Any updates on lodging or on the #'s needed for the dyno?

Fred

 

Well, I still need another 12 to sign up for the dyno BY June 1st. If I don't have the full 30 slots filled by June 1st I will be forced to cancel the dyno. I really dont want to do that...as its one of the main events of the meet. So, knowing that, if anyone knows anyone thats coming, and wants to dyno for a fair price, please tell them to sign up at the site!!!

As far as lodging goes, I won't be able to get any discount rates unless a slew of people are staying at one particular hotel. I didnt get a hotel picked out in time to get everything set up as I had school to deal with and also work. Now I'm out of school I can get stuff ordered.

What kind of lodging were you looking at?

Josh

 

just a room w/ 2 doubles... nothing fancy. It would be cool to be around the other participants, though. Have you heard if people are already migrating towards a specific hotel?

 

I'm not sure of one specific hotel, but I am pretty sure that some of them will be staying in hotels in the vicinity of I-35/University Ave. area in West Des Moines.


Next year I am going to go with one hotel in that area and tell everyone to go there for lodging. I know that doesnt help people for this year, but it will be that much better for next.

 

got any phone #'s for 'em?

 

Sorry about the delyaed response...I had to drive up there and get the name of the hotel there and sure enough, it's a Holiday Inn:

HOLIDAY INN /UNIVERSITY PARK
1800 50th St.
DES MOINES, IA 50266
515-223-1800

 

I just called the Holiday to get reservations. They're down to Smoking rooms w/ King beds and Queen rooms w/ handicapped accessibility. (for the 11th and 12th) They cost $89 a night. They've got suites w/ Kings for $125 a night.

Oh, and you've got 8 spots left on the dyno.

Fred

 

Thanks man! Appreciate it! Thx for the info on the hotel.
