I’m sooooo nervous! Last 5 years I haven’t gotten anything and entered around the 9:03-9:06 mark. . This time I got in pretty much right away and was done filling out 9:03. I’m gonna be so friggin happy if my “dry spell” finally ended lol. Good luck everyone!

Wow!  Please post and let us know you did!  Best of luck!
If stupidity got us in this mess, then why can't it get us out?

Absolutely not. I watched what happened last year and I don’t trust them.

I'm about to take off on a flight to San Jose. The wifi isn't working though, so I hope I have good news from my friend when I land. Just to get the anxiety over with

I didn't because of the extreme low chance of it becoming available from last year's lottery results. Even when you try to call them to ask them for specifics like if they actually had any rooms, or how many rooms they are going to provide at the con rate,  they give you the professional media voice, yes we are participating in the hotel lottery, please select us if you are interested in staying.

I was tempted to put Pendry as one of my choices, just because I figured that no one else would (because of the mess last year) but in the end I chickened out.
This was me exactly. I thought this will be the year that I get the Pendry because no one else will list them. That was my plan and I was sticking to it no matter what. Then the sale started and seconds turned into minutes. I didn't get in until 9:02 and I knew my chances were slim to none and I chickened out like a big ol baby

It will be interesting to see if anyone ends up with the Pendry.
It is a fairly close downtown hotel, so if you didn't get one of your top hotels choices, and you selected the "Book me at a hotel that is closest to the convention center, regardless of rate and shuttle availability" choice on your form, the Pendry may still be available to you if there are really any rooms be offered there.
If you selected the "Book me at any hotel that is on the shuttle route, regardless of rate or location" choice on the form, the Pendry would not be offered as it has no shuttle availability.
Hopefully we'll see at least some rooms become available this year.

Now I have to ask. What happened at the Pendry last year?
I feels so out of the loop.

The Pendry was an option in the lottery, just like this year, but no one got it.  So it seems like they don't really have rooms available.  Thus no one wants to take a chance on putting them in their 6 choices and waste a choice.

I feels so out of the loop.
There were a lot of people who selected the Pendry as one or more (the Pendry was offered with multiple room configurations) of their top 6 choices for downtown hotels, but no one was ever confirmed as being offered the Pendry hotel after the sale.
So, at the time, it seemed that it was really a waste of one or more choices on their forms.
