Why? That means I have to go out and be somewhat nice..... Not my strong suit. :D :D :D

FWIW, this is the first I've heard of this. Perhaps that's intentional.

That's the furthest west we could go and still be too far away for LILJOL to attend.

Nuts. How about Albuquerque? :roll: :lol:

Sorry, but it remains most unlikely that this lil old grump will ever drag his poor tired lil ass to any of these gatherings. Location is the biggest issue, but from what I've seen and heard there are also a few other attendees that I want lil if anything with which to do. :(

Well, I enjoyed the company I kept this weekend. Had problems with nary a soul.

Got to add a couple of friends I just hadn't met yet.

This time I plan to attend barring unforeseen circumstances and hopefully Bo will be his usual self. Otherwise, I don't think that I could handle it. It would be like having a stranger around. :mrgreen:

Dallas? You'll lose the entire East Coast and most of the Midwest. IMO, not a good idea. A return to Baltimore would be much better.

Well, I for one will do all I can to make it. I've not been to Dallas, so it would be a good vacation

Hi everyone. I've managed to work out a discounted rate with Comfort Suites located approx 1/2 mile from Boomerjacks. Published rate for a King is 189; 2 queens is 209. I have a block of 25 rooms reserved at a rate of 99 per night, plus tax. Comes to 118.72 total per night.

I'm waiting for the link from the GM of the hotel; once I get it, I'll send it to you so you'll have the discount code. I am highly recommending this hotel over the Days Inn, because the Days Inn, while directly across the street from AT&T Stadium, and is also a 1/2 mile from Boomerjacks, to call it "sketchy" is being generous.

(EDITED) - Couple of items I forgot.
1. The hotel has offered to provide shuttle service to and from Boomerjacks
2. The discounted rate is only available until 6/20/2017, so book early.

Please book as soon as you can, if we fill up the 25, we can get more rooms added to the block.

Any questions, let me know.

Well, hell. MLB.com confirms that those FRNGRS are in Tampa for three games (21-23). :roll:

Yeah, Joel, I messed up. I was looking at the 2016 schedule when I was researching that. The Rangers are definitely out of town that weekend. But, as I said on FB, that helps me with better hotel rates :)

Here's what you've been waiting for...book early and often....

Hi Chuck,

I've attached the room block for your upcoming fun event "Triviapalooza". The group has been entered into our reservation system for your participants to call and make their reservations. The guest will need to call our front desk at 817-460-8700 and give the group name of Triviapalooza.

They can also use this link to make their reservations https://www.choicehotels.com/texas/arli ... Code=LTRIV

If they make their reservations with this link, they will need to enter the arrival dates and departure dates of their choice.

The shuttle service is offered to the participants to Boomerjacks at no charge to them. The shuttle hours will be 9:00am to 10:30pm.

I look forward to having your participants stay with us.

Hi All. OK, a Triviapalooza update...
BUZZTIME - Talked to Tiffany at BT HQ today. She took down the number of people and how many boxes we would need; is going to reach out to Boomerjacks to coordinate the delivery of the boxes.
BOOMERJACKS - Stopped in today, the GM, Nate, is out on vacation this week, but will be back next week. I will stop in next week to coordinate logistics with him (player location in the bar area, drink specials, where to put the extra boxes, food specials, beer specials, where to put the DJ equipment, beer specials, drink specials, can I do karaoke on Sat?, usual bail amounts, beer specials).
COMFORT SUITES - Stopped in today, only 3 hotel rooms have been booked there out of 25. If you want the rate of $99 per night, you need to book it before 6/20/17 in order to get that rate, and that's only 60 days away, so...

Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones!

Thanks!
Chuck
