We were petrified about the cost of the hotel - the job had reserved the block of rooms so they were only $125 for the one night - but we were there for days... and the sign ont eh back of the door said room were usually $350---
but we were very lucky . the hotel honored the lower price per night for the whole stay and then Vixdad's office reimbursed him for the whole time
The rest of the people in his office, being local folks, had checked out after the party and headed home when the storm hit so we had no one else to hang out with .. we ended up wandering over to a sports bar next door that had a trivia game going on for a good part of most days
