P-C, cool. Adding to list. I'm hope to get them to reserve about eight spaces for the evening. The spaces won't be free, but they'll hopefully be together and I may be able to get a reduced rate.
In the meantime, this may be useful:
From the hotel:
"Attached is a booking link to facilitate your attendees making reservations. Attendees may reserve your contracted rate directly through our reservation website by clicking below and entering the dates of their stay.
[link]
Please feel free to post this link on your website or communicate to your group as needed.
If guests wish to extend their stay outside of these dates, they will need to book a separate reservation on the web or contact hotel reservations directly at (415) 626-6103 ext 7303 .
Please advise your guests to make reservations as soon as possible. The rate will be available until April 16, 2006 as long as your group block does not fill."
OK - but really, the parking place thing is specifically aimed at people who are there for Prom, but not registered at the hotel at all. The idea is to have the hotel put a small bloc aside for Prom guests who aren't hotel guests; that way, people who are driving in just for Prom and leaving afterward won't have to try for parking or wander around SOMA in their corsets afterward. Not that locals would object, but still...
People actually staying the night are a whole 'nother ball of wax.
In that case, count me out of the needing parking, since I am rooming with Steph and Jess while I am around.
Perkins, I'll get the details of overnight parking for people who are just bunking for the night from Eva as we get closer. No worries.
So, thinking about the F2F custom schwag again and I have a question for you all: Is there a slogan, a catchphrase that fits? Not just something for SF, but some saying that has become prevalent on Buffistas in the last year?
I bow to the Empress, yet again.
I, personally, curtsey to the Empress.
I think Aimee just nailed it. Stone solid perfect.
