I talked with David and he still needs to talk with the hotel but our plan at this time is to have a walk through at the hotel on both of our August meeting dates(9th and 22nd I believe). This is not finalized yet but is our plan.
And now I'm a catgirl?

So will I need to change the date then? Right now it is set for the 16th.

Well, I think he was mentioning something like that for the official staff meeting, I'm sure we could do it too, maybe.

I would prefer you go on the general meeting days. Sorry that it's not 3 weeks early and only two.
Like I said before the hotel is not public property and on days we have general meetings there would be less chance of people interrupting other hotel business.

Guys,

This is the sort of thing that has the potential to create problems for us with the hotel.  The Doubletree was not happy about early con last year.  However, we were not in a situation with them where we needed to worry about working with them again and/or making future contracts.  We are in that positon with the Downtown Hilton.

The Downtown Hilton usualy books lots of really formal events like weddings.  You guys are talking about crashing space that is rented by someone else, in a highly visible group of about 30 people.  We are working with the hotel to try to have walkthroughs on meeting days.  If you guys really want to tour the hotel, please do it when we have made arrangements to do so.   

Obviously, we can't stop you.  But, if you do anything to sour our relationship with the hotel, the whole convention can be affected.  The more they like working with us, the more concessions and other things we get from them.  If they have reasons to not like working with us ... then they will only do so in the future for more money. 

When the hotel is ours, because it's during the times when WE have rented it, we can do all sorts of stuff.  We can have our fun then.  When OTHER people have paid good money for the space, it's thiers.  Touring the general area of the hotel is fine. But please, think carefully about entering private property. 

This is likely the last you are going to hear from the Kcon Board about it.  It's your choice.  I just wanted to make sure you guys understood the possible implications. 

Thanks for reading:)  In general, how well behaved our attendees are and the lack of complaints actually surprises the hotels and other venues we work with.  Also, those of us who work on the con all year long really, really appriciate what a good group of attendees we have.  If you guys weren't so awesome, running the show would not be nearly as rewarding.

Ah, well I don't think anyone involved in these plans (the unofficial walkthrough) had any idea that there was problems with the walkthrough last year. Nobody mentioned anything to us about it until now, a year later. It's good to know, and thanks for letting us know. In that respect, I can understand not going through with it. We can maybe do all the other events (just not a walk through the hotel).

I'm just surprised. I would have thought if it was such a problem and the hotel had such an issue with it, someone would have mentioned something by now. We were all left in the dark about it, apparently.

Last year we did not go into any of the room (all of them were locked) Tom just showed us where they were. But I guess for this we can just tour AROUND the hotel instead of going inside so people know where things are and wait for the actual tour on one of the meeting days.

And I think it would be more important to find the areas of food around the con than actually finding our war around the hotel.

Yeah, a stroll through the neighboring blocks would be more applicable, I'm sure.

I'm still pretty sure I won't cosplay for this, but I think I will do something else, for the sake of the MB-Walkthrough.

I'm gonna bring my Bahamut Mallet! That way, I'll still have some weapon to play with in the walkthrough.

Well, I'll still show you guys around if some of you want to see the hotel. Even if it's not a huge group of cosplayers.

I think know exactly why there were complaints about the early con last year.  :o
Maybe if nobody screams, wrestles, and climbs on the roof then nobody will mind.

I have a pretty big map of the area already and I know just where the best and fastest places for food would be.

I don't think that would be a safe bet to make. There are too many people on these forums that are way to immature. If we did go through the hotel it would be quick and not a lot of stops.

I'm glad that you are still up for it though ^_^
