OFFICIAL - Hotel/Site Selection

They shall pay for their insolence!

Having said that, for big groups normally you do need to book further in advance.

There can be only one reason why I'm posting this thread.

The Marriott declined the ApolyCon!

Dear John Thornton,

Thank you for your request for information on the Marriott Baltimore
Hunt Valley Inn.

Unfortunately, the hotel has already accepted as many groups as it can
accommodate over your requested dates.

I will be happy to check any alternate Marriott properties or other
dates for you. Please let me know your preference.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Ms. Kerrie White on behalf of Ms. Alexis Ziemba

Perhaps she didn't take me seriously when I closed the RFQ with "OUR WORDS ARE BACKED WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!" Think that might have put her off?

Tonight, I'll do the same process for the Holiday Inn Select (leaving out any reference to nuclear weapons). Any of you men out there with burly broadband connections who want to help a lowly organizer on a wimp-assed hotel room dial-up by finding me links to N. Baltimore hotels with conference rooms?

Thanks!
