Alright: I had a follow-up conversation with Ms. Angela Mayhue, @ the
D-T, Tulsa, & will be 'Forwarding' to her, today, our little contract,
where WE have agreed that the D-T WILL
offer group-discounts to "us" @ $89.00/nite, for the period 6/ 12 - 17
/07, but, unfortunately with NO AARP discount available --sorry,
old-timers!
The contract will be in force as long/until we continue filling the
place, in 10-room "blocks".
I have TUES-SAT reserved, so that counts as 5-of-10, right there. I know
of at least two Mail-Listers who had initially booked the $89.00
rate (before some bright-boy decided to hike the prices, to
$119.00/nite). The D-T will check their individual-reservations, for
6/12-17/07, & give "us" block-credit for those room-dates.
NOW, (just to make this mo-inneresting) the DT says :"sure, we's got us
417 rooms, here, BUTTT, 152 rooms are ALREADY contractually
'sold', to tour groups, etc..."
So, that "only" leaves us (calculator, please..)
up to 265 rooms, for the 'Entire-World', to book, each nite!
To get the Super-Duper- Room- Rate, you MUST reference the code-word :
"FORWARDLOOK" (shouldn't be too hard, to remamber), when you call (ONLY
this number, NOT the actual hotel) which is the DT's "national
reservations" number : 1-800-222-8733.
Finally, ( & this is for the multitudinous FWDLK
website's General-Discussion chatroom's
readers), the D-T is the CLOSEST facility, to the Tulsa County
Courthouse.
If anyone has ever attended a 'Big-Event', he will know that PROXIMITY
to the venue is of critical importance, for logistics, and for social
interaction.
I anticipate , due in part to Tulsa's seemingly indifferent
"organizational" attitude, to date, that there might be considerable
confusion (think 3 Stooges Convention) regarding "Virgil's"
unearthment proceedings, and/or for traffic/crowd control, etcetcetc.
It might be necessary, e.g., to sit on bleachers, all nite, to hold
those good-seats, unless the Tulsarama Committee takes my suggestion,
that they offer "Admission Packages", which would include Reserved
Seating &/or Car Parade bookings (limited to , maybe, 50-100 cars),
Goodie Bags, Limited-Edition mementoes, etc.).
My point is : cars of-a-fin, should park-together.
Once you are "in" town, The D-T provides 'Security-provided' enclosed
parking structure, (which I know MY car will appreciate, as he sun-burns
easily). You can use the hotel as a base-of-operations, to cruise-
around, and to socialize-with, all nite (as has been known to occur @
Chrysler car-meets), AND, you can WALK to/from "VIRGIL's" un-earthing
proceedings!
So, for me, anyway, the choice of the D-T is a no-brainer.
And, there are ONLY 265 nitely-rooms available.
Try to get there on TUES 6/12, as 6/13 will be for sight-seeing, & THUR
6/14 should be INSANITY (Okie-style). And, THEN, there's Virgil's
'Birthday' party!!!
DO NOT FORGET to ask for "CITY VIEW, HIGH FLOOR" (as high-up, as
possible).
See you there (Tulsa's downtown SHOULD resemble a Forwardlooking version
of "American Graffitti".)
But, HEY, if the location, or 'dates' are inconvenient to you, you can
always 'wait', and go to the NEXT un-earthment of a brand-new Buried
Forward-looking MoPar.
