[SA] Arisia Relaxacon '07, June 8-10

[Jack Dietz]

Come one, come all to the Arisia Relaxacon!

It's a con, except without that pesky scheduling stuff!  Have a  
chance to relax and socialize with the people you run or attend  
conventions with, and get more than a 2 minute waiting-for-the- 
elevator conversation with them!

There will be:
- a full Con Suite
- movies
  -- we'll try and get the Hugo Nominees
- games
  -- some board games, bring your own too!
- pool and hot tub (until midnight)
- chances to get outside
  -- woods surround the hotel
  -- tennis & racketball, basketball, fitness center and jogging on site
  -- the Blue Hills nearby for hikes, golf courses nearby
- chances to go elsewhere and stay inside
  -- restaurants, shopping, movie theaters

There will likely be:
- lots of conversation about science fiction, fantasy and other  
speculative media
- lots of conversation about convention-running
- lots of conversation about other fun stuff!

Hotel:
   Hilton Boston/Dedham
   25 Allied Drive
   Dedham, MA 02026-6147

   The hotel is off of I-95/MA-128 Exit 14.  Exit the highway, take  
the rotary to the Allied Drive exit, and the hotel's on the right.

   The hotel is also within walking distance of the Dedham Corporate  
Center station on the Franklin commuter rail line, and is a further  
walk from the 34 bus line.

Registration:
   We'll be collecting $15 for the weekend or $10 for Friday or  
Saturday.  Sunday alone will be free.  Children 5-21 are half-price;  
children 4 and under can attend for free.
   We'd really appreciate pre-registrations, so we have a clear idea  
of how many people to buy food and drink for.  We have a PayPal link  
at http://2008.arisia.org/RelaxaconReg (please be sure to fill in the  
"Name of Membership" field during checkout, especially if buying more  
than one membership).

Rooms:
   There are still rooms available at the $99 rate/night for the  
weekend.  You can reserve them at http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/ 
personalized/ddhdhhf_ari/index.jhtml .

If you have any questions, please contact one of us at  
arisia.relaxacon at gmail.com or directly.  Rick Kovalcik, Ben Levy,  
Conor Walsh and I can all answer questions and help set things up.

We hope to see you there, either for an evening or for the whole  
weekend!
