Gaze upon how screwed we are, ye mighty, and despair.
Enter: The Round Rock Location. :cool: Thankfully, the Round Rock location is still available on that day and we have locked that reservation. There are caveats, though, like the 60 person capacity limit (the Driftwood location limit was 80). On the upside, the overall cost is lower ($35 per person instead of $43) and it is not in a dry county so they offer a full bar. Some days you eat the bear, and some days the bear takes a nap on your face. At the end of the day, we're still having Salt Lick BBQ on Sunday for lunch. :) We are working feverishly (read: not that feverishly) to tie up all loose ends and open registration on Friday. While that remains the goal, we'll see what actually happens. :) |

Do you have any gut feel yet for how many will attend the Do event? Based on posts here, hotel rooms reserved, etc?

Add a +1 from me to thank all you organizers for all the hard work. As far as the Aloft is concerned, we have just about booked out all of our allottment and since they are hosting two other large groups that same weekend, we aren't likely to get any more rooms there at the group price, so what is left is it. Anyone is free to avail themselves of the Westin or any other hotel in the area at whatever the going price is once the Aloft rooms are gone. The bus, however, will be leaving from the parking lot north of the Aloft in the Domain. There is plenty of free parking there. Best regards, William R.

One question I have is - will there be a waiting list & is the registration transferable? I'd like to attend & can sign up now, but if for some reason (ie, bizness) I couldn't make it, could I transfer my registration to someone on the waiting list? They would reimburse me for the fees I paid, and that would be done between us. The only thing the organizers would need to know is that instead of SkiAdcock it would be XX. Cheers. |

I'm guessing that $180 includes the Thurs dinner? Not everyone will be able to arrive in time for that.

I'm in. Where do I sign up to get miles for attending?

There is a waitlist for each event that has a capacity control which is sold out (only Perry's at the moment). If you select the event and are placed on the waitlist, you will have that spot on the waitlist reserved but you will not be charged for any event you're not confirmed to attend. If we either expand the number of people who can attend or if we have someone who is confirmed cancel their reservation, the next person on the waitlist will be cleared. When that happens, I will send a link to that person to go to the website and pay for that event. So, for the too long, didn't read crowd: yes, there is a waitlist. No, you will not need to transfer funds between people or anything else. I've built that in so you'll only pay for things you're confirmed to attend. :) |
