Not sure what was up with the Special Reserved Block of VHC rooms... all they had available were doubles @ $99/night. Works for me.
Now where's that countdown to mortality timer?

Re: Nearby Hotels
Well, it seems that your rate was cheaper than my "special convention rate," so good for you! What's an extra ten bucks toward having a fun weekend anyway?mikhailwatt wrote:Well, I'm officially booked at the same fine establishment as the rest of you degenerates!

Re: Nearby Hotels
The best web rate I could get, using my AAA - (NOT AARP, Mike B.) discount, was $123. The VHC group rate saved me a few bucks. Plus, as I understand it, all the "official" VHC guests will receive SuperDuper Presidential Penthouse Corner Suites ... WITH in-suite masseuse. Then again, I might have heard some of those details wrongMike B. wrote:Well, it seems that your rate was cheaper than my "special convention rate," so good for you!

For $99 I'll probably be on an Army surplus cot in the boiler room. Wait, it was a double. Make that (2) Army surplus cots!OldSchoolDave wrote:Plus, as I understand it, all the "official" VHC guests will receive SuperDuper Presidential Penthouse Corner Suites ... WITH in-suite masseuse.

I don't know what I'm going to enjoy more... the Vintage HIWATT Experience, or the banter between these two!

.Massages aside, I look forward to seeing and hearing your 2150, powered by your DR201.

Re: Nearby Hotels
Yes, the amp is sounding quite good these days. Now all I have to do is decide which basses sound the best with it and bring those basses (I have two in mind)!OldSchoolDave wrote:I'll take that as a complimentMike B. wrote: You guys are so full of s#%t that your eyes are turning brown (if they haven't already).

Re: Nearby Hotels
we don't have an official hotel this year, it didn't really seem to matter much last year as they are all so close together.

Re: Nearby Hotels
The Courtyard worked well for VHC II and III. If you can manage the same (or better?) rate for VHC IV, that'd be great.Dr.HIWATT wrote:we don't have an official hotel this year, it didn't really seem to matter much last year as they are all so close together.
