OK, I am just going to toss this out:
I am working very hard on efforts to be able to attend the SLCC in San Francisco on August 18-20. One of the problems I'm running into is that most all the hotels are pretty well booked, and the ones that aren't are rather high.
Is there, by chance, anyone who might have a room that they wouldn't mind splitting? I'd be glad to cover my share of the costs involved (so long as you didn't pick a terribly expensive place). Or if you live in SF and have a spare room, I'd be glad to rent it for those two nights.
If this is a possibility, give me a holler via PM or IM; I do have some special requirements that I don't necessarily want to discuss in the open forums quite yet.
Thanks in advance,
P2
