Defcon 13 - Official announcement

[octalpus]

I just tried to book the 29th-31st @ AP and they said they were all sold out

I called 1-800-297-0144 (a booking agent). Does anyone have a better phone number
for me to call? This will be my 1st DC and I want to stay at AP and get to have the full experience if ya know what I mean...

You need to call the AP directly and book as a Defcon attendee. We take up all the rooms, there are no other rooms available to outside reservation sources. Their number is 1.800.582.2228.

To someone with a reservation:

What are they charging this year? I see that the standard rooms are now $199/night, and I believe the "Defcon markup" was around 33% last year.

someone with a reservation replies...

I made a reservation directly with the hotel via their 800 number. They are charging full rack rate ($199 plus tax for a Monarch suite).

They are sold out... sorry, better luck next year. I guess it doesn't matter too much, Defcon is cancelled anyway.

That's right, come early for all the venison you can eat! If you find the hood ornament you get a special prize!

Ah. That is why I could not find mention of DefCon in the US 2005 Budget.

Is that a con that is hosted by Tow Truck Drivers, Auto-Repair shops, and Utah LEO with all you can eat venison?

Dangit! While I was composing this response, AlxRogan beat me to the venison punchline.

Hehe, the best part:

Expecting that the worst was behind us, we entered Utah.
