The hotel sent over the contract for me to sign securing the first block of rooms. There were a few surprises in it previously undisclosed.

I pride myself in being very “open source” and “transparent” in all of my activities, so did not enjoy being surprised. (But boy can I keep a secret! )
It may still take me a few days to beat out the details on the agreement before I sign it.

There is no question of the rooms as they are all available for everyone as we speak at $380.00 per night plus taxes. It is simply that I am fighting to get everyone a $280.00 per night rate. I predict the hotel will eventually sell out, but at this moment there are plenty of rooms for our ThinkTankers!

The event itself will most likely not be taking place at the hotel, but in some cool places within a two minute walk of the hotel. These venues are being organized and negotiated as we speak. I have some very good options available! It should be quite fun!
