But here some factors that make me think there has been little to no room poaching<div><br></div><div>1. We sold out our block at Gateway and had to grab any room we could. No Gallifrey One there</div><div>2. Our pre reg is through the roof.</div><div>3. Gallifrey One sold all of its available tickets last March.</div><div>4. Gallifrey One opens its room block in March/April of the prior year. It sells out instantly. We open ours if all goes well in September for Orccon. As a Gallifrey One attendee, you're taking your chances on waiting for us.</div><div><br></div><div>The one annoying thing is that the Hilton is listed as a nearby hotel on the Gallifrey One web site, and it erroneously lists them as having the lowest price.</div><div><br></div><div>So my guess is they could very well be sucking up rooms at the hotel, but not in our block. That said, I'm going to check.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, we will probably start gating our block with con registration just to be sure, but when we hit this problem again, then what?</div><div><br></div><div>Eric</div><div><br><div><div>On Jan 28, 2015, at 7:31 PM, Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Message From: Shane Sauby <a href="mailto:ssshanucon@yahoo.com">ssshanucon@yahoo.com</a><br><div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; "><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1422502248586_2848">Would not surprise me.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1422502248586_2849"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1422502248586_2850" dir="ltr">SSS<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1422502248586_2851"><span></span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> On Wednesday, January 28, 2015 7:14 PM, Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv2246790331"><div dir="ltr">It has been suggested that I post this pondering here:<br><br><span> </span><span>I
