Given that a few people are expereincing IT-related problems, I would again suggest that people book by emailing or calling Ms. Rasocha. She is very prompt and helpful. And while you are free to tell her about the IT issues, she did not write the web interface, does not work in Affinia's IT dept., a...

or email her: mrasocha@affinia.com

The Affinia requires us (specifically me, and my credit card) to assure them of at least 12 rooms booked on Friday and Saturday nights. My informal count suggest that this will not be a problem, but before I put my credit card on the line, I need to know who is firmly committed to (i.e. guaranteeing...

hm$

hm$

No. It means 2 persons = $99.

The travel agent rate ends 12/31/09.

After some calling and talking to other BWE members, I have been able to secure a group rate at the Affinia Chicago for $99/night for double occupancy. I will get suite info as soon as folks ok the choice. Other options in the same price range were the Wyndham (good location, not as well reviewed) a...

Jon:

Please let me know what you know about group rates at the W as I am currently exploring hotel options and want to be able to suggest something in the next few weeks. You can email me at hms7 @ cornell.edu

hm$

hm$

Sorry you feel that way.

hm$

hm$

I think what people are gently suggesting (ok, maybe not gently) is that as BD, you might want to stay above the fray (a/k/a on the high road). Turn the other cheek. Judge favorably. And all that.

hm$

hm$

I am telling everyone in advance, relax about the hotel. I will work on it.

I fail to see how discussion of Squire's censorship (which I think got out of hand when Lyle and Alice were banned from eBob) was furthered by taking a cheap pot-shot at Josh on this forum. Even if your post reflects your opinion, it added nothing to the discussion. It was just a mean-spirited gratu...

hm$

JIm:

this pot-shot at Josh was not only unwarranted but beneath you. i thought we prided ourselves on civil discourse here?
if there is a way to apologize to him, you shoudl figure it out.

Bill and I both brought the '82 Poyferre, and I tasted them side by side. they were shockingly similar despite the fact that mine was an auction buy last year and his was bought locally in 1985. I got the vintages right but only the Lalande nailed down as far as the wines. Even the vintage guessing ...
