Chris:

Terrific work. Can I ask you to put this info in a "PyConAccommodation" page
in the Wiki? It's waiting for you at

     http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/PyConAccommodation

I hadn't realised we were conferring during Cherry Blossom week. That might
put pressure on hptel sapce, but it will give us a local event to tie in
with. Early bookings will probably be advisable.
