meanwhile, if anyone wants to buy a book of matches, i'll be setting up shop in front of the wrigley field sign on addison & clark for the next few weeks. Where'd you go?? Did you go to the West Indian Day Parade?! I couldn't make it!! me neither and it was right near my house! i could hear it from my bedroom where my boyfriend and i were busy urm missing the parade. | |

Hey, maybe she can put me in the list that includes the org's biggest moochers that will be in Mpls. in October. I'm sure I'll run out of money again at some point and have to borrow $20 again from SOMEONE.

Hotels It appears something big is happening in Mpls other than just our Org invasion. CarrieMpls and I have been searching for hotel rooms and have had some troubles... What we have found is through Expedia.com. We suggest doing the same search through Expedia for Minneapolis and the dates you'll be staying and choosing from the following hotels May I recommend that the organizers call one of the suggested hotels and see if a special group rate can be negotiated? We (i.e., my ex-wife and I) did this for our wedding. It may even possible to have some rooms blocked off for Invasion attendees to reserve, at least temporarily.

Ex-Moderator | I would be willing to call tonight and see if I can block some rooms as long as I don't have to leave some sort of deposit. Since there are LOTS of maybes and not lots of confirmed yet (and most of the confirmed already have places to stay) I don't wanna end up losing money or anything.
Hopefully, it'll all work out! |

Oh, definately count me as confirmed. I even have somewhere to stay and transportation. I have a friend who lives in downtown Minni and drives an A6. Hate me now! | |

Hopefully, it'll all work out! well after you suggested the hotels, i just booked flight with hotel to save some money, so it is a good idea to cal the hotel and save a block off, but i am not sure how many more people there are going to be | |

Ex-Moderator | MORE HOTEL INFO
Alright, so the Ramada Inn would not offer a group rate for less than 8 rooms, and at this point I don't know that we'd need that many. Their website shows as booked, but there are rooms available for them through expedia. The Radisson Plaza said they could offer me their Viking Victory deal with rooms for $129 (she wasn't sure how many of those were left, next price up was $149) which includes free parking. I can reserve as many rooms as I like (my guess was 5-6) and as long as I cancel any unused rooms by 6pm the day of scheduled check-in, I won't be charged. One thing to keep in mind is expedia was quoting a price of $119 a room, so it'd be cheaper through them (they probably reserve their own rooms somehow). The Radisson Metrodome said they were booked, but we found rooms available there through expedia. Cheaper that way too. So there's that. If people would like me to reserve a set of rooms (for peace of mind) at the Radisson Plaza let me know, but the better deals seem to be coming through expedia. |
