hm.  I think your airfare will be much heftier than hotel.  Not
sure if there's anything organized yet, but you can probably figure
on a cost of $70 - $100 per night. 

Was someone going to organize group rates?  I'd think we'd be able
to save a bit off rack rates.  Of course, we'll also be in town over
the weekend.  With a little luck things will be cheaper than normal
business travel.
