[CJAS Otakon] Hotel for Otakon Hotel 2008

[James Kao]

Hi all,

You should have just received an e-mail indicating that I have opened
up registration for otakon hotel. If you are not interested in staying
with the hotel block I am arranging, feel free to ignore the message.

The hotel this year is the Holiday Inn Baltimore Inner Harbor, and
with our traditional 6 per room staying arrangement, that works out to
about $67.60 for the whole weekend.

As with previous years, hotel registration will be done using the
affinity web application, which allows you to specify your roomate
preferences. Here are the important dates and steps:

By July 20:

Log into affinity and confirm your intent by clicking "Confirm Intent"
in the left navbar. While doing so, you can indicate whether you'd
prefer a 4 person or 6 person room (obviously 4-person will be more
expensive). Because my number of hotel rooms is fixed, in order to
accomodate everyone who wants to join, I may end up packing 6 people
into all the rooms. Thus, this is a _preference_ that I may or may not
be able to adhere to.

Also, check back periodically to select and update your
affinities. This indicates the people you would prefer to room with,
and is very important for the room selection process. It makes room
selection less of a race, and helps make sure that everyone gets to
stay with whom they want.

Between July 20 and July 31: Log into affinity and select your
room. You can see who else is already in a room when you make your
choice.

If you have ANY questions whatsoever, please e-mail me and I will
respond promptly. Thanks!!
