Sponge did you try to get a room at the Olympia Resort? They were running a special of $92 a night if you mention the MGC (hopefully these rooms were cheaper lol).

I thought about it, but those rooms really don't seem as big as the suites I got so we wouldn't be able to fit as many people

So far it's looking like we'll have about <s>12</s> 14 people, <s>8</s> 9 of which are Benheckers, including: Me, Triton, G-force, gannon, Skyone, marshallh, Sparkfist, and samus (now CronoTriggerFan, too). There's still plenty of room, any takers? It's looking like for 2 nights, it will cost $41 per person... however, this will probably go down quite a bit, as I will make one suite a normal room if we only have this many people.

Friday and Saturday

Well <s>lady</s> (samus is already signed up, so that eliminates all the ladies around here currently) and gentlemen, the time is approaching. Still looking to get a few more people... I think that I'll probably stick with the 2 suites, rather than a room and a suite, since it won't cost that much more per person (about $5) and you get so much more room

Just thought I'd let 'ya know that my pops'll be bunking elsewhere, as he's not too keen on jamming a room full of that many people.

I'm still 100% game, though!

As of now, how much would it be per person for the room(s)? I would love to go, but as of right now, It's not a for sure. Is there anyone coming through Iowa that I could hitch a ride with?

where in iowa you located neildo? im heading up from ottumwa! my volvo can seat 4-5 comfortably and as of now i have 3 or possibly 4 seats occupied depends on if marshall wants to ride with me or take his own car up. will be picking up samus at UNI in cedar falls so if your somewhere between im sure i could get you (you would have to chip in on gas and snacks tho) and according to sponge its looking like something around 35-40 per person for both nights

i could get a ride somewhere for you to pick me up cuz I live in southern Iowa, by Davis City if you have any idea where that is. I used to live in Ottumwa, back in college, but I dropped out last March (stupid money)

By the way, who all are you going up with?

Post by **Triton** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 5:25 pm

went to hills huh? im goin there now lol. right now its samus, myself and my friend bethany and possibly marshallh if he decides to rid with, i can seat 5 fairly comfortably and we will be making stops along the way. unfortunatly davis city is exactly the oppisite direction we are going and 100 miles from ottumwa, but if you could get to centerville or preferably ottumwa itsself im sure we could swing by and get ya

Neildo_64 · Post by **Neildo_64** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 5:33 pm

I could probably get a ride to ottumwa (thats what I was figuring on if I was riding with you) but if for some reason not ottumwa, definitely centerville. Hows hills? I was up there for a week a couple weeks ago, not really any different than when went.

pretty good, i like it, taking the electronics core program there. its a great school. get on MSN sometime tonight (after 9 i get off work) and we can work out some details. but if you can get a ride to even more preferably albia or ottumwa then i cant see any problem picking you up
