Some have asked “Why would I get a room at OMFG?” as it is only a single day event. There are some simple answers:
1. It is a late night event, and if you plan on joining us for the final wee hours at 3am you may find yourself too tired to drive. And driving when drowsy accounts for nearly 18% of all accidents in the road today. We’d hate for you to be in one of them so it’s just easier to get a room and join us for breakfast in the morning!
2. Where are you going to host your room party? Hallways aren’t a good place to host such event as it impeded traffic, and they are plain too noisy. Plus, it’s hard to play Apples to Apples without a table or bed to put the cards on. =) Even harder if you want to show anime or knock back with friends and a good beer in comfort.
3. After Saturday the price goes up. Seriously, we can’t stop the hotel from raising the rate. So if you want to secure that low rate better do it quickly! Need a roommate? There is still time to find one after getting the room at: Room And Rideshare forum.
4. Need a place for a quiet conversation and cool off after a heavy dance set? There you go! You have a nice location to disappear for a while with that person you want to get to know better!
5. Build your own fort….Did you reserve a room with two doubles? Well you can build your own little fort. Call it camp OMFGWhyUDoDat?
We could continue to list fun reasons, but to be serious for a moment the best reason to get a room is it directly helps MNFurs reach magical numbers the hotel set that reduces our cost. And this is critical as we look forward to doing larger multi-day events in the future. As 80% of our cost is the hotel space rental, and anything we can do to help reduce that cost means we can work on providing more at the event as well as help us reduce costs of future such events.
So please give Ramada Inn Mall of America a call at 1-877-731-8238 and the code “cganth”. Or go to OMFG webpage for information on how to get a room via their online system.
And in either case, we look forward to seeing you October 15th.
