Looks like Remmy's got it.  I'll be seeing him tomorrow, so I'll hook it up then.  You guys caught me at a lucky time.  Maybe I'll come around more often, but who knows.  If you guys really miss me, just have the powers that be bug me some.

Yep! You were spot-on. I was amazed at how close some of you came to the actual number.

Congrats, Remmy! :)

I know wikipedia is SOOOO not to be trusted, but I punched in the new numbers from 2007 and 2006 (Which was missing too, oddly). Cool stuff.

For those interested in such things, 2008's 6125 over 2007's 5200 is approximately 17.8% growth.  That's pretty awesome, though we've had higher.

For extra nerd value, I graphed it:

Did anyone else notice that the biggest jump happened when we moved from the Holiday Inn to the Mariott?

Yeah, we speculated on that on IRC earlier.  I think GimmeAnime's explanation made the most sense: Guest relations issues notwithstanding, sleeping space was a huge limiting factor.  The Holiday Inn (nothing's changed but the name) has 255 rooms and sleeps 732 people assuming two in every bed.  Compare that to 616 rooms and 1804 people using the same measurement at the Marriott (and yes, we do sell it out), plus better pricing, and the advantage is clear.

It's going to be an odd day when we have to find a bigger space.
The Marriott's been so cool to us.
