I got the call yesterday that the 'performance' for the weekend left around $7500 on the bill. When I told them all my cards were maxed out and my bank accounts were overdrawn, they were gracious enough to drop it down to $5500. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

This whole charging thing still leaves a horrible taste in my mouth because it doesn't make any logical sense. But I'm the moron who put his name on the dotted line. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

At this point I doubt there is anything I can really do about it. There is around $1000 coming in from the silent auction.

As I told a few people at the event, I really thought they were going to be a little more gracious about this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Anyone have any ties to the Hilton corp?
