In terms of the contract, here are some final important details you should all be aware of:
We have a block of rooms reserved for each night. Here are the numbers: Thurs. 5/19--10 rooms. Friday and Saturday 5/20-5/21--19 rooms. Sunday 5/22--5 rooms. These are ballpark numbers, I know, but I'm walking a fine line. If I reserve too many rooms and we don't fill 90% of our reserved block, we end up being responsible for the difference...so it will be first come, first serve for room rates. However...if the rooms fill up quickly, I can also probably negotiate with Marvin for more at the reduced rate. The absolute cutoff date to get the reduced rate if the block doesn't sell out early is April 20, 2005.
To make a reservation, call 1-800-535-9111 or 504-581-7300. Please identify yourself as part of your group (4th Annual Buffistas F2F Meeting) when making reservations. You cannot make a reservation at the reduced rate online; you'll have to so it by phone. (From the contract): A first night’s deposit by check or credit card will be due 10 days after the reservation is made to guarantee the room. Individual cancellations or changes must be received by May 6, 2005 or a first nights room rate will be forfeited.
Rates: Singles Doubles Triples Quads $109.00 $109.00 $129.00 $149.00 My guess, though, is that you could get away with booking a double and having a third person sharing one of the beds. Not that I would encourage such sneakiness, of course.
