I had to split my hotel bookings, but that's ok. At least I have somewhere to stay. My regular stay location (Parc 55) was completely booked. It would have been really nice to be able to stay there again as that is where WOWODC will be this year. Oh well. Also, if you search Hotwire.com for June 10 - June 14, 2008 in San Francisco, you'll see a 4.5 star hotel for $126 / night. I got that one and it's actually the Intercontinental Hotel on Howard Street. On the same street as Moscone! It's a brand new hotel. Their regular price is over $500 / night I think. Anyway, just a few tips for ya for your WWDC '08 trip. See ya there! ____________________________________________________________________ Brendan Duddridge | CTO | 403-277-5591 x24 | brendan@clickspace.com ClickSpace Interactive Inc.
