We sort of complained about choosing SA in August, and the convention sponsor pointed out that that's when they can get the best rates at the big convention hotels. We had over 1,000 people there, but most of them were teachers or college profs, and they usually have limited budgets. So they do SA in the summer and San Diego in the winter, which is backwards, but on purpose. We were at the Marriott Rivercenter, which is a very nice facility, at a lot less than it would have cost in the high season. Trade-offs. And since we had so little time to enjoy the city anyhow, didn't really make all that much difference.
