I know the higher room prices for the CodeMash weekend (Friday and
Saturday) have given folks a bit of grief. The higher room rates are
simple supply and demand: that's the Martin Luther King holiday
weekend, and there's a high demand for rooms that weekend.

That said, I'd like to announce a bit of great news! We've worked with
the folks at the Kalahari to get a break for room rates on Friday and
Saturday nights for CodeMash 2011.

Early bird reservations made before 10/31/2010 will receive the Tues -
Thurs rate for Friday night only.  The Saturday night rate would
increase by $30.  Prices will look like this:

EARLY BIRD (reserve by 10/31/2010)
Tuesday 1/11/2011 -  Friday 1/14/2011
 * Hut (standard room)      : $88
 * African Queen suite      : $162
 * Combo suite                : $162
 * Village suite                 : $262

Saturday 1/15/2011
   -Standard Guest Rooms:  $118
   -African Queen Suites:     $192
   -Combination Suites:        $192
   -Village Suites:                $292

If reservations are made after 10/31/2010, the Friday and Saturday
night rates would increase by $30 as follows:
NON-EARLY BIRD (after 10/31/2010)
Tuesday 1/11/2011 -  Thursday 1/13/2011
 * Hut (standard room)      : $88
 * African Queen suite      : $162
 * Combo suite                : $162
 * Village suite                 : $262

Friday 1/14/2010 - Saturday 1/15/2011
   -Standard Guest Rooms:  $118
   -African Queen Suites:     $192
   -Combination Suites:        $192
   -Village Suites:                $292

Hopefully this makes folks a bit more interested in staying over the
weekend after CodeMash and enjoying the Kalahari!
