We haven't negotiated terms yet, anyway, so the dates aren't def yet. I think the basic terms look much better than I had hoped, given the kinds of prices we had been hearing. I couldn't make those higher rates work unless we had several hundred show up, which would have been unlikely at those prices -- and Atlanta has 15% taxes on hotel rooms, to boot.
These prices are reasonable and I think we can expect the same sort of demand that we had in prior years. Now, financially, it depends on the auctions and acution donations (FAN), the vendors, and, of course, who's on the bill. I think with Amano and a special issue of TFH, we could package something pretty nice.
In terms of cashflow, we remain floating at roughly $60G, give or take about $4g, dending on when the last TAG was produced. I think we can afford to bring in more than one foreign speaker if we don't have to worry about roomrates depressing attendance.

Sorry, no. It's already at the mailers. :-(
