Get ready to see more of the Sockheads than any sane person would ever care to! Thanks to our own very wonderful Alison, it looks like we've got a hotel lined up for us!!! Yee-haw!!! To quote the newsletter sent out to all those on the CRESvention list, "RADISSON HOTEL OPRYLAND, 2401 Music Valley Drive, NASHVILLE TN. is THE HQ for the ONE and ONLY SOCKHEADS CRESVENTION of 2001!!!!! The Main meeting space (called The Haunted Spaceship) will be there. 20 guest rooms have also been set aside - rooms either have a king-size bed or two double beds. The rates are: Single rate $82.00 / night plus tax Double rate $82.00 / night plus tax Triple rate $92.00 / night plus tax Quad rate $102.00 / night plus tax *To make a reservation, call 615-889-0800, and say you are with the Sockheads group. If you don't say that, you won't get the group rates above, they'll charge you a higher rate." Also, according to Alison/Mrs. Olly, "The rooms are great, the meeting room is great, the a/v equipment for the meeting room is on site to rent, it's clean and secure, there's an Applebee's restaurant in the lobby, you can walk to a McDonalds, Bob Evans, or Cracker Barrel, you can walk to the Wax Museum, it's 10 minutes from the airport, it provides free shuttle bus service to the big mall and lots of other places, there's an indoor pool, jacuzzi, wading pool, and GAME ROOM inside. whew." CAMPGROUNDS: Nashville Holiday Campground 2572 Music Valley Drive (615) 889-4225 price quoted was $21.00 for two people / tent, $4.00 each after that. KOA Opryland Music Valley Drive (615) 889-0282 price quoted was $22.95 / tent space. AND...a little reminder from Alison ('cause I'm STILL too lazy to paraphrase): "People will be able to make reservations throughout the fair month of May. In June we'll have to assess how many rooms have filled up (hopefully all 20 by then). Another thing; you have to be at least 18 to make a reservation, so if you're under 18, you need to pair up with an old person. ;^)" Something to keep in mind: Hotel tax is 13.25%! Eeek! Watch out for the little details, friends, and be sure to look at the links at the top of this page! Until then... (Tuesday May 01, 2001 6:18 p.m.) |
