Moo! Flap! Hug!
Okay, hotel numbers. Before I write the numbers, here are four facts:
1. The hotel cut us an awesome deal on the insanely expensive streaming room, the Crown Suite, and the practice room beside it;
2. I had hoped to get the costs lower, but...
3. ...Loren and Anna are going nuts trying to get corporate sponsors in Edmonton, and I'm searching around Vancouver for the same, to cut these costs down; and,
4. These room costs include an amazing breakfast buffet (I'm not talking the soggy eggs crap you get at most hotels; this is a square meal everyday).
We have:
- 10 quad rooms reserved for $154 a room, which includes free breakfast. These can have up to four people occupying. I'll let people room up as they see fit; if you have fewer than four people in a room, the per-person cost goes up.
- 3 couples rooms for $114 a room, which also includes breakfast. These are for the three couples attending (Pox+Poxwife, Lag+Mercury, Essentia+Denton)
- Shared costs: The streaming room plus the rooms on either side of it (a condition of our rental; one will be the practice room, and I haven't decided what to do with the other yet, but I'm sure we'll find a good use for it). $1008 per night.
Yes, that last number is big, but that's what Loren, Anna, and I are going to be working on in trying to attract corporate sponsors.
We're also trying to attract local restaurants who could support us with food. We have a few restaurants "biting" so far. No confirmations, but I'm going to be following up later this month. So, hopefully we'll minimize food costs for attendees. We have a couple of awesome local restaurants that have expressed interest.
Cheers!
