Hey everyone!!

I have put a call into the Best Western again to look for us in January 2012.  The sales manager will be getting back to me shortly to get rates and all the other good stuff down on paper.  Hopefully I will have a final reservation code by the end of the week!! 

SAVE THE DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  For January 12-15, 2012

Steph  :) 

I will post all the hotel/reservation info after I hear from her.

No, I have a gig the next weekend as well.

Don't be changing the date for one party. I'll see if I can head down on Thursday, spend Thursday and Friday, head back Saturday for the gig that evening.

Alrighty everyone, I have a contract in hand for room rates!  She has given us a $64.99 room rate (plus all their crazy taxes). 

Since the hotel is completely smoke-free, we will no longer be able to congregate down in the lounge.  She has booked a meeting space, the Kittyhawk Room, free of charge as long as we book 10 rooms with our group.

The hotel info is as follows:

Best Western Airport Plaza Inn & Conference Center
4530 N. Lindbergh Blvd.
Bridgeton, MO 63044
314-731-3800

The dates are Thursday, January 12 - Sunday, January, 15.


If you have questions or problems making reservations, please feel free to contact me!

I guarantee that will not happen again.

It's kinda sorta, well actually TOTALLY my fault.  ::)Those that know me know I realized a lifelong dream last year when I bicycled cross country, coast to coast. The group I went with, Adventure Cycling, offered me a position as a tour group leader. Yeah, they're going to PAY ME to lead bicycle tours all around the country.

Timing being what it always is for me, the four day course I have to attend, offered once a year, is THIS weekend. I'll miss y'all, but for an old, washed up, retired cop, this was a dream come true job offer.

CONGRATS Joe!!!

I am needing to get an idea of how many will be attending in January.  Our drop date for this group is DECEMBER 12th!  If no one has made reservations by then I will cancel the group reservation, otherwise, DJ and I will be held to a $787.00 bill...no thank you!

HOPE everyone can make it!!!  Let me know!

Jim and I won't be attending either, I'm afraid.  :-[

I will definitely attend. 
Should I book or hold off until we get a few more?

Will the other locals be there?

Will be:
in a class in Jackson MS on the 12th then touring New Orleans the 15th through 17th during Richard's convention, then a Milwaukee class (required) on the 20th

OR

on a cruise, leaving from New Orleans, that includes the same required class as Milwaukee (and therefore the cruise is entirely deductible!!) the 15th through the 22nd

Sorry folks. Otherwise we'd be there.

I wish I could take a trip to St Louis. But cant so stuck here in Davenport. I never left but then oh course I live 6 blocks from SteepleGate Inn where we had the meet and greets. Miss you all and some day I will make it to a convention or meet and greet I hope I hope. I am still 24/7 in the 3-4 level and still living even when """it""" comes out of my head a little more than than normal. My neuro cant do anything else for me except send me to Mayo Clinnic which wife and I researched and  have not found anything new to try. Terry

I had full intention of attending, as always, but  my Sister Rosie and I had to make a unexpected trip to Memphis last week to attend the Home Going Celebration for our 'Half' (boy I hate that word, but it's the only way to describe a Sister that we have the same Father only) Sister, Olivia...

Hey all...

I just got off the phone with the Sales Manager at the hotel, and told her I wasn't sure if we would hit 10.  Today was the cutoff for our contract, of which I cancelled (we only had one room reserved).  HOWEVER, you can still call in and make reservations at a rate of $69.99/night.  If you are wanting to go PLEASE make your reservations ASAP.

Since the contract was cancelled, there will no longer be a conference room to gather in, if this is something you all are wanting, she said there would be a $50/day charge for that room.   

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me or the hotel.

Title: Re: St. Louis, MO January 2012
Post by jimyhertz on Dec 12th, 2011 at 7:55pm
Was there a promotion code or something we were suppose to use? It seems there was more than one booking. Also if you book on-line there is a rate of $55.99 if you stay 2 nights or more.
We are booked for 3 nights. See you soon my friends.

Post by DJ on Dec 12th, 2011 at 8:02pm
When you made the reservation, you were to tell them you were with the Clusterheadache Group. It doesn't matter at this point...just make sure your rate is no more than $69.99.

Title: Re: St. Louis, MO January 2012
Post by jimyhertz on Dec 12th, 2011 at 9:00pm
There was no smoking in the lounge last year but they let us hang out there. We only used the Kittyhawk room for smoking. Is there any reason we can't meet in the lounge? If we have to smoke outside, what is the difference?

Post by Callico on Dec 18th, 2011 at 11:28pm
I'm sorry I won't be able to attend this year. :'(  I had the weekend set aside so I would have no appointments sneak in, but I was elected Deacon at church and we have a Deacon Retreat set for that weekend and I need to be there.  I will definitely miss you, and will probably be thinking of you all weekend wishing I could be there!

I will be there with you.  Will drive over... arriving around 8ish.  If we have a small enough group we will head somewhere for dinner and drinks.  Otherwise we will eat in the hotel bar... they have surprisingly good food.

It was fun......was more like a local meet and greet with a NC interloper present.

I have a couple pics on my phone......I'll post those up in a few.

In an effort to revive interest in the January event, we are thinking of a change in venue to the Lumiere Place in downtown St. Louis for next years gathering. A tad pricey but might make for a better all around experience. I'll be posting up a request for input later in the year to get everyone's thoughts and ideas.
