Here is the hotel information. I thought I'd give it to you in advance of the full website being up so you can start planning. I'm going to be working on the website info this week. I'm hoping it will be up and running by the end of April. Of course thanks to shipoftheline for doing our website again this year. Once the site is up, we will let you know.
Convention dates are Thursday Sept 18 to Sunday Sept 21 2014
In the meantime here is hotel info:
