Rooms are probably still available.  Last year a bunch of promoters
realized they could make money by buying discounted room blocks and
selling them to their friends/audience.

Last year, Liaison Artists had a massive room block with a couple

I'm sure if I asked around I could find out who's got room blocks this year.

You may want to consider bidding on a room on Priceline.

[313] DEMF Hotel Part 2

2001-11-03 Thread Fred Giannelli
The DEMF Hotel saga goes international.  Other artists who appeared @ DEMF
2001 and got charged back for their hotel rooms.

Ollie Barcovic : Forward Music : Canada

Seth Hodder : NovaMute : UK

and not confirmed yet but more than likely,

Daniel Miller : Mute : UK

Anyone know of anyone else who should be on this list ?
