Until NHC registration opens up. There will be less room in Seattle than there was down in San Diego, so I would suggest registering early. Last year was my first, and I’m lucky enough to be within driving distance this year.
Hopefully Jamil will bring a couple kegs of his Heretic brew up here as there is no way to get in Washington State right now.
Got my plane tickets yesterday.
With less rooms at this hotel than last year, are there overflow hotels near the conference, or would it require a cab ride?
Yea, the WSLCB isn’t in a friendly mood since we took away their monopoly on hard alchohol. Craft distilleries are really having problems in Washington State.
What a joke that was…but at least my capital budget for new equipment was huge. Now it seems like I have to give a gallon of blood just to buy a new PC.
33 days and counting now…113 until my trip to Disney…173 until The BN Anniversary Party…174 until NHC.
This is going to be a good year ( except for that world-ending thing in December )
The issue with the hotel is not the number of bedrooms available, but the conference meeting space. When we planned and submitted our bid well in advance, we (and the AHA) didn’t expect the conference to grow as quickly as it has.
That said there are numerous hotels in the area that you could stay at as an alternative.
