Thanks, Jackass

So the Hilton Anatole decided early this morning that they'd turf QuakeCon out in favour of some Pharmaceutical convention. Not impressed.
They've cancelled and refunded all QC rate reservations, at least. So thats a start.

We're now located at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, some 20 Miles to the North-West of the old location.

I've heard good things about both the hotel and the area. But that doesn't give me a room reservation.
The issue lies in the bookings, of course. Since the announcement, every single room in that hotel has been sold out for the nights of the 12th & the 13th. They have promised an allotment of rooms with a special QC rate to be released next Monday the 6th of July. We just have to cross our fingers and hope like hell that we'll get in on those rates. If we don't, we're up for a separate hotel, something I'm not really interested in doing. Even if it is a safer area to walk around in.

Well...I guess at least the Taxi fare will be cheaper.
