So I get an email from the "landlords" that will be renting out the place to myself and about 10 others stating that they want an additional $1000 for deposit. Apparently they think we're a bunch of hooligans and that we're going to trash the place. I told them that we were there for a card tournament and immediately they think Poker. They thought we were some brash group of college kids, in town to wreak havoc. It couldn't really be further from the truth.
I link her to the PT site, http://wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Events.aspx?x=mtgcom/protour/honolulu09 , for those of you not aware. We're nerds. We game. That's what we do.
After reviewing this, I try to talk them down to $1500 just so that I can actually HAVE a place for us to stay, as we're close to a month out and I don't really have the time or patience to go through this process again. Plus I don't want to have to tell people that they're not going to be able to stay if I find a smaller place (who do I kick out, how is that fair, etc etc.).
It was just a long and painful process and hopefully is all works out. This trip should be a blast.
