bump whats going on

If they can't get a good deal on the hotel, why not camp out. I look it up, lots of places by the lake.

Count me in, sounds fun!

Bump for new info and commitment thinking.

ok guys I know I've been ghost on the site for a bit, but please forgive me for that. This is still planned to happen and I'm looking forward to seeing old faces as well as new ones. I've updated the first post or this thread with info as of this morning.

Now down to business;

*Hotel Rooms
So in the pass this has been tricky with people backing out or not planning and at the last minute saying they need a place to sleep. With that said if that's how you roll I wont judge but for the rest that are planning on attending and want the best room rates and no hassles without last minute arrangements to worry about listen up.

If you're planning on sharing a room with a friend/XRU citizen please discuss and plan that over this month. If you're planing on having your own room and/or want a roommate for the weekend please also discuss and plan that over the rest of this month as well.

Reason being is on March 1, 2011 I will be requesting everyone that needs a room (ie is the person paying for that room/responsible for the room), at the group rate (that we're sorting out shortly and with luck posted before said date), to put your name down on a official booking list so we know how many rooms to set aside for the event. (please dont start your own list just wait til 1 March 2011 for the official one)

Also to prevent people from requesting a room and dropping out we will be setting up a deposit system for the rooms (more info on how this will work to follow on a later date). This will be setup to insure that the person helping us out on the slamming rates doesn't get screwed in the process of helping out his fellow XRU citizens. This deposit will not be asked for until everything with the rooms are set in stone and a separate account set-up for it, but you can be assured that by April 1 it will be. If you do not like this idea and have a better way to go about this feel free to pm me with your input and it will be taken under advisement.

Now of course if you want to pay full price for your room and be last minute go ahead and do your thing and I'll see you there. All the previous statements about the hotel are for the group dealing we're working out.

Advisement for last minute people: Lake Tahoe is a very busy place in the summer peek season! Rooms book up fast in almost every hotel with many events planned for every weekend with countless groups and clubs, so if you are going to attend it just many behoove you to join the group rates.

*Events
I listed the events Brett and myself are planning for group functions which WILL be set to a time table and said time table will be given to you on check-in. These events will be set-up to attend but if you find something better to do while your there by all means do your thing and join in the group activities when you feel like it. But I will follow the time table for all departures from the hotel for the events. Also you may note I didn't make a "mod" day do to the fact that they normally don't go to plan but if you really want to wrench in a parking lot go ahead and bring your tools.










I know all this structure I'm throwing up sounds drab and a bore but once X-travaganza kicks off it'll be far from it. In my experance well planned big events go much better then half planned ones, so hopefully I didn't scare all of you away and I'll have more info as the month of Feb progresses.

even camp sites book fast in summer peek season at Tahoe and many people hate camping. From past experience large camping style meets tend to be smaller and many times fall through due to lack of camping excitement. I have in the past tried to plan a X-fest with Brian (Lucky) when we were mods on the site but it fell through and deposit money I put out for it got wasted. It was a lesson well learned and I wont be repeating. But thank you for the in-put regarding camping vs. hotel.

I might not make this one. lots of stuff going on right now

Yeah I'm super stoked for July to get here can't wait

This needs to happen already, been looking forward to it for a while.

maybe here

Any news on hotel prices for that weekend :canada:

ok i've been thinking on the best way for this and this is the insurance policy I've think will help stream line this. So this is how it'll work;

I will be making a confirmed list to give to Jay to get the lowest rates possible at the hotel. Jay has let me and Brett know that once we get the list to him he'll get the hotel squared away. To get on the confimed list all you'll have to do is buy your ticket early.

What does this ticket get you?

The ticket will assure your dinner on Sat night and include your grab bag with itinerary, 1 raffle ticket and t-shirt.

Ticket pricing will depend on when you get it the time line will follow and pertains to the hotel as well.

$30 ~ March 14 - April 17 To get on confirmed list for hotel was well as lowest pricing on hotel rooms and for your ticket, plus 5 extra raffle tickets
$35 ~ April 18 - June 20 For ticket, plus 3 extra raffle tickets
$40 ~ June 21 - July 5 For ticket
$40 ~ July 6 - July 14 For dinner only no grab bag included

All ticket sales will be handled through PayPal once money is received you'll be added to the confirmed list. Please include your t-shirt size. The account being used to recieve funds is lenie_03@hotmail.com


Once Jay gets the confirmed list he can get the hotel pricing hashed out for those interested, if at that time you are not satisfied with the price of the rooms I'll issue a full refund to you and remove you from the confirmed list if requested until 2 weeks after that price is posted.

Please note that even though you're buying your ticket early in order to get the on the confirmed list you're still responsible for contacting the hotel when the go ahead is given to book your room, ie your booking your room not us. We're just keeping costs down for you.

were do i send my IOU lol sweet cant wait
