Re: Convention Rooms

[Gary Slagle II <499978331@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

I called hotel today and was able to reserve rooms from Tuesday - Sunday morning at the iris society rate - I mentioned the waiting list for Monday and was told I should book the room separately for Monday in case they have no more rooms available so I had to pay the $200 + for a concierge room - ( comes with food perks ) !! But if other rooms open up I should be able to move to my regular room , for the week - hope this helps - someone ......

When this gets sorted out please check with the hotel for people who went ahead and booked Monday so they can be moved into the group.  I wanted to be sure to get a room in the convention hotel.
