[ST] Jumpcon Boston collapses, but we will go on

[SciFiFanBoston at aol.com]

Anyone (eh-hem, Skip) who has some insider knowledge about how contracts  
with hotels works I need a bit of advice.  It seems that we cannot get room  at 
the Sheraton because a "Certain Party" hasn't canceled from it's space  yet.  
This is the same "Certain Party" who never told any actors that they  weren't 
coming, just didn't send them tickets for flights.  
 
If he's holding the space for a legal reason what could that be?  If  he's 
holding it to say he didn't really cancel the convention is that the  possiblity?

Readercon is  this weekend.  I wonder if they would be willing to
accept these  orphaned fans? (If they provide proof of Jumpcon
membership, Readcon gives  them a free badge?)
