Subj: [kl] Fest is declared open
Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2004 00:31:59 -0400

I have delivered the first of Fest participants to College Park and the
Conference Center. It looks very convenient. The Smith Theatre is a
stone's throw from the Conference Center. BTW, I received a phone call on
Friday telling me that the Center was overbooked and I was being bumped to
a location 3 miles from the site. I have a confirmation of reservation
that was made on March 26th. I KNOW they weren't booked full then. On
Monday morning I am exerting whatever authority I might have and am getting
my room back, come hell or high water. I made my early reservation to
avoid this problem. I have a confirmation letter that says my reservation
is "guaranteed". I'll move, if they pay for my stay elsewhere. I say let
'em bump the latecomers. If any of the rest of you are having this
problem, you need to call the Conference Center (use this number -
301-985-7300) and speak to Mike Castaldi . If that doesn't work, call
Robert Walzel. End of rant!
