I figger we’ll steal some chairs from the inevitable wedding in the next meeting room. And maybe some shrimp and a cheese platter… maybe a disco ball and dance pole for Rooster…

I would end up at the wedding in the next meeting room and doing things I shouldn’t be doing so I’m out this year myself.

Cliff, and Bruce;
When I first started “Renting” a room at the old (Then) Holiday Inn in York. I requested a “Tub of ice” for us to put our own individual beverages in. No problem. An urn of Coffee might be nice too, if they don’t charge too much.
Generally, you must remember; I was dealing with the hotel by telephone from Ottawa Canada.
The best communication if you can’t stand face to face with the hotel person, is to get on the TELEPHONE, and tell them what you want. Get that contact person…she/he is your ticket to success.

Well, just got off the phone with yet another coordinator. Apparently there are “rules” regarding your own drinks and food - as in “NOT ALLOWED!”

She promised to send me a menu and I will post it as soon as I get it.
(Not sure if these are Maryland rules or Crowne Plaza Rules )

[mcginty26 (Pat McCarty)]

Never had that problem in York. Oh well, rules are rules. Aren’t they supposed to get broken ?

[rmccown-admin (Bob McCown (Admin))]

We asked specifically at York, and they said it was fine, and even would provide us with ice…

[Bruce_Chandler]

She said a “menu” was supposed to be sent to me, but NOTHING so far. NOT encouraging at all…

Thanks for that menu, Rooster. That COULD be it. I was hoping for some light snacks. Still nothing from my “coordinator”

[Bruce_Chandler]

Well, just got off the phone and things are looking GOOD!

We are moving to a "board"room (Room 420) that has a mini refrigerator AND a bathroom. We CAN bring our own snacks and drinks! Drag & Brag ON.

@Rooster ,
As an official OLD guy you should know better than to even post that. These guys want grocery store snack pricing, not rip you off quikmart gas station pricing.

[naptowneng (Jerry Bohlander)]

Good job, Bruce!

Thanks for all you’ve done, Bruce

Well, we shall see! It could be like the tiny room we had in York one year…
Hopefully this will all work out.

[Bruce_Chandler]

You’re welcome. Sure hope it works.
