Hi, if you're interested in getting a room instead of camping, read this post, this was earlier posted by ebmiller, as he got some info on this and he needs your input, so please reply.

 

yea, i want a room 2 adults... me and my gf... im 19.. i hope thats ok with the hotel.. i know sometimes they wont rent to teenagers.. but i look 25... so its all good...

 

that is a very good point, I thought the law in MD was you have to be 21 to rent? anyone know for sure?

 

DUDE, u live in MD how do u not know... anyway... ill have my dad call or mom... it dont matter... it will all work out in the end... there not gunna check for id... at least i hope not...

 

i need a room for me and my gf....pm me with the cost and ill get it to ya asap..

iroc2nv

 

yea mark... let me know when i gotta give ya the money for that... ill send it to u paypal asap... thanks again man

 

Hmm, I thought the whole point of ebmiller posting that info, was so everyone could send Ed the money to take care of hotels .Unfortunately, right now, with college, work, and everything, not sure if I'm going to have enough time to collect for hotels as well.

As far as the earlier comment about me not knowing, I know for my senior prom I had to have my Mom check us in, b/c I wasn't 21. But this past summer, I wasn't carded to get a room, and I don't really look 21, so I'm not sure.

Anyways, hopefully ebmiller will see this reply.

 

alright, ill go find ebmiller... thanks mark...

 

Hi guys!! I'm here..

OK, I've got 90 rooms reserved now, with 30 more available. I WILL post the reservation info tonight..numbers, locations, etc.

Thank you for being patient. If you're worried about being 25, don't tell them!!

Ed


BTW: There is NO need to send money to me, Mark, Paypal or anything like that. Each person will be taking care of themselves with the hotel they choose. I didn't want to be burdened with any of that BS, and the hotels were more than accomodating with my requests. More later.........

 

Ok guys and gals…here’s the info you need. I also have one more hotel available with 30 more rooms. I will be getting that info out as the need arises…if it does. Anyhoo, the Hampton Inns will be a bit more plush, with continental breakfasts and “better” rooms. Obviously, book where you like. Each quest is responsible for booking his/her own rooms and will be responsible for all calls, movies, etc….you all know the drill. Each hotel has a pool and the Hampton Inns offer workout areas and the Frederick location even has passes to the local Gold’s Gym if you feel the need. I think I gave all the pertinent info, and booking is available now. Here's the 3 locations that are ready to go:

Not more than 20 or 30 miles. Hop on Mapquest or Mapsonus and get the directions. Look on the hotel websites (www.hamptoninn.com) or www.daysinn.com for hotel addresses.

Ed

 

20 or 30 miles?!?! Thats roughly 40 minutes of driving! Anything closer? Like within 10 miles?

 

Germantown to Frederick is 23.5 miles from Frederick from Maps On Us,

Stay where you want man, I just tried to help out by doing some footwork for everyone. The Frederick hotels are in the same town as the Nat's.

Ed

 

Ill be at the hampton inn in frederick... if anyone wants to meet up there, let me know as the time draws closer...

 

That's where I'll be, I just reserved my room on the Net yesterday...Easy!!

Hope to see a lot of you guys there....lots of beer in my room.

I have no idea how many have reserved rooms by now but let me know if I need to get any more.

Ed

 

I'm there too

 

i hope between the 3 of us, we can find our way to the fair grounds!!! ahaha! I was just thinking about this, and I forgot i had reserved a room already... Now i need money to go play down there!!! hopefuly i get this nice job, and be able to get my cam and heads on, exhaust, and have it all ready and make sure it runs well with a good tune by June... its gunna be close!!! i hope its all done by the time i get down there... at least i hope my exhaust is on... oh boy...

 

I'm confirmed at the Days Inn, Frederick. Hey look at location on mapquest...Mark must be famous in this town already, Shields Dr. right behind the hotel!

 

LOL

 

Anybody up for a possible "roomie" on Fri / Sat night?


I wasn't planning on being able to come, but it's worked out and my schedule looks clear.

If anybody is interested let me know.

I'll take half the cost on the room and I'm up for plenty of beer / tequila.



Later

 

I'd say Yes but the wife would have a problem with that..

Ohhhh tequila.....


Ed

 

i just got reservations for the hampton inn in frederick too.

 

The Hampton in frederick is 2.3 miles away from the fair grounds which is very nice.

 

ill be at the hampton inn so just look out for me!!

 

I got reservations at the ExrtendedStay on Westview Dr. in Frederick. I liked that the room includes a kitchen and was roughly the same price as the Days Inn. Funny thing is I made reservations initially through HOTELS.com but it was kicked back as unavailable about 3 hrs later. Then I tried again through Switchboard and I got a confirmation number. I'm still going to call the hotel and confirm it though.
