Cool! quick cab ride!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Perkins! I would love both a mani and pedi if possible. If not I will go tomorrow or Thursday. It was on my list but I just couldn't manage. Crazy since my beloved SIL owns a nail salon. She yelled at me for not making time to see her.

Alas, I will have to work on Friday afternoon because there are two other people taking off that day from my department.
Will someone please volunteer to meet Epic at a BART station or other convienent location so I can point her in the right direction on Friday?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I have been having a strange conversation with the hotel. I realized when I printed out the confirmation that it said "smoking." I called the reservations people, who said that, while it does say in my reservation that I requested "no smoking," they can't guarantee a nonsmoking room because I'm part of a group. The person I originally made the reservation with didn't say any such thing.
WTF? Has anyone else run into this?

Ginger, yes. I originally booked a king room, but wanted to change to a double/double. I was told that they couldn't make any changes to my reservation because I was part of a group and the group rate expired. If they did make changes, it would knock the rate up to the regular rate.
They ended up putting a note in the record requesting a change to double on check-in.
V. strange.

They say weird things don't they? But all the rooms are non-smoking, but with balconies, from last I talked to them.

I did, too, Ginger. I thought Deb talked to Lilibeth about it and was assured we'd all get non-smoking rooms, but I think the folks in reservations just don't have a clue.

WTF? Has anyone else run into this?
Ginger, I ran into this when I booked months ago. Deb gave the following instructions for the fix:
Here's what you do:
1. Call the HICC directly. Phone number is 415.626.6103
2. Ask for Inhouse Reservations
3. Tell them Buffistas and give them the dates. Tell them your preference.
4. If anyone experiences any difficulty, let me know. Don't suffer in silence. Making this as easy and as stress-free an experience as possible is part of the point-person gig, but I can't do it if no one tells me about a problem, okay?
