Wake Up, Kevin

[kevin_standlee]

I had to come out of hibernation this morning, because we concluded that due to needed to be at Westercon/BayCon through the end of the convention on Monday, we had to stay an extra day. Fortunately, I brought one of my work computers and was able to put the PTO request. I called the front desk and they told me that while they could extend my stay, I couldn't get the convention rate and it would cost more than $100 more per night. I winced but said yes. Then I had to go down and get our keys recoded because I'm the one with the ID. I then handed everything back over to Kayla.

Surprising, as most hotels want guests to extend their stay, they must have a more expensive rate for the average busines M-F travelers! ;-( Glad you were able to make it work though!

Yeah, I think that given their location, they have one market for weekend/holiday folks (including $60/day parking during events at Levi's Stadium nearby) and a completely different one for business travelers during the week. There was a business-looking event moving into what had been BayCon's space as I was moving out. I was just lucky that BayCon's hotel liaison was able to make it work and that the hotel had enough availability. Moving out on Monday would have been awful!
