So Seattle has a lot of mini-PAXes, but the main event is here too.
While some Seattle people have room to crash, others would prefer to be right in the action itself.
(This includes me, since I live in Bellevue)
So Polago and I are going to try and get an entire floor of rooms secured at a hotel for PA forum folk.
Here are the current ideas:
1. It would be for forumers (and their direct guests) only. The reason is we'd want a floor where we could party without waking/disturbing others.
2. We are ESTIMATING the costs right now, just so we have some numbers to work with.
The amount we are going on is $165 per room per night, which works out to about $5000 total for a floor of 30 rooms for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.
If you have 4 people in your room, that works out to
$123.75 per person (without hotel fees/tax)
3. Obviously not everyone has to do this, but a large number of us enjoy the "WOO PAAAAAX" parties. A hotel will clean up after us and people don't have to worry about being evicted this way. Ahem.
:-)
4. We are going to look into all of the downtown hotels if we have interested people, but The Sheraton & The W both are topping the list of places to check into.
If you are interested, say so or contact Polago or myself. We'd like to see who (if anyone) would be up for this before we take it "up the chain." Obviously if you think it is a bad idea but have suggestions on what would improve it, let us know that too.

I really liked the one Bogey stayed at, though I can't recall its name
The Sheraton downtown is the one the $165/night rate is from, but any of them would probably be willing to do it.
The big issue is whether or not we can get X people to agree to it ahead of time.
We would need to get the block done -before- the hotel rooms go public for PAX, to ensure we get them all together.
I thought the W or whatever was basically sex made into a hotel
from what i'd heard
i didn't get to go in
Well, cash that is
there are certainly other ways to pay, yes?
Absolutely not.
lordy, my colon just might remain intact after all
Especially after almost getting kicked out of the Crowne Plaza last year.
I think that can be dealt with on a room-by-room basis.
I wouldn't mind fronting a bit more to help out people in my room if they couldn't pay as much.
Its more of a "Would people WANT this sort of a thing??" question.
A) college.
nah
t B.C. Yes, the hotel would be a delightful warzone by the end of it.
so that later I will be in on the top floor? Anyway I'm interested yes
This is where I stopped reading.
Longshot rounds flying in between rooms.
Designate a couple rooms for Guitar Hero/Rock Band so we can keep those off limits.
Good christ I hope I have a job waiting for me when I return to Tucson because I need to start saving money.
You hate people anyway, so this does not change anything.
nah probably not
i mean, it's neat for a whole "we won't wake anyone up" thing
but what if I want to go to sleep
It's very quaint how you need a big group of people to rent out a floor to a hotel. Maybe if you guys were rich you could do it by yourself
Sometimes I do it by myself two or three times a day
I don't think every room would be a party room. Likely we would have a few rooms that the people want wild parties (Bogey's room, probably :P) and other people can sleep as they wish.

You're drawn to my eccentric Brawl Code: 4596 9143 4529
Yet you still live with your parents.
That must save you some money.
t Munkus: that's no arm
almost did this last year with captain k and bombsy anyway - hope i can do it this year with similarly awesome people
it'll probably be difficult to actually pull together but let me know if you need any help
of course I don't need a room since I'm three blocks from the convention center
I don't know what this means.
it was hard enough getting everyone to walk down the street
this will be impossible
moe does.

Yeah, I have had a good deal while finishing up college. Another good money saver is not wasting cash on rhythm games and piss beer
Gotta work hard for the good stuff to happen.
The Seattle people get 'er done.
You out of town homps didn't do shit, so just say if you're interested or not.
We will handle the rest.
The W would be the best place for this to happen, except that we'd be looking at a larger cost among other things, and the Sheraton already has experience with the PAX crowd, and consequencially the PAX crowd with it.
It means that he selflessly took position at our door an had to turn back about 200 people since somebody went walking around PAX with a sign with our room number on it, indicating "party over here!" Causing a disastrous crash and burn.
