickworld in Chicago is coming up soon. I need to make sure we have enough hotel rooms. Therefore I need to know who is going and will be staying with us at the Westin?

Please respond by this Friday, May 14th.

Thank you.

I am going. I wouldn't want to miss it.

Sign me up.

I'll be there barring some horrible catastrophe. Sign me up too.

Are there specific plans for transportation to BrickWorld? Was this discussed at one of the meetings I missed?

I am driving and can easily take 2 other people. I may take the trouble of removing my back seat to create more space (SPACE!) and re-install the other 2/3rds of the middle seat. I could then take 3 others easily and 4 others if the 3 in back don't mind being cozy for 12 hours...

KC is driving but I don't remember when she is leaving. She isn't coming back the same week we are. It would make better sense if she could take MOCs.

Who else is driving to Chicago?


Mike Tighe

I think I'd like to ride with you again if I can, Mike.
I'm hoping to take up less cargo space with my MOCs this year.

-Chris

I would also like a ride, Mike. I will only be bringing trains, so it should only be two or three small plastic containers of cargo.

I can borrow that car-top carrier from my dad again. We might want to use it this time.

-Chris

So far I have 6 people staying at the hotel:

Cale
Chris
Nate
KC
Trevor
Mike T

I have booked (the last) two rooms, each with 2 queen beds for 5 nights.

The room rate is $118.95 + 12% taxes (Ouch!) = $133.20/room/night

Split 3 ways each room equals $44.40 per person per night (plus tip).

We can double up on the queen beds or take turns sleeping on the floor.

I think KC will be arriving Thursday or Friday. I will confirm with her.

If we don’t mind 4 in 1 room I can change the arrival date for the second room. I don’t know that we want to cram all 6 in one room for 5 nights…

Transportation:

It looks like I may have 3 people riding with me* – Cale, Chris & Nate. KC will be driving herself as is Tony, I think.

I would like to leave my place at 8:00am (read as 9:00-ish) Wednesday, June 16th. It is a 12-13 hour drive so with stops we should arrive around 9:00pm or 10:00pm.

We should arrive back probably close to mid-night Monday, June 21st.

*I will work on removing my rear seat to make more room for MOCs and booty. KC can probably transport some things. I do't know about Tony's cargo capacity.
