OK, I'll get right on it.  Let me know if you see anything
wrong with my thinking here.  I can't get the SocialText-
based wiki to work right now, but I'm working on it.


I will contact either or both:

Hilton-University of Houston
4800 Calhoun Rd
Houston, TX
Phone: (713) 741-2447

and/or

The corporate offices of Hilton USA.

and ask them to quote for an expected 10 - 40+
renters for 2 to 3 nights on June /(20-22)/07.
Then maybe a few rooms for training classes after the
conference on June /(28-29)/07.

Also will express interest in the conference rooms and
get a quote for those.  I guess the Hackathon would
take place 5-7 months later and would involve maybe
50-70 people.  Probably up to half of those people
staying at Hilton - maybe more.


I just looked hard for a website that gives facts on the
conference and all I found was:
http://www.yapc.org/America/
Perhaps we need to get our public site up and running,
if it is not already.
