They say weird things don't they? But all the rooms are non-smoking, but with balconies, from last I talked to them.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
We are now at 13 people, and climbing for nail appointments. What I would like to suggest is seeing if we can extend the range of appointments and some of us (those not going to Alcatraz, most likely), tack our appointments at the end. We can still go and hang out with people (with wine!) (or maybe absinthe), but then we stand a better chance of actually being able to fit everyone in.
What do people think, and who would be willing to go later?

Sounds like an eminently practical plan, Perkins. I'd like to reserve an earlier appt. since I'm with the Alcatraz peeps.
Sparky, thanks for that! Ima give them call.
edited to credit the right person. duh.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Since I'm not an Alcatraz-goer, I'd be happy to take a later appt.

I checked with the in-house reservations person, who confirmed that it's a nonsmoking room. The main reservation people are apparently clueless.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I'm also headed to The Big House, so need the earlier end of the appointment spectrum. Assuming that I can figure out the vagaries of Public Transportation. Which I have every confidence I can do.
Oh, maybe I should come down earlier to the hotel so I could maybe leave a few of my Alcatraz layers in someone's room or the HS until needed.
I may be looking for a Friday lunch companion (or twelve)...I sense a plan beginning to come together.
