My best friend's brother died in his 40's. She held a poker tournament for his family and we traveled to NY to attend. We purchased raffle tickets and won a night at the Waldorf in NY.
The first time I tried to call the guy ("Pete") for the hotel room, he didn't get back to me. I want to mention that this guy Pete organized the entire event. I mentioned it to my friend that I couldn't get in touch with Pete and she mentioned it to her dad -- her dad was upset and spoke to Pete. Pete called me back and had an attitude about it...but we decided that I'd call him in Sept. to plan the night.
It's September and I can't get in touch with him again. It's been two weeks.
Say something or drop it? I care a lot more about my friend then some stupid hotel room. But I also know that it means a lot to her that the prizes were legit...
Re: here is a wwyd situation
I am hesitant to do this bc I have no idea of Pete actually works there or if this is some under-the-table deal or what. I feel like if I do that, my friend would be like, "why didn't you tell me first."
I told her.Apparently, there's been some trouble with this guy -- he hasn't even given all the proceeds to my bf's sister-in-law...oy. Anyway, she really wanted to know.
She's going to look into it but I made sure she understands that I do NOT care about the hotel room and don't want anyone in the family fronting me the money for the room. What a mess.
