Have fun.

One thing I figured I would put out there.....

The North Texas Tollway (which goes from downtown northward to AA Center... or Galleria.... or whatevuhthefuck) has at least one toll spot where there is no booth, just a gantry. You cannot pay cash, even if you want.

Fine.... great even .... for residents with their transponders in the car.

A potentially murderous trap for people in a rental cal.

If you are taking out a rental car and have any possibility of being on this road, look very hard at signing up for the rental car transponder.

Even at $9 a day, it is a pittance compared with the $35 per incident they charge on the credit card for each time the car gets "tagged" going under this gantry.

I didn't even know the fucker was there. I come from an area where there are toll booths at every point and you have a cash option.

I was fich in a barrel for these Texas fux.

All right, here we go. Contract is signed.

They are holding 15 rooms, all king suites ($102 a night). They will be held until June 20 at that rate. After that, it's up to the hotel if they want to give you that rate or not. The rooms are books for Friday July 20-Monday July 23, but you do not have to reserve for all three nights to get that rate.

Check-in time is 3 p.m., check out is at noon. Breakfast is $9.50 per person.

All rooms must be accompanied by a first night room and tax deposit, or guaranteed with a major credit card.

To reserve your room, call the hotel at 817-394-5000.

Do I tell them I am with the SportsJournalists.com group?

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing (July 20-22) Hotel info now included

I was just going to post that. Thanks, Angola. Yes, the group name is SportsJournalists.com.

I logged out and realized I was an idiot and logged back in to add it. You're way ahead of me!

Let's rock like AC/DC.

It'll be around $53 with a roommate... some peeps are trying to fill four to a room.

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing (July 20-22) Hotel booking info now included

It was $53 a night total not per person.

 

Re: 2007 Dallas SJ outing (July 20-22) Hotel booking info now included

That's nuts.

Yeah, but this is Arlington, beeyotchez! Biggest town in 'Merica with no public transport! Where the homeless shelter parking lot is always full...of the homeless people's cars! Where legions of Hank Hills wander the aisles of Home Depot for a few moments of peace away from their churlish wives and monstrous children! Where preppies snort coke out of each others' butt cheeks and the mullet-tards smoke meth behind strip malls! Where you go after you've given up on all that's true and beautiful. Where you rent an apartment by an access road for $850/month...head on down to TGI Friday's in your SUV and eat fried cheese sticks and drink Bud Light until death. Arlington, beeyotchez.

Modified because I just woke up and I'm sure buckweaver didn't mean to sound like a complete douche.


Arlington ain't Vegas. Period.

And thanks, IJAG, for helping to move things along!
