Why would a Buffista Muffaletta Slounge? It's a cool word.
Er, I think that's my fault. For it was discovered at the first F2F in Chicago that I have a talent for bad posture and a gravity-defying slounge.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I wouldn't list it as a fault, really. More like your revolution in chair-sitting.

I just made plane & hotel reservations for New Orleans! FAQ Girl is coming! We're arriving Thursday morning and leaving Monday morning.
Just one problem: The room rates we were quoted were across the board $10 more than in this post - KristinT "F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?" Dec 30, 2004 3:50:48 pm PST - the woman claimed she was reading from the contract. Kristin?!
t on edit The rates I was quoted were
Singles Doubles Triples Quads
$119.00 $119.00 $139.00 $159.00

Jon, I have a copy of the contract dated 12/30 and it clearly shows the rates at $109/$109/$129/$149. I'd call them back and have them check the date on the contract they have. The representative from the hotel was Marvin Andrade.

ND -- I called again and the woman told me to tell the "group leader" to contact Marvin Andrade (she gave me his name without my prompting). She's "just in reservations and has no control over what she's got". Would you mind contacting Marvin and straightening it out? I'm in no hurry -- it doesn't need to happen today -- but we should probably take care of it soon before more folks call.

Okay, we'll get on it.

Okay, Kristin called Marvin and it should be all worked out with the new rates. Give them about 15 minutes to make sure that the word makes it down the chain and then you can call back and check on it.

Drive by post: Jon, sorry about that. The original contract had had the wrong numbers on it (the ones you listed), and I'd had Marvin revise it before I signed. He had forgotten to go down and fix it with the reservations desk. In any case, it's all set now. Let me know if you (or anyone else) has any more problems.

Thanks guys, and no worries. I'll call again tomorrow morning and let you know how I fare.

Ann, that's a ferret.
You may remember a few weeks back, when I said that I'd likely be in Chicago next week.
Well, it's official. I'll be there from 1/10 until 1/14.
Any chance of a F2F some evening?
