[Kryssie M.]

Given that their marketing person contacted me, I think I'll be okay. :)

Cross-promoting with a specialty LARP con like WyrdCon seems like it would help both of us.  The Westin's only 2 blocks east of the Hilton, so people could wander from one con to the other pretty easily.

They settled on the LAX Westin, but the only weekend that the Westin could give them was the Memorial Day weekend. They would rather NOT be on that weekend, since they're aware that puts them in conflict with... well, everything. But they needed to land the hotel first, and then start seeking for a better date for NEXT year.
