So I had this fantastic hotel lined up for the Cult Movie Overnight. I was going to actually sign a contract yesterday.
Then word came down from the hotel owner at the last minute: if there's bondage there, they don't want the event.
I have some other hotels lined up, but frankly, I'm too dispirited to make the calls. But I really need to actually -settle- this before Friday - sign a contract and everything.
To make matters even -more- fun, I researched dates in February and March to try to make sure that possible event dates didn't conflict with gaming conventions, major sports events, pagan or judeo-xtian holidays, school stuff....
...and there are 3 possible dates now, March 13, 20, and 27. March 13 is a little bit soon, and it's looking like the others might be bad for Arthur.
I need some kind soul who is willing and able to call up these hotels, and help me make a decision on which one to use. Like, soonish.
Interested? Drop me an email.
The main issues are:
->We need room for up to 250 people, and we need at least 3 conference rooms.
->We need to be able to feed a variable amount of people for as little money as possible. That means either bringing in our own food.. or arranging for a light meal for 100 people and having the ability to order in food for any overflow.
->We need a hotel that'd be open to an event like www.evenfalsethingsaretrue.com/cmo
->We need sleeping rooms at a reasonable rate.
Here are the contenders:
The Crowne Plaza Meadowlands
www.cpmeadowlands.crowneplaza.com
They want to charge ue about $200 per conference room (I think we'd need about 4) and can offer us food for like $7 per person or so; we're still widdling about a little on what we can do if we have less food than people. They'be got some idea about the event.
Somerset Marriot
http://marriott.com/property/propertyPage/SOSNJ
$200 per room, 3 rooms would fit 230 people, food at about $9 per person.
The Wayne Holiday Inn...
...food to be negotiated, ballroom space for $1000.
