For those of you who are planning on attending the expo here in Knoxville...how many of you plan to spend the night here in town?  I need to make arrangements with our partnered hotal at roughly how many rooms we are going to need.  The deal we have on rooms is for $61 dollars per night as the Clarion Inn, which is less than half a mile from the I-75 Expo Center.  Please post and LMK roughly what to expect.  If very few people post then I assume that most people will be heading back home after the event.  BUT keep in mind that we will most likely be planning some sort of NA after party at a local eatery/bar so if you would like to potentially attend that I recommend that you stay at least one night so you can stumble back to your hotel room

Sorry I would love to stay but I can't...

Sounds like you got a hot date with a boy.  Or you're just a huge slut.

I'm planning on a couple of nights. Do you have a discount code for us Jason, or how is it going to work?

-------------------------

My mantra, as worded by SamSpade on 06/12/12:
I don't resell to fund my collection, I don't treat this hobby like a second job, I don't care if my collection is worth ten bucks or ten thousand because I never plan on selling it. Seriously, what does the value have to do with anything if you never plan on selling? Speculation doesn't mean jack shit to me at this point, I just want to play my nes games...

I should have about 3 other people with myself, and we plan to come up friday so we will be staying 2 nights.  I'm guessing there are two beds in each room so we will need 2 rooms.

Looking for Black cartridge Color Dreams games, last 3 I need:  Metal Fighter, Moon Ranger, Baby Boomer.  Please contact me if you have any of these!

Glad you said something Penguin, that's something I've been meaning to double-check. Do the $61 rooms have two beds?

You guys are so greedy. Back when I was young we'd walk to school uphill both ways through hail storms and then go home and be happy if there was a pillow on the floor for me and my eighteen brothers.

Two beds. Pfft!

Haha I remember those days! Except I had to walk home durring a cat. 1 hurricane, wind about blew me into some people's yards. Oh and Jason if you can find out if the $61 is for the room with 2 people, because I know some hotels charge by the # of people staying in the rooms to, if so I guess we can just say one person is staying in the room if that is the case.

I just got off a call with the motel rep. We will update the site with all the info shortly for booking and what not. You will have your choice of rooms, either a King or 2 doubles for the $61 price. They also have a free breakfast and the pool will be open as well. You will need a code to confirm the room rate which I should be getting by Friday when I go sign the papers.
