[Air-l] 10 MORE ROOMS at the RADISSON for IR 2.0

[Logie]

Hello all,

I made a call and got the Radisson Hotel Metrodome to open up 10 more 
rooms for conference presenters/attendees, but you can NOT get these 
rooms through the online registration system. These rooms are being 
made available through the local hotel's reservation desk only. All 
other avenues will likely report that the hotel is sold out.

So, if you want to stay in the Radisson from AT LEAST the evening of 
October 10 (Wednesday), departing on the 14th (Sunday) or later, 
please CALL 612-379-8888 and make a reservation specifying that it is 
for the Association of Internet Researchers Conference (in order to 
secure our discounted rate).

This is, effectively, "last call" for rooms at the Radisson. Those 
interested in alternative accommodation can use a service like 
http://www.travelocity.com which has an "Advanced Search" function 
for lodgings which allows visitors to input a particular address and 
identify options within a certain radius. The Radisson's address is:  
615 Washington Avenue SE Minneapolis Minnesota 55414, and it is 
nearly adjacent to the Gateway/MacNamara Alumni Center, where most of 
the conference sessions will be held, so I recommend using the 
hotel's address address as a "home base" for such searches.

You'll see that the pickings in the immediate vicinity are getting pretty slim.

To avoid disappointment, please book expeditiously. 

Best,
