Aramark surprise voice mail today

Looking for volunteers for the trailer. At this point no one has said they want it.

Since we will have the two mutts with us, we will take the big room at the trailer. If somebody else wants it, we're also OK with the hotel.

I have reached out to Brain several times today to get more info about the area. Also to get an update on possible additional trailers, and room rates. All calls have been unsuccessful. I'll keep you posted....

Thanks for all of your work Dave. This has turned into a colossal fuster-cluck.

Here is where I stand....I'm trying to make this work for all of us, and all of you have been great. The whole situation stinks, especially this late in the planning.  I'm hoping for the best outcome.

I'm going to try and continue to get a hold of Brian, who I assume is the Halls Crossing Manager through the next few days.

I'm going to call Aramark tomorrow and press them to compensate us for what has happened.

If I can not contact anyone and come to a conclusion by this weekend, I think we are all going to be on our own.

I'll keep you posted on everything I find out over the next few days. Hopefully with great news for everyone.

Thanks Dave, Timbo and I are good with whatever works best for the group.

Thanks Dave for all the effort you have put in this to get us accommodations for rooms.

Progress is slow unfortunately. I received a call today from Brian, but was at work. I couldn't work out any details, as all of my info was at home. I told him I would return his call at 4, and received his voicemail.

I once again called Aramark. For the second time I am getting info from them that our reservation still is intact. I expressed the fact that some of us have received calls indicating that the trailers will not be available. They are oblivious to any of this, and deferred me to keep in contact with Brian going forward. The only reassurance I got is that any reservation made can be canceled at this point if in fact the trailers are not available.

I should be out of work tomorrow mid day, and plan to get a hold a Brian when hopefully we can come to some sort of agreement. One way or another I hope to have answers for all of you by then.

One thing I'd like to add to this mess. Maybe all of us should start looking at alternative plans going forward. It seems there is no way that we are going to be able to enjoy the same amenities that we have in the past. At least for this year.

Best case scenario presented is we have one trailer. Most of us will be in a hotel room.

It might be time to look at an alternative outcome.

Just got off the phone with Brian. I sent him an email with our requests. He said he would try to get back to me tonight to confirm everything. I'll post his resonse as soon as I get it
