RE: [802SEC] Under the radar: Been there, Done that !!!
Geoff, I hate to spoil your surprise but we have already contracted with the La Posada to provide over 100 rooms of overflow accommodations at an $89/$99 S/D rate for us, and we will be including their info in the meeting information package which goes out on Monday. Next time you might want to check with us for what we have available before you start making such announcements. It would generally NOT be a good idea for you to be promoting rooms outside our contracted blocks since that could cause us to undersell our contracted amounts and incur sometimes steep attrition penalties.
Thanx, Buzz

Subject: [802SEC] Under the radar: 11/03 Plenary Room Reservations
I have found a hotel that is actually VERY close to the Hyatt that slips
under most radar as it is no longer affiliated with a chain. It is less
than 2 blocks away from the Hyatt. that is a lot better than most
alternatives. It is also less expensive than the Hyatt.
From its web page it looks charming.
I plan to book in.
