InZane XVII Registration is OPEN!!

[wiggydotcom]

The wigmeister is back... After a one year absence, I just registered for this year's Inzane. Can't wait!

It was hard to sit on the sidelines last year knowing how much fun I was missing. Considering my beloved Interstate was totalled after leaving my last one in Spearfish, I need to write a different ending to this year's version.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again, although I hope you'll accept that I'll be on an F6b. I still love being around Valks and their owners.

Great News Wiggy!!!

C U There!

Thanks, Jimmy. Looking forward to seeing you and the Misses also! And even that Disco character!

We only have 9 so far coming from Canada (4 BC/5 AB). WA has 11, and if I'm correct, a few names aren't there yet.

Umm...10.

I know according to most of your signature maps, the world ends at Alberta...but Saskabush is in Canada too. 

#Sasklivesmatter

So is Manitoba ........

Almost sounds like someone from the Centre of the Universe, Toronto.

If I missed you when I posted, Sorry. But as of my post I had only noticed BC & AB registrants. So how many others have I missed from Canada?

[Beardo]

Just messing with ya.

Looking forward to meeting a few more of the gang out there.

[Crazyhorse]

It seems that I'm the only one signed up from the Great State of Tennessee. Looking forward to seeing you guys in a few months.

Finally pinned the spousal unit down, she's coming and bringing the troublets!

Woot!!

(And free bump)

I thought they were the Serklets!  What order did make their break from the womb?

Heh, they didn't break out, they had to be forcibly evicted...

But Kaelynn was first, Brian II was 30 seconds later and Blake 30 seconds after Brian II...

So, the boys had a womb with a view for a short time.... LOL, I crack myself up!

I was gonna post some of the pictures I've got of their extraction to gross you out...

...but then I remembered what you do for a living...

(But yeah, I do have pictures...)

[DirtyDan]

Ok I'll bite. I am a retired jersey city pipefitter. What do you do for a living ?

Trouble in paradise. Because of a mistake on my part, I don't have a reservation at Ground Zero. I've placed my name on a list in case of cancellations.

If anyone finds they don't need a room and would like to give it up, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. There might even be cold beverages involved.

Thanks in advance (hopefully),

Bob

Well, I'm glad I signed up and made reservations when I did!  I had no idea they would be full this early.

There is no way that hotel is full.

You do need to call the hotel directly and identify yourself as a VRCC InZane attender.  If you call a national 800 number to make a reservation it will show as full as all the rooms have been set aside for VRCC InZane.

[Serk]

Well, I'm glad I signed up and made reservations when I did!  I had no idea they would be full this early.

Yeah, we called last week to try to add a 2nd room since the spousal unit and spawnlets are coming and they told us they had rooms, but not at the Inzane rate...

So guess we'll just get really cozy in the room we've already got...

Edit to add - And this was from calling the hotel directly.

f6gal, don't we have the entire hotel blocked?

[motomama]

Serk, they are supposed to contact me if someone wants to reserve more than one room, as they are only allowed 1 room per registration number.  If you are still wanting a second room, I can call them and have them add it.

Also, there are no King rooms left, as they have all been taken but there are plenty of double queens, and a few suites available.  The suite rates are a little bit more.

Serk should have multiple registration numbers.

I can see where that distribution of rooms would occur.  There are more folks in the VRCC that identify themselves as kings than might be expected.  There are fewer sweet members than the population at large ratio would indicate.  The number of double queens within the VRCC is very, very low.

This is a question that I have never considered but, I'm happy to know this bit of information.   It's somewhat comforting to know that the "Queens" are not in the majority.  

Not that there is anything wrong with being a "Queen".    Not real sure about that double "Queen" thing though.  

Oh Yeah, BUMP....

Yes, entire hotel is blocked.

I was told that 100 rooms were blocked for the VRCC, and all were taken. She also mentioned that there was a Jehovas Witness convention in the house.

Carl,

I called the number on the reg receipt. I was very specific in my questioning, she seemed pretty sure. I'd love for you to tell me otherwise.

[Willow]

I just spoke with the hotel.  I expect them to get this straightened out soon.  There may be a problem with a new girl (or guy?) on the desk.  The entire hotel will show full as it is blocked for us.  Apparently someone didn't know to go into the block.

There is a Jehovah's Witness gathering the first week of June in the hotel.  If you want to get in on that one you may be too late.

[Serk]

Spousal unit just called and was able to make her reservation without any issues (Other than us having to come up with the money for it of course... )

Thanks staff for smacking the hotel around and getting 'em straightened out!

Outstanding! Thanks for getting right on this...

I was starting to think about camping out back of the hotel....

[Gryphon Rider]

I'm gonna have to study up on my Koine Greek, as it relates to John 1.   The local JWs don't stop at my door anymore, and I'm really nice to them.  

Oh, just saw Willow's post that the JWs are there at another week.  Oh, well.

[Wizzard]

i always invite the JW's in,, gives me a chance to witness to them.

Man, that would sure make for an interesting Inzane. I think Motomamma and f6gal should scout out some larger hotels for next year to make this happen.

Come a few weeks early and double your fun.

You got the VRCC rate, right? 

Gotta say, I'm a little curious about the spawn distribution in the rooms.

[Serk]

When she called today we did, when I called last week they were quoting me a MUCH higher number, thanks for getting it all straightened out!

TECHNICALLY most hotel rooms are capped at 5 occupants so we usually just sneak the 6th in but yeah, it gets to be a challenge, which is why she's getting a 2nd room at ground zero.

We're gonna run it as two separate family vacations that happen to converge for a while in Montana, the elder spawn and me on the Valk, and the spousal unit and the 3 spawnlings in a cage traveling on a totally different schedule to and from ground zero.

Wow...was looking forward to meeting you Serk, but sure doesn't sound like you'll be having much time to visit with strangers
Nothing like having the whole clan together though

Heh, I'll be MAKING time to meet all my friends I've never met!

Besides, that'll just make it easier to spot me, look for the 2 meter tall guy with a pony tail and a gaggle of ankle biters swarming him!

[ChromeDome]

Registered and got my room.  See you in Billings, MT.!

[baldo]

Made my reservation today, easy peasy...

Thanks again...

Ya know, kids who are ankle biters to you are belly biters for others of us!

InZane registration has slowed down lately.  We're at 213.  I was hoping to be 300 by now.  I know we will get a bunch more with the home stretch rush but I'd like to see them sooner. 

If you're planning to go but haven't signed up yet now would be a really good time.  It's really nice riding country and there will be a lot of fun folks there.

I've heard the occasional comment that there's always next year.  Next year is not guaranteed for any or all of us.

We'll plan on seeing some folks in Billings.

You have know idea how this resonates with me right now!

Get on the band wagon folks!!!

OK, nuff said... I pulled the trigger a few minutes ago... Now all I have to do is ride all the way out there and actually show up... Sure hope I'm up to it...
