According to the person i spoke with, Marriott system crashed and no one can make a reservation for D-Con for a few more minutes!

*sigh*

After however-the-frell-many years, don't they realize that there's several thousand geeks waiting with browsers up and fingers madly pressing the refresh button at precisely 8:00 am EDT on Marriot Registration Morning.

This is so fucked up.

I got a room!!

And freed up the phone for someone else.

(You may all hate me now.)

[tomdpimp.livejournal.com]

I DO! (lucky!)

[sneezythesquid.livejournal.com]

IN!

ugh, I got it and the submit button wouldn't work :(:( Was using firefox 3.6.8 ... trying IE now...

[moyawyvern.livejournal.com]

I can't even choose the room. Seemed to crash during that. Tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

[greycoupon.livejournal.com]

Wow, I got the live DC passkey site to load so I could select dates... hit submit and nada. Back down again.

Am calling back again. Maybe by the time I get through their system will be back?

[brak42.livejournal.com]

me too! firefox and IE! :(

[philmoseisleian.livejournal.com]

I got through on the phone at 7:12 A.M. CT and told all rooms are sold out.

Are you kidding? Please say you're kidding? I may cry.

Hilton is starting to sound GREAT right now...

[scandalkitty.livejournal.com]

Anyone else starting to hate the, "We appreciate your patience in continuing to hold, the next available agent will be with you shortly" lady? Quit telling me how to be patient and take my reservation, robo woman!

[trybutez.livejournal.com]

Actually, I was considering proposing... I'm feeling we have a connection.

[zanylikethat.livejournal.com]

I keep getting the "partial" page load, where you can see the fields, but most of them don't work for filling and the submit button doesn't actually work.

COLD COLD TEASE. *cries*

[jovianbay.livejournal.com]

well i got through and they said system is crashed. i told her other people have gotten a room but she said she can't get in and i had to call back or try the website. dammit!! how did you others get your room??

[trybutez.livejournal.com]

They changed the music. It got my hopes up... only to be dashed against the rocks of bitter disappointment...

[watcher652.livejournal.com]

Aw, my session expired. Too long hitting Try again.

[kumori-tatsu.livejournal.com]

I'm going to KILL SOMEONE!!! I made it through entered my credit card info and then the site frakking blew up!!

[davindalilazn.livejournal.com]

Same page for me... *sigh*

[hmsjohnston.livejournal.com]

Well, at least I have a backup room at the Sheraton. I figured this would happen. o.0

[trybutez.livejournal.com]

This. Though we went with the Westin this year...

*epic sigh*

Haven't made it back to the Marriott in three years, though not for lack of trying.

[philmoseisleian.livejournal.com]

I'm on the site, but nothing happens when I hit Search after entering the date and room info.

You're lucky. My session expired once I got this far and kicked me out.

[jovianbay.livejournal.com]

i think my head will implode. have 3 phones on speaker, listening to the music and patience appreciation message at three different times. and website is frozen on room selection. is this what hell is like?

[bsgfreakazoid.livejournal.com]

I just got off the phone with a human and we're in. I guess I got lucky.

[lethlogica.livejournal.com]

Same here - patience on the phone got me in.

I was a little bummed that they weren't accepting my Marriott Rewards card...but, eh, I got their confirmation number, I got their email, so I'm good. I also thought it a little weird that even though I told him I wasn't "arriving" until September 2, he just booked me the entire block (August 31 - September 4.) Right check-out date, wrong check-in date. (I got LMT reservations for the nights of 8/31 and 9/1 - lower rate.)

[all-booty.livejournal.com]

OMG It's a miracle! I got one!

[lethlogica.livejournal.com]

Congrats!!! I got one about 10 minutes ago.

[lethlogica.livejournal.com]

People on the phones, stay on the phones...but keep trying the internet. They have "lots of extra people in today" on the phone banks. Just don't hang up.

Luck to you all!!!

[sneezythesquid.livejournal.com]

I find your icon very interesting.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Just got my room by phone. The guy told me that he couldn't do it, but I told him other people were booking right now by phone and he suddenly realized that he could do it. So don't let them hang up on you without a fight!

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Also, I almost got a res on the website, but IE was the only browser that would load it. Then it crashed halfway through.

[sneezythesquid.livejournal.com]

GOT IT!

[keelyvh.livejournal.com]

My home phone died!! No dial tone! What bad luck!!

[lethlogica.livejournal.com]

Awwww (*@#^%LSHO(*^

Yea and verily, that sucketh.

[trybutez.livejournal.com]

Crap... they're playing STING! Now I will have to kill someone...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_ladyvader_/]

I may or may not have a res...It crashed right after I put in the CC info...
