Hello everyone,

Just an observation but I suspect you are going to have participation
issues, especially at the Berlin venue. Astricon will be held at the
height of the World Cup which is being hosted in Germany no less during
higher (than normal) rates for the FIFA World Cup 2006. we had the same
problem here in Malaysia when we hosted the Commonwealth Games. what was
a US$40 hotel room became a US$100 hotel room for the duration of the
games, and that too if you were lucky enough to get the reservation.
most hotels were overbooked. bear in mind that the World Cup is a much,
much bigger event than the Commonwealth Games.
I think that will be the case, but not that big. The difference between
the games in Malaysia and the cup in Germany is, that the matches of the
cup are held in 12 different cities across Germany, so not everyone will
stay in Berlin. The AstriCon is not in the middle of the cup, but at the
end of the first round of games before the finals (which are the really
interesting part according to footbal fans). The only game in Berlin
during this time is Germany vs. Ecuador (boring, because we will win ;)
) and it was hard to get hold of tickets. So my guess is, that if you
book your hotel early it won't be a big problem.
Best regards from Germany,
Kai
