"FREE Tickets" should be in the title

 

[XTreat]

I can't see the sub-forum, I do not have access to it yet. So I need hotel information either on this thread or in a PM please.

 

[torchbearer]

Hotel info for everyone.

hotels south of poydras street could be a bit low class and unsafe. except for those on the south side of the mississippi (the west bank)

I'm going to start a new thread on this.

Without any details from the SRLC about the straw poll yet, it's hard to say, but going by last year's, which was on Friday/Saturday/Sunday instead of Thrusday/Friday/Saturday, getting there after 11am on Friday (which corresponds to 11am Saturday last year) is really pushing your luck. While straw poll voting continued right up until about 4:30pm Saturday, you had to have checked in before 1pm on Saturday in order to vote. So I'd assume you need to check in by 1pm or earlier on Friday this year.

Thanks for the reply, I live like 45 mins from New Orleans so If I need to check in by 1, I may be able to make it. But if i have to miss work I will since Friday is not an important day usually at work( we work 9 hrs monday-thursday so we can get off friday early[4 hrs]). I'm hoping the straw poll is on Saturday this year, but if Ron is speaking Friday then better for poll to be then.

I registered yesterday for tickets, we will be driving in on Thursday night from College Station, so hopefully we won't miss too much. Where is this SLRC forum? I don't see it anywhere.

Click the Ron Paul 2012 forum header so you see all the subforums, it is spelled out

Just seeing this post. I am removing these locations. Thanks.
Avenue Garden Hotel
Queen Anne
Quality Inn & Suites Maison St. Charles
Hampton Inn & Suites New Orleans - Convention Center

These are actually all perfectly safe locations. Anything downtown from St. Charles to the river or anywhere on St. Charles is safe.

You might want to go to the SRLC subforum and see if you have info you can add, since you know the area.

Ron really needs to win this to garner more media attention. It seems they are leaving him out of the news cycle since Mrs. Moose, and Romney are attempting to make noise, not to mention Cain whom they are heavily propping up..

 

[sailingaway]

And they just sprung this straw poll recently, it wasn't originally planned, so no one pushed this.

 

[Debbie Hopper]

Straw poll voting will be in the Grand Salon on Friday from 11am - 6pm and Saturday from 11am - 1:30pm.

If you registered for tickets on RP2012.com, you can pick up your credentials at the RP 2012 registration desk on the 3rd floor in the Ascot room.

Will let you know if any of this changes.

 

[Debbie Hopper]

Oh, and RP is scheduled to speak at 2pm on Friday.

There will be a reception for supporters, with RP, at Gordon Biersch from 4pm - 6pm.

 

[Thomas]

Thanks for the info Debbie!
