Are you really trying to blame Gary for any of this? For future reference, anytime you plan to go to an event, whether it be a wedding, car show, or comic con, and someone has set up a hotel for you to stay in at a discounted rate, they have signed a contract for the hotel to block of a certain amount of rooms until an agreed upon date at which the rooms will become available to the general public.


Gary went out of his way to help you, and to blame him for a misunderstanding is a slap in the face.
