    so...do we need to call and independently reserve, mentioning icrontic and the group rate, or is there some other method?

    Assuming we had enough people, we were going to be mentioning IC at registration and the block rooms would have already reserved.
  • @primesuspect This is kinda getting to the point we need to know if this is happening or not...

    From what I know, 15 was a hard minimum. It looks like we only have 14.

    Several folks currently signed up for rooms have also said they would also prefer to put hotel money towards AC units for the ICHQ attic instead, so they don't need to commute at all.

    Unless a 15th room gets claimed by the end of the weekend, I'd say that's a good point to say "sorry, we didn't make the group rate" and move forward with individual hotel rooms / attic AC units.

    Doesn't solve the shower restriction tho, so you guys better take 'em damn quick. :p

    One shower. 50 people. This is not going to be pretty. We may need to make a schedule for showers.

    I'm currently working on a plan to seduce the hotel staff and secure the group rate and possibly own the hotel. I will keep you all updated on this endeavor.

    Let's crowdfund a decon chamber at ICHQ2. Except instead of decon, it's a 360 degree Febreeze chamber. SMELL FRESH, BITCHES.

    50 people times 20 min per person is 1000 minutes, divided by 60 minutes per hour is over 16 hours per day of bathroom time. Alternate day shower schedule?
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian
    More like 35-40 people staying in the house. And I'm thinking more like 10 minutes for dudes (except @Myrmidon, because, let's be serious). Gotta go fast.

    Is there a floor drain in the basement that works?

    Edit: Pfft, apparently full permanent showers are the same price.
  • Would it actually save money for you guys if you all pitched in $5 or whatever and just got an empty 15th room?

    Possibly. It looks like comparably cheap places are 20-30 minutes away and would cost me $5-$10 a day to drive to.

    I'm also not sure there's even room for everybody in the attic even if we added a shower.

    15th room Single w/ group rate: 45/night * 4 nights = 180 / ~17 people = ~ $10/person to keep your group rate - potential auction of spare room to someone who otherwise would have stayed at ichq, and it becomes maybe $5/person to keep your group rate.

    Otherwise everyone is going to pay another $30 at least without the group rate. Somebody really should just get the room, then auction it off, and try to get 5-10$ off everyone else staying there.

    If nothing else charge $5.00 / shower to ichq slumlords in your spare room.

    I might be able to secure the group rate with 14 rooms. Let me check.

    Even not showing up, I'd be willing to pitch in $10 for the empty room just to ensure the group rate gets utilized. It's $10...I can miss one day of my weekend afternoon coffee and egg-white samiches from the DD

    I see on the excel sheet that all fifteen rooms are taken. Does this mean we're good to go?

    There are 11 singles booked and 3 doubles, still 14. If we can't get the deal for 14 I agree with all pitching in just a little extra just to have 15. Their regular price appears to be $60 for a single room and $75 for the doubles, so we'd all be saving still if we did that.
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    I also agree to pitch towards the 15th room as required
  • RyanFodderRyanFodder Detroit, MI Icrontian
    Fixed.
