World Heel Meet 2008, London: Sat. Feb. 16th - Page 4

There have been quite a few questions already about doubling up on the rooms, i.e. when you split the rate of 98 pounds two ways it makes for a very economical stay in central London at a full service hotel with full service rooms that includes a full english breakfast, taxes, VAT, right on the Tube and a block from a major train station. i.e. 49 pounds per person.

Put your thinking caps on now so you can link up with a friend you've made here on HHPlace, start PM'ing your friends now so when we announce the Hotel and Booking Instructions you'll be all set to go. Dr. Shoe and Kneehighs had a great suggestion to help those who do not have any links to a friend etc. to set up a "Roomie Connection". When we announce the Hotel/Booking Instructions we will also start a "Roomie Connection" service through a PM to iLoveBoots. The goal is to make sure members who want to attend can do so economically and eliminate as many obstacles as possible. The World Heelmeet truly is a wonderful experience and the more members we have attending the more enjoyable it will be for everyone and many members will discover that there are many many Heel Friends out there to share their experiences with.

Countdown to the 2008 World Heelmeet..................264 days !!!!!!!

Seeing a trail of men in heels line the horizon of a street like in the above pic just doesn't happen everyday!

I think we are all familiar with Benjamin Franklin, a supreme Founding Father to the United States. One of the things Ben Franklin would do when faced with a decision is draw up a Pro/Con list.

Let's do this for your situation, FreeMannWorld

Problem: Should I spend 49 pounds per night to stay with the World Heel Meet 2008 group?

Lets really look at this. Above you said you would be comfortable spending up to 40 pounds a night for a room. The difference between 49 and 40 is 9, so really we are talking about a 9 pound per night distinction here.

PROS.................................CONS

1. being close to the group makes it easier to make new
friends, which is really what
this meet is all about

1. Costs 9 pounds more per night

2. makes transportation in
foreign city easier (group cabs, tube)

3. If I stay alone, I'll be all by
myself in a hotel room and
possibly feel lonely/left out

4. Being close to the group
makes my trip to London about
the WEEKEND, not just the day
of the meet.

5. The 49 pounds includes TAXES
and FEES. Most likely I will pay
the 9 pound difference
anyway at another hotel, why
not this one?

6. This includes BREAKFAST. Yum
If I pay for breakfast elsewhere,
it will cost from 5-10 pounds, if not
more.

7. I am getting a great deal.
The average price per night
for this hotel is $312/night U.S.

I'm sure you can come up with more reasons to fill in yourself. And as I am sure you will see, the PROS of paying a mere 9 pounds more per night to stay with us will far outnumber the CONS.

Yes it might be a month's salary but why not think in terms of putting something by each week?

At the moment you have about 40 weeks to save, just $10 a week will sort out your room, only $1.43 per day. That's the small change you empty out of your pocket at the end of the day.

I am totally not making fun of you. I usually don't make fun of people unless I already know them well anyway. I'm just really excited to have you join us and if in my enthusiasm I communicated otherwise, I'm sorry.

And please don't feel stupid. Anyone who is willing to fly to London from Denmark for a heel meet is exhibiting courage, and to me, that is one of the rarest forms of functional intelligence around.

FreeMannWorld:
Don't worry about room charing. Remember most of us guys comes alone and no one wants to pay for a double room himself. I have never stayed alone during my so far 3 heel meets and I don't mind charing a room with you. And you are wrong when you say you don't know anyone here, you know me, don't you? And there is your fellow countryman pumps who I hope will come to next meeting too.

If you worry about the trip; maybe we will travel at the same time/flights. I haven't booked anything yet but I am sure I will go from Copenhagen airport. Last time I flew with Sterling which is good because they go to Gatwick and not far away in wilderness. And it did cost 688DKK for a return ticket. Can't really complain about that.

Do NOT miss out this heel meet because of financial reason. The boost it gives you when meeting fellow heelers/fashion people is awesome. Trust me on this one.

C ya in London!!
