Perkins, the "running out of rooms" meant only that we'd filled the initial block: that is, we'd already booked 10 for Thursday night, 25 each for Friday and Saturday nights, and 5 for Sunday night. The HOTEL isn't running out of rooms, and in fact, can add as many more to our block as we need, according to her, at that same rate.
Would I would like, please, is some cooperation from anyone who tries to reserve a room between now and my meeting with Eva next Wednesday, and who is told there are no more available at the discount block rate. If that happens, don't worry - she'll fix it. But I need to know if that happens so that we can add additional rooms at the good rate, yes?
Prod him hard. Beep his nose if necessary (he should see how it feels to be on the receiving end of a nose-beep every once in a while).
I cannot even begin to express just how totally (in fact inexpressibly) kick-ass it would be to go thrift and vintage shopping with Jilli in SF.

Hee!
I just sent him email. Of course, once he reads that, I will probably be in for retaliatory nose-beeping when I get home.
Oh good. Thanks!
Welcome. I should make clear, though, that our cutoff date is still 16 April. If you book after that, you pay full hit.
Sorry, Deb. I probably should've just emailed you directly instead of alarming everyone.
For your talk with Eva, I told the woman on the phone that I didn't need the block rate for Sunday night if that was the problem and she said, "No, ma'am. We simply don't have *any* double rooms with two beds for Sunday May 21st."

Hmmmm. Back on the phone with Eva, then....
So, Sunday was the problem night? Stoopid B2B...
Ah. Nicole, Eva's going down personally and block-hold five extra two-bedded double rooms for Sunday night.
Drew and I are booked for Friday and Saturday night, but I know he's planning to come earlier. I should poke him and see.
So excited for the par-tay!!
Oh, and because I was on the other end of the hotel planning last year, a sincere thank you to Deb for dealing with it this year.
I'm really liking this whole "just attending" thing...
