I got the call yesterday that the 'performance' for the weekend left around $7500 on the bill. When I told them all my cards were maxed out and my bank accounts were overdrawn, they were gracious enough to drop it down to $5500. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
This whole charging thing still leaves a horrible taste in my mouth because it doesn't make any logical sense. But I'm the moron who put his name on the dotted line.

There is around $1000 coming in from the silent auction. As I told a few people at the event, I really thought they were going to be a little more gracious about this.

Mark, I just printed the contract and showed to my SO/in house attorney to be and she said you are screwed. The contract is binding, the terms of cancellation are clearly spelled out. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. The fact that they tried to charge more to some is irrelevant, they are framing their damages as he agreed upon. It's called "Liquidated damages" which goes beyond what the basic room rate was. Her advice is to have your lawyer contact them and try to negotiate a compromise. If this was 6 months from now, she would be able to do it for you. She takes the bar in July so she is not yet licensed. Sorry. Why don't we wait until he heres this from real lawyers.

Scott is just trying to help and stated that his SO was not yet licensed so that people could consider that when reading her opinion. |

Hey Dr. I know it sounded brash, but I have no respect for Scott as I know he has screwed 914 enthusiasts more than one timeincluding myself. In fact we were just talking about all the people last night at out teener tuesday meet. Everyone has been trying to help, and then this yahoo comes on being very negative when he nor his lady friend is not a lawyer. Stay postive about this as we are all in this together. |
