Dunno if this is applicable, but for NSA '96 the hotel's *national* 
reservation service (800 number) didn't know anything about "NSA rooms" 
and hence if you called that number they told you they had no rooms 
available for NSA.  Calling the hotel directly (local number) and 
speaking with the desk clerk got you fixed right up.  I posted that 
local number here on P-3D and in an update for Stereo World.

That's about the extent of my involvement with rooms at NSA '96.  Never 
knew what the target number was, never found out if we reached it.  
Kind of lost interest in the whole damn convention about midday 
Saturday and started plotting murder instead....  Thank Peter Palmquist 
and Andy Griscom for saving a life that day.

Didn't Larry Moor (or was it Bill Moll?) recently post that NSA had 
increased the number of rooms from 490 up to 750?


Best regards,
Bill Davis
