Found out today that the
Context SF Convention (
contextsf) has a new hotel:
The Midwest Hotel & Conference Center. We've got a block reserved for the same weekend as before (Oct. 6-8, 2006) and rooms for convention attendees will cost $79/night.
This hotel used to be a Ramada, and it hosted the convention a couple of years ago.
It should be a good convention for fans and writers both:

I'm also going to be working with the programming director (
flaggerx) to see that we've got a better publisher presence this year.
