Costume-Con 26 Hotel Update
May. 9th, 2006 05:22 pmLast night the Costume-Con 26 Facilities Liason informed me that we appear to be a GO for the final weekend of April 2008 at the San Jose Doubletree Hotel.
That would be April 25-27, 2008, plus or minus a day or so once we finish the contract discussions.
Contract negotiations, of course, can go awry, but barring any wildly unforeseen complications we will be announcing rates and opening registration Memorial Day weekend.
Hoorah!

Doubletree "forgot" to mention that option when I was staffing a very green con (none of us had ever run a con before, oops) and we got screwed. Had we known we could have signed off on an option to sell half as many room nights (a number we made) or owed twice as much money for the space, well... the con wouldn't have lost quite so spectacularly much... *shudder*
But I bet I'm preaching to the choir, right? ;)
And you betcha bootie I'll be registering. :)
