Hey Alex, I'm trying to reserve a room but it seems that the discount only covers Friday and Saturday.

Great seeing Project M as an official event this year. Do you think both single and doubles can happen? If so I will definitely be here.

There is a slight chance I may be able to make it out to the US for this. If not, ah well. If so, my body is ready.

Hey dudes and dudettes and furries, I'm here to announce that I (pidgezero_one) will be running official "Teammate finder" and "MM finder" threads this year in order to make it easy for you guys to find those things! I ran the MM finder thread last year and I think I did an okay job of keeping it up-to-date and readable. I'll be making it closer to the date.

I might also be making a "Who Has Space In Their Hotel Room?" thread to hopefully prevent as much last-minute scrambling as possible, if you guys would use something like that. Thoughts?

The "Who has space" is a good idea. Useful for those who are looking for housing/hoteling.

I will look into it.
