Just got a room at the block rate at the Hyatt McCormick Place

This will be probably be the briefest diary on record, so I'd appeciate some slack since I am posting for the collective good.

I just got off the phone with the Hyatt McCormick Place and was able to book four nights at the convention rate tonight.  To be absolutely clear, I booked at the Hyatt McCormick Place, which is the hotel adjacent to the convention center and the hotel at which the original block was sold out as of May 31.  This is the second evening in a row that rooms have become available at the block rate, so keep trying if you are determined to get into this hotel.  (I have been calling every other day and as recently as this morning, there was no availability. I was finally successful tonight, so you just have to keep trying.)

Okay, I'm ready for the guff about this not being an appropriate diary, so bring it on.

And even if you don't have a comment, a rec would help so that those still hoping to book a room will have the chance to see this.

Hasta Chicago!
