1. The miles are in driving-distance miles, not crow-flies miles.
2. The whole local district is packed solid with hotels. Here is about where they're at. (534 Pacific Ave has no special meaning, it's just a spot in the area)
3. It's pretty close to the Castro, the world's most famous spot for cruising homosexuals. I can't imagine whatever reason they would want to be there. Nope, not at all.
If anyone is looking for a cheap and quite charming hotel to stay at, I recommend the Hotel Mirabelle. Depending on the room, it's normally about 3 to 4 hundred dollars a week. Neato decor, small but comfortable rooms and beds. Communal WC and shower, but totally nice and clean, and I totally dig it. It's not a residential hotel in the sense of a crackhead place. It's more like one of those old-school ones you'd see in London.
My friend lives there, and the place is totally awesome. Yelp it if you doubt me. Every review is either four or five stars.
Hell, you might even see me there on sunday, doing The Office marathon with my friends in the shanghai room.
The neighborhood could use improvement. Kinda skid row-ish. I used to live a block away, but as far as Im concerned, its allright. Lower mission district. 15th and Mission.
Also, how the hell did you get that location? BTW, that's north beach/chinatown. Nowhere near the castro.
I guess that once people register they will be given directions on where the hell it is?
never mind. I can find out.
The convention says it will be about 1000 people attending. It also mentions hotel accommodations, so it sounds like this is going to be held at a convention hotel instead of a convention center (like moscone or brannan).
Here's a list of venues. I havent poured over it yet, but several are located in the pacific ave area.

Or.. am I clueless and they actually put the location somewhere?
