[Deptheads] room crisis

[Eric D]

We should have somebody standing at the front desk, dressed as a hotel employee and asking people if they will be there for three days on Friday night.  If they say yes, then ask for their name and tell them they are getting signed up for a special drawing.  After the convention we turn in all of their names to the hotel with them as convention goers.

There, room crisis solved in one easy step.
