It has a special code for the event, but no special rate, oddly.
Currently, online gives you $139 but they told me $119 over the phone.

They cover Friday-Sunday. However, they are willing to extend the rate
until Monday if they can. Well, Tanya did. $124. Note they have
*wired* Internet— oooo! It's also a wee bit closer for what it's
worth.

Yeah, I think that would be a good idea. I tend to take the train if
I'm headed North or South. Unfortunately, the train departs right as
LFNW ends, which doesn't offer a lot of time to get one's affairs in
order. Thus, I need to wait until Monday. I think it might be wise to
base the event around plane, train, and bus schedules.

…or offer a party bus option ☺
