For the September 25 meeting, I spoke with a reservation agent at the Capitol Hill Suites. They're not inclined to offer anything like the deal they gave last time. Not for the week we're talking about. He will hold a block of 10 rooms, if I can guarantee that they (or most of them) will be booked, and let him know by 6pm tonight (it's about 1:45 pm now). The rate will be $199. So I'd like to take a very quick straw poll -- if you are reasonably certain that you'll book, let me know immediately. If several of you respond affirmatively I'll tell him to block the 10 rooms. (It seems that there is a major womens soccer tournament that week and the hotel rooms are selling fast. If we did it the following week instead we could get rooms for $130. I'm not suggesting we change the date, but if enough people are interested, we could think about it.) --Ray
