Ok, plane tickets bought, room reserved, AND registered on the FF website....WHEW.
FYI-
When I booked the hotel room today, the Sony Online discounted rate for Saturday night is BOOKED. I will end up having to pay $165 for Saturday night. Here's the catcher though. The regular room rates every other night is LESS EXPENSIVE than the Sony discounted rate for Thurs, Fri, and Sun night. Here's my cost breakdown:
Thurs night $75
Fri night $95
Sat night $165
Sun night $89
On average, I will be paying $3 less than the $109/night room rate (not bad!)
Question for Vannoth -- How many rooms did you get blocked for the FF? I can't believe that over a month in advance, all of the rooms are booked for Saturday night. Hook me up a cheaper Sat night room rate!!!

We had close to 500 rooms booked.
You guys snapped them up pretty dang quick.
As an example we picked up 300 rooms total in San Fran.
I'm on the hunt for another hotel rate...

Girls (Hayley, Sirensa, and Aranuil), we have to check out the spa they have there at some point! Maybe do the sauna or get a massage during the day
They also have a salon where they do manicures and make-over and stuff! I'm so excited!!!

I should be arriving around Wednesday at noon. Think I'm sharing a room at the moment with a bunch of friends, but I might still get my own room.
Drolgin should be registered now. Not sure why his name's not showing up.

I'm bringing mine and some stuff to work out in, just in case. Nothing like a little sweat to clean out some of that alcohol from the night before

I'm bringing my bathing suit
Planning to hit the pool for some sun-tanning if the weather is nice enough.
I won't be bringing work out clothes! Figure I'll walk around enough to get my exercise that way.

Sorry about the pictures thing...but I have bigger things to worry about at the moment, other than pictures for the website.
Hotel crises, registration issues, sponsors, vendors, badges, tshirts, lunchboxes...
I'll go holler at the picture people one last time though.

Noooo! Droggy and Xou are going to be at this FF (Along with everyone else!)
. Sorry guys, I can't make it to this one either, I'll bein Europe at the time.
Was hoping the FF would be scheduled for the weekend before. Oh well
.
As for cookies, no promises, I have to see how hectic my schedule will be before my trip. Any preferences in flavors this time?
Anyone want to help with the shipping cost
? And if I do send the cookies out, who wants to be the recipient to bring them to the FF (or get sick eating them all before making it to the FF
) ?
*hugs*
