For those who haven't already heard, and might be interested - Minicon 40 (the Minicon in 2005) has a dilemma.

The Millennium Hotel (where we were last year, and will be this year) is not available Easter weekend of 2005. They have offered us the same deal we're getting this year for the weekend after Easter in 2005.

We probably can't get a downtown hotel for Easter weekend for the next five years - reasonably reliable (in my opinion) rumor has it that Eckankar has all the major downtown hotels booked for Easter weekend for five years.

So, we have a variety of possibilities:


  1. Take the Millennium for the post-Easter weekend 2005, and plan on finding something else for Easter weekend 2006

  2. Find something outside of downtown Minneapolis for Easter weekend 2005

  3. Take the Millennium for the post-Easter weekend 2005, and plan on not being on Easter weekend for an indefinite period of time.



So, questions for those that care to express an opinion - are you more or less likely to attend Minicon under any of these scenarios? How likely is that? Ignoring whether or not you're coming, which one would you choose, and why?

For what it's worth, it looks like there has been a Minicon every Easter weekend going back to 1969. Some of my colleagues in Minn-StF say that some other than numbers 1, 5, and 9 were not on Easter weekend, but haven't been able to tell me which ones yet.
