ROOMS BOOKED UPDATE

SVXNATION: 44 signed up as going
SVXWN: 17 signed up as going

Total: 61 people signed up?

Talked to the hotels today. Bre Calloway checked the list to give me an update.

Number of people actually booking rooms. ZERO
Number of rooms actually booked: ZERO

Percentage of rooms left: 100%

The hotel gave us 40 rooms per night and NOT ONE is spoken for... and only 99 days (14 weeks) to go. Subaru has asking questions so they can make their plans, and its embarrassing not to have answers.


THE DRIVE TO 100?

First off, John, I appreciate the effort you've been putting in to post information about the meet, and trying to keep track of people who will attend.

As you saw a few posts back, Earl said he made a reservation at the Hampton back in early November. Since Bre isn't seeing that, something is wrong. Perhaps the reservation is not flagged as being part of the SVX group? Might that be the case for other people too?

Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one who is looking at the dozen+ other nearby hotels for a lower rate. Some people may search even farther away, or at non-hotels (Airbnb, traditional B&Bs, camper sites, etc.). So it may be unwise for anyone to base plans on reservations logged at just the two "official" hotels.

In my case, I definitely plan to go, but I don't even know what car I'll use to get there (or if I'll decide to fly).

Spoke with a Earl today about this. He had meant to register at the hotel after he posted, but he forgot about it, as other personal things came up. I thought that maybe he wasn't registered as part of the group; so I gave her his last name and he did not show up. I called Earl and he confirmed it.

From the sign up list on the network, I gave her the last name of everyone I knew and no one showed up in their system.

I really don't care where people stay. I am just trying to find out if they are registered anywhere. Kenyatta White "trueblue" posted his intentions for a different hotel. Just want to see how serious the people on the signup list were to actually commit to staying somewhere

These hotels were picked based on our past experiences, and the large shared parking lot as a staging ground for all events that are scheduled. I know this combination worked extremely well for the 10th Anniversary.

Subaru needs an accurate number of attendees NOW if they have to schedule more than one factory tour on Monday. Following the actual bookings is the only way I can find out who is really committed

This is my last post on the subject. If the hotels don't fill their block, the rooms just drop off and bo back into their inventory, then members are on their own.

I wouldn't wait too long trying to secure alternative lodging at a cheaper rate, because he following week and weekend is a major Purdue event, including graduation.

I have a question.
Where are the events planned for? I have not seen an agenda.

If no one has booked at the "Official" hotels will they let the parking lot there be used?

I am about to book but would like to know what's happening first.

[Stevebsy]

I will be reserving for two ppl fairly soon at one of the official hotels.

[huck369]

I have not booked yet, but still plan on being there....I will probably look for an alternative motel, as 3 nights at $150 is more than I can afford...I'd rather be at the Official Hotel, but I have to go where I can afford..... But I WILL be there. (barring unforeseen issues)

Should I add a "rooms sharing" thread?

i strongly encourage room sharing whenever possible, especially for the younger members. I remember spending very little time in my room in 2002; a quick nap and minimal sleep, and a shower, etc.

Accommodations, plus gasoline and food add up quickly, even for the more affluent members.

Probably not a bad ideal...

As for me, I'll have my wife with me, so she would have to OK room sharing, which would mean it would have to be someone we (she) already knows......and there are a few people we know planning on going, so it is a possibility ...
