Jus In Bello Convention

Hello guys,
Back from holidays yet?
Here we’ve been working no stop for you all and we will have some VERY NICE NEWS to share in short. Based on preferences you’ve sent us many people are going to be decidedly happy!
But guests announcement are for another time, today it’s a matter of explaining PRIZES and TRIO PHOTO OPS to you all.

We’ve been asked many times if trio photo ops (Jared+Jensen+Misha) would be available for JIB CON 2, unfortunately even after having struggled with the possibility for months we are unable to schedule a full photo op session with them all, it would be too costly, meaning we would have had to ask all of you higher contributions for single and double shoots, which we absolutely didn’t want to do.
But we also do not want to disappoint you, you know us and you are aware of this truth by now. So we’ve thought and thought and finally we’ve got a solution which seemed fair to us: a raffle to reward those who have sustained the event as much as possible.

6 TRIO PHOTO Ops will be given as prizes to 6 lucky people. Below here you will find detailed explanations for the raffle.

Then again some pointed out that not everyone would have a fair chance of getting this photo shoots and we should really consider making some available for the booking.
We’ve debated the possibility yet again and worked on a way to make it possible and in the end we have managed to squeeze in a few bookable TRIO PHOTO OPS.

Many of you already know about this because they've received the newsletter, but as it seems more than a few haven't gotten the email -for some unfathomable reasons- in the end we decided to post it on the website despite initial reluctance.

We didn't want to post it online BECAUSE THIS INITIATIVE IS OPEN ONLY TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE A PASS, those who won't be part of JIB CON in 2011 can't take part in this, and we would want to avoid pointless emails.

As things are now we post the information and the rules but please note 2 additional notes:

1 THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY SENT 1 EMAIL DON'T HAVE TO RESEND IT, IT WILL SIMPLY BE DISCARDED WITHOUT CONSIDERING

2 THOSE WHO WRITE FROM NOW ON MUST FORCIBLY INCLUDE THEIR PASS REFERENCE NUMBER. EMAILS WITHOUT A REFERENCE NUMBER WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR THE FINAL COUNT.

And here below the text of previous newsletter for everyone to read.

Many of you write to us asking this kind of information, so we've decided to create a sort of calendar for deadlines and announcements and we hope you can find it useful.

Hello everyone, here we are with news on rooms booking at the Hilton.
Hotel's management takes into account our complaint and has come to us with a new solution which could be good for everyone:

- when you book they charge your credit card for 1 night stay, this to make sure the card is valid and the booking serious, it seems like last year they had some trouble with fake booking. Some people booked and then didn't bother to send an email to cancel their resevation when they changed their mind. We know this can happen because we had the same problem with not so honest people reserving passes and then not going through with them.
- but you can cancel your booking untill 1 week before your arrival date and they will give you back your money without any fee
- you can make any necessary change to arriving or departure dates untill 48 hours before your arriving time without any additional fee (you can change from single to double or triple room and viceversa too, of course based on rooms availability at the moment of your request)

So basically they take an advance of 1 night to be sure you're serious with the booking but they're ready to give it back to you if you need to cancel your reservation and you send an email at least 1 week before arriving, you'll be free to take your time and they'll be protected against not so reliable clients which to us seems fair enough.
With the option to change number of nights and type of room till 48 hours before for free the solution to us appear a good one.

What do you think? let us know and we will tell the Hilton if this solution is acceptable. They're ready to listen to our suggestions on this matter, because they want all of you happy.

Last memo: if you wish to go on booking you can do so and new condition is already working so when doing so keep in mind your credit card will be charged for the cost of 1 night within a couple of days after your reservation is processed.
