Hi James and con-goers...<br>The 4-person room option is what solely allowed two of my long-distance friends decide to come to Otakon. They only know myself and Nikki well, and were asking to stay only with us for the purpose of comfort and unfortunate prior experiences. They have already invested both time and money into coming to the convention, which is about 10 hours away from their home. <br>
I included the group on the mailing to explain our situation and to see if everyone would be understanding enough to sympathize with why we requested a 4-person room. I sincerely apologize if this appears in any way to be selfish, but I rarely get to see my long-distance friends and have been looking forward to this for a very long time. <br>
<br>I will be open to discussion and I welcome anyone's comments.<br><br>Thank you all and the very best regards,<br><br>Jen Wicks<br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 6:57 PM, James Kao <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jmk17@cornell.edu">jmk17@cornell.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">So based on the number of people we have and the number of people who<br>
requested 4-person rooms, I'll be able to open up one 4-person room.<br>
<br>
This turns out to be less than the 9 people who requested it, but if<br>
we don't pack in to rooms evenly (something that fully packs the 4 and<br>
6 person rooms out of the 28 total people we have), things will get<br>
pretty expensive.<br>
<br>
I'm open to feedback on this though, so please post any comments or<br>
feedback you have to the ML so that we can discuss.<br>
<br>
I still plan on opening room reservation tomorrow.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
