by "worse things" would you mean:
having the hotel room door opened at 8am by a stranger, because the cheap ass $20 a night (canadian) hotel that Sly drives you to has no locks....
or would you be referring to the porno that the same hotel plays as you wake up (two people buring someone in a grave, and then having sex on it)?

people actually still smoke?

Ok, imagine yourself waking up with the worst hangover you ever got in your entire life, and next to you there's someone lying in the bed...
A nudie bar girl with her white underpants, which has a streak of somthing brown right between the two ass cheeks....Now that's worst, even damn scary!!! Try to beat that!!!
BTW, it wasn't me but one of my friends that told me his story...still gives me goosebumps just to imagine it....
Humm...think Joe will either delete this message or simply move it into the "off topic" section.

So did all the PC4 people who had rooms at the Radisson get moved or only some people? I have a suite at the Scanticon (the other hotel in the center) so I'm having no problems. It'll suck if everyone got moved.
Tempest
apparently only the ones that got the discount rate. i am suspicious of this somewhat, since dave newman is also staying at the sheraton. i contacted him to bitch about the hotel procedure and he played it off as no big deal.

Yes, I got a WONDERFUL MESSAGE from the hotel this morning.
So, I call up to complain.
"I'm very sorry ma'am, but our computers crashed, and central reservations kept taking reservations and when they rebooted the computers they found out we were really overbooked."
"When did this happen?"
"I'm not really sure"
"I reserved over a month ago. You're giving me TWO DAYS NOTICE."
"I'm really sorry ma'am."
"You know, what really upsets me, besides the fact that your run your BUSINESS like this, is that you've given me so little notice of this DIRE problem your computers have, that I couldn't get another hotel if I wanted to. And if I had WANTED to, I could have found a better rate than ten dollars cheaper than your hotel!"
"I'm really sorry ma'am."
Hmm. I did not receive this phone call you all speak of.
Now that could be just great or really really bad. Obviously the last thing I want is to find this out when I get there. On the other hand, I don't necessarily want to call today and alert them to the fact that there's still a block of rooms they have not "moved" yet.
So I think what I'll do is sit tight. I don't know how well the "I'm sorries" are gonna work with John and I growling at the front desk.
Sick Sean and John on 'em, that should shut them up. There's a conversation I want to witness...So I think what I'll do is sit tight. I don't know how well the "I'm sorries" are gonna work with John and I growling at the front desk.
Just make sure you properly dispose of the corpses when you're done...
Seriously though, I've never heard of such a thing happening before. I can buy the excuse that their computers crashed, but you'd think that they would have figured this out more than two days before the convention. And why is it that people who booked over a month ago are getting moved? Are you telling me that the hotel was completely booked months ago and those reservations were made in error? I highly doubt that. It's the people who reserved only a few weeks ago that should get booted. They should start with the last people who reserved and then go down the list. Sounds like people decided to pay full price and they came up with this conveinient excuse to boot the discountees. This is such a load...
If this is the way the Radisson is going to treat their customers I suggest we all find a different place to stay next year. This is just unacceptable. >
Tempest
Here's a little suggestion, if you got a call on voice mail or answering machine and you haven't called back, don't. Just go there in person and feign ignorance when they tell you they overbooked and you have to go elsewhere. if you can act like a retarded person wiht a one track mind, pretend you don't understand and insist you want the key *now* because you're tired from long trip and sick from bad lunch.
The worse is that they call the police and throw you out.
I would also suggest you compile a list of people who called in and confirmed the reservations, when they called in, if they got discount rate or not, etc. etc. if there's a pattern I'm sure the BBB would be interested in knowing why certain people were booted and not just the last few reservation, or why they took a month to "notice" the overbooking.
Had this happened to me, I could have given them an extra dose of grief by communicationg only in the sign language and faking illeterate (can't read or write) if they called police on me, the police would confirm they can't throw me out because of communication difficulity and that they'd have to hire (at their own expense) a sign language interprenter. (American with Disibilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (sec. 504) and PA 204 of 1982.) They'd end up paying out of their pocket some $50 just to tell me they overbooked. >) >)
Another day, another dollar... wake me when it's payday.

You truly are a Crazy Imp, mon.
The party Friday night (and every day, night, etc.) will be at the DP/CGE booth!
See you there, beers in hand.
