Drop an email to Sean, he’ll give you the name of who to talk to at the Aloft. You’ll probably have to wait till Monday though. We went through this last year as well. There should be more rooms.
Hey g, sorry for the hiccup. I’ll get involved Monday and beat some people down for you. We’re getting about half their normal rate so they get trigger happy with the ‘it’s full’ thing. When you do call back ask for Erin Martin she’s the Sales Coordinator for Aloft Plano t. 214.474.2520 ext. 2 or email @ Erin.Martin@aloftplano.com
But as I said, I’ll beat some people down monday.
Jbob’s right. DM Sean and he can help you next week. This shouldn’t be the case.
Sean, quick question- what is the GWC rate supposed to be? I was quoted $89 a night when I booked Thursday to Sunday. Is that correct?
HOORAY! Can’t wait to meet you!
Hey Reg,
Yep $89 is correct. The normal rate is $150 - $180 with a Hotwire or Hotels.com rate of about $120. so we are doing pretty good.
Also, for everyone else I called this morning. Mischief managed. Smackdown applied. We shouldn’t see that issue again. If they do lemmie know. Rock on and can’t wait to see everyone!
YAY! It worked! Room is reserved, got confirmation from the wife and the boss (they’re two different people in this instance), so I am 100% meetup bound. All I need now is a roommate.
Thanks! We really are getting a great rate for the hotel. They seemed very nice and accommodating when I was there two years ago as well.
Awesome! Also, does anyone know if Raemani is the Mistress of Roommates and All Things Logistical again? If so, Scopehound, send her a DM letting her know that you have reserved a room for which specific nights and you would be most pleased to have a roommate.
ICAN’TWAITICAN’TWAITICAN’TWAIT! Is it March yet?!?!?!?!
Yes, Raemani said she is gonna do that as we get closer, you know, because she is teh ossim. I was just stating that in case anyone wants to get a jump on it.
Quick note: the meetup site is live now. You can find a link in the top menu on the GWC site. We’ll be adding more detail, but the schedule is posted.
All taken care of 
No worries, man! It’s kind of like this for ‘new’ as well as veteran meetup folks:
Go ahead- click on it. 
Yeah, I’ve met both those guys, and they hug like this all the time. It’s fun, but weird when you’re trying to get into the men’s room…
In all seriousness. Come to the Meetup. You will love it, and you’ll never feel more welcomed anywhere that you’ve ever, ever been.
Yay! Albatross and I are very excited for our first International Meetup!
Looking forward to meeting you both. And Topgun, Albatross and I can have a Birthday triplet mini-meetup!
Someone needs to make time move forward faster, but only till the meetup.
Sorry, broke my Cosmic Treadmill last week.
