Even the DoubleTree where P-con is, is having an issue.</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div> <div id="bloop_sign_1429673415876912128" class="bloop_sign"></div> <br><p style="color:#000;">On April 21, 2015 at 8:19:28 PM, Robin Lee Powell (<a href="mailto:rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org">rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org</a>) wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq"><span><div><div></div><div>

<br>No, I *really* didn't know that.
<br>
<br>Interesting how the room block is completely sold out for Sunday
<br>night.
<br>
<br>Ah. Maybe the room block shows as sold out *because* of this
<br>problem.
<br>
<br>But you'd think Sabre would have mentioned that when we emailed
<br>about rooms on Sunday?
<br>
<br>http://baycon.org/bcwp/ definitely agrees with you.
<br>
<br>What the hell?
