Kong Off 3 Hotel Arrangements Thread!!!

[lakeman421]

Got my money situation figured out since banks were open today.  But apparently flights double in price within a day, so I wasn't able to get the flights I desired, but still arriving wednesday and leaving thursday.

I fly into Denver at 2:20 on Wednesday, and I fly out Monday at 1240 pm.  Let me know if anyone has similar plans or could get me to and from the airport.  I would also like to take up on your offer Mitch for the hotel room if that spot is still available.  I am looking forward to this event more than anything!

Sounds good, Robbie. You're all locked in for the room! Make sure to get Dan and my #s ahead of time and we'll be able to figure out pickup from the airport with the car. Dan arrives at like 11:30am and I arrive at 6:36pm (both on Wed)... so we may have to trade off who goes to get who. My idea: Dan gets you, you get me, I get Corey (on Thurs).

P.s. This is my 1000th post. Wht da. Yer buddy!

Good, I won the race to you getting 1000 posts before me!

I didn't wanna be "that guy"...

Will some of the rest of you please catch up? Like, at least come within a hundred or so of Mitch and I? This is embarrassing!

[marinomitch13]

LOL. It was funny seeing the views and posts drop significantly a week ago when Corey, Jeremy and I were all very busy cramming out a ton of the DK manual all afternoon/evening (the shoutbox was silent too! *gasp*). I realized that that was basically taking out 3 of the top 20 posters/viewers (2 of which are in the top 4!)! It seems like usually people kinda trade off picking up the slack in terms of DKF postings, but it's actually quite interesting how if you take out a few of the cogs in the wheel it doesn't quite snowball as drastically as it normally would.

Mary McManus = 1 post
Mary McManus + Chris = 5 posts
Mary McManus + Chris + Corey + Mitchell = 100 posts

I think I still have your number Mitch from last year if your number hasn't changed, I dont think I have Dan's number.  I will be happy to pick you up from the airport if you admit 1-1 sucks 

[marinomitch13]

1-1 sucks. But I still love it! lol

Close enough, I'll pick you up at 630.

[danman123456]

Pick up/etc isn't an issue. I'm sure the rental car will give me grief about drivers unless I have you with me so they can get your license. It's all good I'll make sure I can drop-off-/pickup.

Robbie I'm sure you mean 2:20pm right?

Also Mitch you catch my message? Should I get the Room since you come in so late Wed?

Dan

[lakeman421]

Yeah 230pm is when I will fly into Denver

Hi guys,

This is kind of late in the game but I'm planning on being in Denver visiting family the week of the Kong Off, so I was planning on going down to the 1-Up on Saturday and Sunday. 

I'm not going to be able to stay with family on Saturday and Sunday so if there is anyone that has a spot in a hotel downtown and wants to defray costs some, please let me know.

I do have a room reserved at a hotel 4 miles from downtown, but don't have transportation between the arcade and the hotel, so it would be a lot nicer to be downtown.

Thanks!

Dan, I called the hotel. Turn out that we can't check in until 3pm and making so that you can check in for me is kinda a hassle. Is it ok if you just hang out at the 1up for a while before coming to get robbie and me?

[danman123456]

If they will let me are they open? I'll find something to do.

Dan

[marinomitch13]

The 1up may be open. If not, then you may be able to get someone's attention to let you chill in the upper floor area like they did for many of us last year.

[DilPickIes]

If they will let me are they open? I'll find something to do.

Dan

They should open at 3pm tomorrow, which is just about the earliest you can get there from DIA with a 2:20 flight arrival.

I'm heading there in a few minutes to get some practice in and will ask around. If it's anything other than normal hours, I'll report in.

[danman123456]

Yeah if John is still playing ill go cheer for him there.
