Well, I'm officially booked at the same fine establishment as the rest of you degenerates! :shock:

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? :wink:

I could only get it on the main page: http://www.vintagehiwattconvention.com .

Messing with the modular code of this discussion board is a bit intimidating :shock: .

See you in Indiana!

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?

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 wrong ;) .

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! :lol:

You guys are so full of s#%t that your eyes are turning brown (if they haven't already).

The only massages I'm giving will come from a 2150 cabinet....

"You guys! You f@%king guys!"

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

I'll take that as a compliment :?: :) .

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

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)!

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.

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.
