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?

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.

Since I'm not an Alcatraz-goer, I'd be happy to take a later appt.

I would be early Perky as I am going to jail.

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

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.

Yippee!!!! ::bounce bounce::

I'll give you a hint with this quote from South Park: "Dude! Why are the Germans so fucked up?!?"

Although I feel a bit guilty about the pink; I suspect that blue would have been more becoming for a Science guy.

Just think of it as the color his face gets when he's working up to a good rant or panic.

I'm really hoping this pulled neck muscle or whatever sorts itself out tomorrow, because my travel plan includes lugging a very heavy backpack which cannot be carried in some way that doesn't put strain on one's shoulders.

You should go to Lush Life Nail Bar on Fillmore (just off Union, between Cow Hollow and the Marina). $25 for a pedicure, foot massage, etc that's worthy of Buff Spa.

I totally saw this place today at some point in time. I distinctly remember perking up at "Lush" and I was on Fillmore.

I would describe our pace as "leisurely."

Except at the end when I had to pee like a mofo.

I KNOW TEPPY'S PRESENT!!!!

SO such fun had today. oddly enough, not sunburned.

but, maybe drunk. a little.
