Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. Corecon SE 2017 is officially underway.
Louise is working out a contract with the hotel. In short, we will be responsible for guaranteeing to fill 10 rooms
for
5 contiguous nights. As of this post,
there are seven (7) rooms in the hotel on hold. Cost is approx $200
per night for a nice 4-star, King bedroom located in the city-center historic district. (That's a discount of approx 15%).
Check-in: Friday April 21
Check-out: Wednesday April 26
Room-wise, this is a sorta tough-to-do venue. The town's city-center, however, is almost custom-built for the "Pubcon
One Experience"
we all crave. As always, when we go above 12-16 in the group the logistics will go to hell, but we've pulled it off before.
For some reason, the hotel reminds me of the one in Limerick, IE. Louise frankly discussed our group's (apparently bizarre) meeting
requirements with the local Convention & Visitors Bureau staff, who then made an excellent recommendation for the hotel and surrounding
pubs & restaurants. Louise specifically addressed our past problems with US liquor laws and our free-style lobby meetings. We believe the
hotelier ended up with a grasp of our needs and offered some good suggestions.
Consider this to be a headzup. The first 7 to commit by posting below for the full 5 days get the rooms currently on hold.

AFAIK, I've now pm'd all of those that have previously said they are 'In' and pointed them to this post.
