That's a real shame. Was hoping to buy you a beer or two.

the hotel booking code has just been posted over at the amiwest blog:

Hotel rates are final! After much internal negotiation, AmiWest 2017 hotel rates are now available for reservations. Please see the Reservations Page at this link for the link to the hotel website.

The rates are $95.00 US for a double room and $119.00 US for a suite. See the reservations page above for more information.

When reserving online, the reservation group code is AMI. Please enter this code in the group code box when reserving online.

If you have trouble with the group code, simply call the hotel front desk at 1-916-923-1100 and ask for Joseph. He is the front desk manager. He is familiar with our show and will make sure that you get the AmiWest rate.

i've already booked. i hope to see other amiga.org members at the show this year!

at the moment the show hotel is showing all rooms fully booked, and the amiwest room block is all reserved. the show organizers are working on getting this resolved, so if you haven't been able to book accommodations yet, stay tuned, i should have more news on this sometime tomorrow....

There are others near by if you have a car, the Elk Hills one is nice. Good staff hot coffee.

The guy operating under the "Phase 5" label these days used to work in customer support for P5 and bplan (and, apparently, somehow got his hands on technical specs and layouts during the P5 bankruptcy) - he was neither management nor was he a developer. Describing that as "P5 back in the game" might be giving him too much credit.

Plus, there's a ton of unanswered questions regarding the whole thing. Don't get your hopes up yet.

I usually agree with your posts but you of all people know that Phase 5 became insolvent and any assets/ owed monies are gone in that insolvency. So there is no "hope" for anyone. Back when people had a line on this stuff someone shoud have went to DE and got the boards.

btw Gerald and TK feel terrible about that whole situation....

ok, so the good news is that there are so many people coming to amiwest, that we broke the hotel. just kidding. it looks like saturday night is heavily booked at the show hotel, but the show organizers have made arrangements at the hampton inn next door for folks who haven't yet made their hotel arrangements.

if you still need rooms for amiwest 2017 and are unable to book at the show hotel, here's what to do:

• call the hampton inn next door. the number is +1 916 927-2222
  
• ask for shiva or rayna, ask for the amiwest rate
• if you have any problems contact brian at amiwest.net

the reservation page should be updated with this information shortly. in other news the amiga devcon is shaping up nicely, with presentations from steven solie of hyperion entertainment, hans de ruiter of A-EON technology, and jaime krueger of bitbybit software in plan. other developers are also planning on attending, such as mark ritter, author of workbench explorer. so if you're interested in the devcon, don't delay -- make your arrangements now!

Good news that it appears more people may be attending this year's show.

Amiga32 in Dusseldorf is also sold out too and has been for the past month or so. All I will say is i'm glad I already have my ticket for the event.

I so wanted to go to this.... alas... I will be at a work conference in Philly...  I would much rather be at AmiWest!!

Looks like increasing attendance at all the shows. This is a good sign!

Inquiring minds want to know.... who's on the "Amiga's Got Talent" AGT, Ami-West guest STAR list in 2017?

Looked on the official Ami-West website and pickins looked kinda slim.

Will there be any "Surprise Appearances"?

I may be back the friday before the show starts after all now. BUT I have no hotel and dont want to drive alone after being gone for two weeks and 16 hour days.

Anyone passing through the LA area here on the 101 N. want to let me tag along and save money if I pay half and crash on the couch?

Any pilots here?   Thinking of flying my Piper Cherokee to Amiwest.  Leave from St. Louis area and split fuel.  Probably 220 bucks each.  Cherokee cruises 125-135mph.
