Rites of Spring Festival - ROSfest (2008)

Well I think you can book a hotel room at anytime for anything as long as their is availability. He might not get a discount rate and the person who works there might not yet know about RF but that wouldn't stop them from letting him book a room.

I have noticed that with Rosfest in particular a lot of the people like to get the hotel where all the bands stay at. I can understand booking a room early since the popular hotel will probably be full before tickets even officilly go on sale. Me? I live half an hour away(if that)so I don't bother with the hotel. I might consider it though if I move more than say 40 minutes away.

There was a screw-up in the Holiday Inn's web registration. George straightened things out. M booked us a 2 bed non-smoking room and we cancelled the smoking room we had reserved earlier. The HI didn't appear to have any suites. We may still book at the Hilton if there's a suite there. I need room to party! On the otherhand, if the moonies book early at the HI, we can get a block of rooms on a floor just as long as I'm far away from the methane emanating from that Brit's and Dane's room!

Mike I booked my room through the link on the RosFest site. I got the posted rate on the RosFest site. No problem at all.

Mortis and I need to get our backsides in gear........I'll leave it to you to do the honours Mr M. Settle up later when we meet up for TD, GH, WA and Focus.

Aye! Do so and then let me know. Same for other moonies. I'll contact the H.I. when the time is nigh and have them put us together in a block of rooms.

Methane? That's an insult -should be alcohol usually dispensed from Vax......

OK, besides you Vax. You and M being there would be a foregone conclusion anyway.

Indeed....the best toilet cleaner that George has ever employed.

I'll be there too.......VAX needs someone to carry his bucket.

[RogorMortis]

And I need KW to carry my camera case..........

Oooh... A prog virgin. This calls for a ritual deflowering.

[Mike413]

What is meant by prog newbie? She only knows the really obvious bands or she doesn't know hardly anything about prog at all(yet)?

With music provided by Ritual and the Flower Kings, perhaps obviously

I've decided to go ahead and get a Patron seat - there's only a week left so I'm going to do it in the next day or two. If anyone wants to join me let me know, otherwise I'll get a single seat...didn't stay there last year anyway

Regardless os the lineups, I'm doing Rosfest, Nearfest (already arranged), 3RP, and Progday. FMPM would be nice but it's an inconvenient date...
