Let me know if you need a hotel for Boston or Port Chester. I have most of you down for a hotel.
I'll probably sign the contract on Monday or Tuesday. Once I get all the information, I will first likely send out PMs on the Forum or send you a direct message on FB with the reservation information. This way, if you're on the list, you will be guaranteed the room rate when you reserve.
I'll then post the information publicly at the end of the week, giving everyone a couple of days to book their hotels.
Please let me know if I have forgotten you on any of these lists or posted incorrect information.

Bump
Ben,
Could you add me and a + 1 for 3 days 1 king at the Port Chester, thanks.
If its not too late, my wife and I would love to get in on this with y'all. One king room for PC 3 nights would be rad. Thanks!
Yep, you two have been added.
Bumpity bump bump....
We are in for NYE as well... One king would be great! Damn this is HAWT!
30+ people in the hotels. this is gonna be insane
If you are on this list, please PM me your email address. It'll be easier for me to send everyone an email than to send individual PMs or messages. Thanks.
If you haven't sent me your email address, please PM me. I should have all details in by the end of the week.
For those going to Boston, I have only blocked off 25 rooms because the hotel as an 80% attrition policy. This means that if we don't have 20 rooms filled by our arrival, we - more specifically I - incur a penalty of $150 a night per room not filled to 20. For example, if we only fill 18 rooms of our allotment, the penalty would be:
2 rooms X 2 nights X $149 = $596 + taxes.
So in short, I hope everyone keeps their reservation.
Now while I only have blocked off 25 rooms and there are 27 people listed for Boston, if we exceed the blocked room, the hotel will give the rate if they have availability.
For those already with existing reservations, you can call the hotel to have the group code applied. You might also be able to do to this online, but I'll find out first and let you know.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I've put an asterisk next to the names from whom I have received email addresses.
What are he prices of these again? Just trying to get my $ in order for when we can book
Port Chester - $116 a night + taxes. Total savings - $99 for 3 nights (or $33 / night)
Boston - $149 a night + taxes. Total savings - $120 for 2 nights ($20 for Dec. 30 and $100 for Dec. 31)
Awesome!
So I'm thinking it's gonna be ~ 700$ total

Yeah, about that.
Ok, $120 for three nights (w/2roomies) looks so much better than $700. Now I can feel better about not going to Boston. At least that's what I keep telling myself...
I've got the info for the Port Chester / Rye Marriott. I'll be sending an email out, hopefully tonight, with all the details. I'll let you know when I've sent the email so that you can check your inbox or junk mail folder.
Email has been sent for the Rye Courtyard Marriott. Please read the email carefully.
If you did not receive it, check your Junk mail folder first. If it's not there, please let me know.

Did anyone who asked to get a room for Port Chester NOT receive an email from me?
I have received the group codes for Boston. However, the codes are only good for a total of 14 rooms (I used one). The breakdown is:
- 7 rooms with a King bed
- 7 rooms with 2 Queens
Once all the rooms have been reserved with the first set of codes, I will sign an addendum to the current agreement to secure another 15 rooms.
As such, I will be sending out emails to only 14 people tonight with the codes. Please reserve your rooms immediately, so that I can get the new codes. I will be sending out emails in the order that I received your email address and by the room type you requested. As there were more people asking for rooms with King beds, you may not receive an email from me tonight.
I will also identify those people to whom I have sent an email in the list in the OP. This way, you will be held accountable for reserving a room. If you don't reserve a room by the end of the week, I will forward the code to someone else.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Check that. We have 10 kings and 5 rooms with 2 queens.
Emails have been sent to 9 people needing King beds and 5 people asking for 2 queen beds.
Please read the email carefully and please email me when you have made your reservation.
Sorry to those that I did not send an email today but will get to you next week.
hey Ben i sent you my code. are you talking the first email on the hotel or was there a follow up?
:huh:
I sent another email for Boston, but not everyone would have received it since the code is only good for 15 rooms. Once the first group has booked their rooms, I can get a second round of codes to cover the rest of the gang.
And I have you listed needing another room.
i booked both
NN - you can remove me from the Port Chester list.
Excellent work Ben! Thanks again! We are booked for 1 night, @ the MMJBoston Rate! So cool, and a $60 savings! Well done, and thank you for your dedication to this! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

that's awesome.
i've lost track as to which hotel we settled on for Boston? a Marriott?
Brookline Marriott Courtyard, which is 1 mile from the Agganis Arena.
The second set of emails should be sent today or tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.
Hey Ben, just letting you know that I have reserved our king room in Rye so I don't need another email. :beer:
Ben,
Any updates on the Boston hotel situation with the group code?
John
Should get the new codes tomorrow. I signed the addendum today, so keeping fingers crossed.
I'll be sending out the next batch of codes tonight.
Everyone should have received an email from me.
Thanks for all of your work Ben, I am all booked up for the night of 12/31/12!!!!
NYE can't get here soon enough!

Bump... does anyone need a hotel code for Port Chester and/or Boston?
yo, the owner of the monkey wrench was asking about hotels, is there any available for either?
Yep. Ask him to send me a PM or an email. You have my addy.
I emailed him and asked him if he still needed hotels. if he does I'm going to have him email you. thanks!
That will be nice for him to join us. It was cool seeing him again at Red Rocks after meeting him in Louisville. Although I don't completely remember meeting him in Louisville.... :rolleyes:

HELP! need a room for BOSTON...
might require creating an account to edit, but heres a map for everyone to map out where they are traveling from for the PC and Boston shows
http://www.pinmaps.net/map/10886/ewind/mmj-port-chester-and-boston (http://www.pinmaps.net/map/10886/ewind/mmj-port-chester-and-boston)
you can leave comments on pins, and comments on the map, etc. all in all, just another social networking thing we dont need.
Hey e, what exactly do you do with this map thing? The link takes me to a page that wants me to create my own map...
yeah it was all messed up. It should work now, as crispy changed it to a shared map.
"http://www.pinmaps.net/map/10886/ewind/mmj-port-chester-and-boston <---- get on it, especially if you're from a different country."
Their interface is a little sketchy without a good way to bookmark E's map, but the key is to create an account and/or login, then go to the link or copy and paste the address.
yeah, thats what Ive been having to do. click the link once to open in a new tab, loggin, and come back and click it again.
Just a heads up....Sotopop and I have our room booked. Thanks again for putting this together :)
looking for a bed in your room in Boston for 12/30 (i've got 12/31 covered) please don't let me sleep out in the cold :shocked: pm me please
I know this is bordering on last minute, but does anyone have a spot for me in their room for both nights, or even just the 31st? I don't need a bed, although that'd be great. Cot or floor is fine too. I'd love to be able to make this show, but can't afford to room solo (spring semester tuition, etc. to cover + the holidaze...).
OR
Is anyone else on the fence & needing a roomie to make it happen?
I'd be driving, and would have room in my car if anyone still needs a lift from Port Chester.

Boston.
Someone else has an extra for me, if I want. But the only way I can swing this is if I do a room share. Being a Jacket fan has become expensive, gotta keep costs down!
i booked a single king sized room. if anyone wants to split i can look into a double-queen room or a cot. hollerz!
