HOTEL LUCKY-DRAW INCENTIVE AND RESERVATIONS

All hotel reservations made at the Hilton Lafayette before May 1st, 2006 will be
entered into our hotel lucky-draw. One reservation, chosen at random during our
Opening Ceremonies, will have their hotel accommodations for the convention
weekend paid by Sennin Productions, LLC and MechaCon (room and tax only,
incidentals do not apply). Only reservations made within the MechaCon hotel
block are eligible.

For those who plan to get a room at the Hilton Lafayette, please make your
reservation through our Accommodations page so we can be credited for your
rooms.

The direct link to the online reservations desk for the MechaCon block is
http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/private_groups/lftlhhf_mec/index.jhtml

I cannot stress enough how extremely vital making your reservations through the
online portal is to the future of MechaCon.

Also, if you reserve your room by phone, be sure to ask to be put in the
"MechaCon Room Block", otherwise, we won't get credit for your reservation. If
you've already reserved a room, call the Hilton to double-check that your
reservation is in the MechaCon Room Block. If not, please ask to have it moved
there. If they say they can't move it (which they should be able to), just tell
them you want to cancel your current reservation and re-do your reservation in
the MechaCon block. There is absolutely no cost to do this!

We need your reservation in the MechaCon Room Block, so please make it through
there. For every room night booked at the Hilton in the MechaCon block, the con
gets a few dollars knocked off the rental space... dollars that will go toward
the budget for **MechaCon 3.0**!
