Flitterkill November 28, 2012 Author Share Flitterkill GC Board Member November 28, 2012 Zima forever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSfBaVMViz8&feature=related Also locking the hotel down in the next day or two. Talked to an Akron location just now. Cheaper! Larger! Zero food constraints! No bar... (Here it comes...) Any alcohol requires security per hour @ $24/hour provided by off-duty cops.

Flitterkill November 28, 2012 Author Share Flitterkill GC Board Member November 28, 2012 Place in Akron is near the airport. Commonly used by airline pilots, etc. Events held at this place in the past with alc. have gotten out of hand so to speak. Place has no bar or restaurant facilities. Just rooms, a pool, and a large amount of meeting space. The end result is you bring your own booze, fine. But, alc. in the meeting space must be accompanied by paid security, designated by hotel, which in this case are off-duty officers, @ $24/hour. Just one security guy is needed. I suppose I should run numbers. We could probably get the meeting space open from 8am to 2am, figure officer from 4pm to 2am, so 10 hours, Friday and Saturday... Hmm, $480. Would give us a ton of freedom re: food/drink with the limitation of the drink part being limited to 4pm to 2am. I wonder if the savings on the space are enough to warrant looking at this...

walkingCat November 28, 2012 Share walkingCat Member November 28, 2012 Akron 368 mi, 6 hours 19 mins from me, not bad. Any alcohol requires security per hour @ $24/hour provided by off-duty cops. does it mean no alcohol beverages at FFO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flitterkill November 28, 2012 Author Share Flitterkill GC Board Member November 28, 2012 No, just that if it was held at the Akron location, any alc (that includes beer) would have to have a security presence in the meeting space. You'd still be free to do what you want in your own room. At the Hudson location, if you acquire your alc. from the hotel bar, you are allowed to have it in the meeting space. Otherwise you'd again be free to drink in your own room *or* in the hospitality area we would have alongside the meeting space. But otherwise no alc. in the meeting space. EDIT: Interesting. Financially viable. Could people actually manage not drinking between 8am and 4pm? Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami November 28, 2012 Share Tsunami Member November 28, 2012 Its 1000 kilometers from where i am ... about 11 hours ! but my mom is so awesome that she said MAYBE she'd come with Axxar and I (and my dad and sis) and she and the others would do something else while Axxar and I will be at the fragfest :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC November 28, 2012 Share VooDooPC Member November 28, 2012 I don't drink but even I think 8am to 4pm is crazy early to start drinking. What is the penalty like of drinking without the officer around? Of course I'm not suggesting breaking the rules or anything, I'm just curious. Do they put your picture up and bar you for life? No pun intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flitterkill November 29, 2012 Author Share Flitterkill GC Board Member November 29, 2012 we can all just go out to a restaurant or bar for food & drinks, can we? Well, naturally, anytime. Either it's gonna be the same as previous hotel years with all food/drink sequestered in the hospitality room, more or less, or at Akron we would have free reign for food and non-alc. drinks with zero restrictions. Alc/beer would only be allowed between 4pm and 2am. Again, self provided, but with the security component in the form of an officer friendly just hanging out (and probably rocking games ) Apart from those hours you'd just keep it in your room. I need firmer numbers from Akron first. Initially I heard the cost of security and considered it a deal breaker. I didn't actually run some numbers until this evening and then I was like - wait a minute now... The more I think about this the more Akron appeals to me. Distance to various foods is super close, golf course directly opposite the hotel. Stuff to think about. The penalty for no security with drinking? I dunno. Contract breakage I imagine. Another advantage (or disadvantage...) is with no bar for people to go hide at it will keep everyone in the main room gaming and interacting as well.

JackieChan November 29, 2012 Share JackieChan GC Alumni November 29, 2012 I think in 2007, there was a "if you're underage and caught drinking, you're gone" rule. Plus, if there is going to be a big number, name badges would be a must. Could have them color-coded for above or below 21, and there would be a requirement to wear them inside the LAN at all times. We have had people in the past who weren't a part of the LAN just waltz in before so if they're not wearing a name badge or wearing a FragFest shirt, they would have to be removed from the LAN immediately to avoid potential theft of property or any other unwanted events.
