....not it.

and i dunno dude; provided we're not meeting in one of the busiest places during one of the busiest times during the convention (ie, directly in the traffic of people trying to leave a hamza yusuf/zaid shakir main hall session), i kinda think it'd work better if we were at the convention center rather than trying to figure out rides (ie, how many girls can i squeeze into my car) to/from a restaurant (or 3 closed restaurants).

thoughts?

Default Re: 45th Annual ISNA Convention

seriously, i have never seen an organization as incompetent as isna. i hate them. we reserved 4 rooms for 3 days. our confirmation says, 4 rooms, 3 days. how many did they actually reserve? ONE room for three days. And their response? "oh, I'm sorry... but the hotels are all booked up now." seriously? SERIOUSLY? they pull this **** EVERY year. you would think that eventually they would grow a brain and realize how incompetent they are and set aside rooms to clean up their mistakes OR let the hotels take care of booking the rooms since clearly isna has no idea wtf they are doing... year after year after year.

4 rooms?

Is this a khandan affair?

or is that your entourage that you roll with?
