    I understand that O'Hare is a bit of a monster. How much time would you guys estimate I would need on the layover to get from one plane to the other?

    On another note, if we're planning to hit up the concert thingy, what time should we gather to head that way?

    On another another note, is there sufficient transportation for everyone, or should some of us be looking at rental vehicles?

    ALRIGHTY, HOTEL.
    Call for your room, give a card: 410-290-7896 The name of the group is "GITP Group".

    It's the Springhill Suites Columbia (www.springhillsuitescolumbia.com) I got 6 rooms for the rate of $99/night and the conference room. 3 of the rooms are queen suites with 2 beds, 3 are kings with 1, all rooms have a pull-out couch for another full bed. I figured this'll do?

    The conference room is ours Friday afternoon after 3 PM, Saturday after 3 PM (we'll spend the first half of the day at the Renfest after all) and all of Sunday.

    You have up until the 19th of September to book these rooms at this rate. That's a week from this Friday.


    As for adequate transport, well, I'll find out this Friday if I'll be driving.

    I was planning on commuting from where I live (Fairfax, near DC) but I am willing to split a room with anyone. PM me if interested. Also PM me if you want me to pick you up from an airport (DCA, BWI, or IAD)

    Also lets get a count of people. my car can carry 7 plus me. Is anyone else driving up?

    GOOD NEWS, my previously supposed transportation issues are not going to be a thing! So I will be able to drive up to 4 people around in my little Honda.

    BAD NEWS, the hotel has ~suddenly decided~ it only has the conference room available on Friday. So we can game Friday prior to and after the concert. This is not the first time I've had this happen at this hotel. I'm going to check the hotel that is literally right across the parking lot for their event room status that weekend. IF we somehow can't get a conference room, I'll book an additional hotel room and we can play games in there.

    BOOK YOUR ROOMS BEFORE NEXT FRIDAY, GUYS, AND TELL ME WHEN/IF YOU DO.

    You have a Mercury Sable Wagon with the third-row rear-facing seats? How cool :D

    I have fond memories of my family roadtrips to FL with my sis and I in the rear-facing seat... No one makes wagons with them any more (certainly due to safety regs; if you get rear-ended, it's better if the kids aren't literally in the trunk).

    Sadness!

    I do not know yet if we're getting a room or staying with friends. I'm going to say probably staying with friends, since money's a little tight at the moment. I'd originally said that we wouldn't be getting in until nearly 7 so would be late for concert, but we're going to try to arrange things that we fly to mpls Thursday so can get in earlier on Friday. It's really ridiculous, even if we fly out of here at like 7am, 6:30pm is the earliest we can get to Baltimore.

    The concert is approximately an hour away from the hotel. So, we'd probably want to gather there and leave by 6ish or so. We'll be renting a car, but there's 4 of us, 2 of them in car seats, so probably not going to be driving anyone with us. Well, we could maybe take one skinny person.

    Free Room who wants it

    I just got my room at Springhill Suites for Friday and Saturday night checking out Sunday

    I used my points so I didn't pay. It is 2 queen beds and a sofa bed.
    I am taking one queen. I Offer the other queen and the sofa bed to whoever wants it for free. (if you want to pay me gas money for all the driving I am doing that would be great, but not required)

    To repeat, I am offering 2 free beds (Queen and sofa bed) for Friday night and Saturday nigh.
    Let me know if you want one of them them.

    So hey, what's the best airport to get a ride from on Friday? Also a ride to on Monday. Also times of arrival/departure. They are all priced similarly so it doesn't matter to me which one at all (though DCA is ever so slightly cheaper and has direct flights from here, it's not a big enough difference to matter).

    Well I was gonna get my own room, but the call center that handles reservations can't seem to find the group for the group rates. I don't understand why they need a call center to handle reservations. Why not someone that actually works in the hotel I'm trying to stay at?

    I suppose it's possible that I called too late and they closed the group, but shouldn't they still have been able to find it?

    Either way, I suppose I'll just take up Isaac's offer and stay in the free room. Though I wanted to stay Sunday night and leave Monday. I'll get a room for just Sunday night if I have to.

    I got the hotel, but they transferred me to a call center to make reservations. I might have called too late. Really it's my own fault for putting it off like I did.

    Alright, I'm scheduled to land at BWI at 3:50pm on Friday. Departing at 1:55pm on Monday.

    I should really stop waiting so long to book flights. When I checked prices before, they were about 50$ less. I think my subconscious really doesn't like seeing people so it tries to sabotage me. Gotta work on that. *grumblestupidintroversionbull****grumble*
