That Darned Pelican Virus. :-)

.....So, yesterday we had a meeting with the Catering Manager at the Silverdale Beach Hotel concerning Kingdom A&S. I handed over the deposit check and told him that everything was a 'GO' from our side. He handed me a copy of the contract with the word 'TENTATIVE' on it. When I asked him about that he told me that he needed to put a final version together and get his management's final buy-off on it. I was rather disappointed by that. I was hoping to pull the trigger last night on advertising for KAS. I was told though that I needed to hold off until the 27th or 28th. At that time room reservations will actually go to our number of rooms and people making those reservations will get the SCA discount, which in itself will be a $20 per night savings versus the standard price. So it will pay to hold off for a week before making that reservation.

.....Her Excellency and I walked the site and started discussing what we would do with each section. This is where the virus kicked into high gear. We both started geeking out on lay-out and got excited over the possibilities. It really ends up looking a couple of birds squawking and flapping over a favorite treat as our voices raised and we interrupted each other with ideas. I'm sure that it is a funny site to watch from the outside. :-)

.....Two tracts of Ithra are a for sure thing. And we scouted out a space for a third. It is in the exercise area, so we want to take Pernell there first before we call it good. But I think it will work.

.....We scouted out a separate storage room that we think will work for a judges 'kabitzing' room and allow us to have the big room they used last time. I really want to see the guilds go into that room and given space to expand and actually set up nice displays that will not have to be taken down each night. Way cool.

.....Both hospitality rooms are under our wing for meetings and royalty, so that will be nice. The hotel took out the kitchenettes, but the rooms look very nice and will function well for the intended purpose, especially if we ask the hotel to take out the extra bed and put in more chairs.

.....The restaurant is preparing a nice menu for us in mind. They've got 'medieval' ideas. Her Excellency looked a little skeptical at that, but I'm excited to see their proposal. I like the fact that they are so willing to get this involved. :-) I think that HE Brighid is excited about the fact that they are going to develop a menu that will keep people at the hotel.

.....For some reason I thought that the Oxford Suites across the street was associated with the Silverdale Beach Hotel, but they are a completely different outfit. So we'll concentrate on getting the SBH filled FIRST before shuffling over there. The SBH is offering a good price for rooms, so I don't think that it will be a problem.

.....The remodelling job done on the SBH turned out great. I think that people will like it when they see it. The bar and restaurant are completed and the Espresso Stand is in full operation. So if people were happy in 2006, they will really be happy in 2008.

.....I'm excited, I think that this is going to be fun. :-)

.....Team Haggis 2.75 e-list will be out shortly. :-)
