It's with a post-con high are we excited to announce room bookings are now available.

You and your friends could stay at the official con hotel for as little as $105 a night!
To get started simply follow this link! http://goo.gl/qpiyZu
Please note the rates advertised are listed as 2 people per room. An option exists for most rooms to add extra people for a small additional fee per person per night, which may help bring your individual costs down even more! Linen (towels/pillows ect) and Door entry cards will only be issued in reflection to the number of people booked to the room. Please keep this in mind when making your booking.
A friendly reminder that pre-reg and our mailing list are online, head to http://www.furdu.com/ to secure your spot on the Jurassic Safari. Our full site will be live in the coming weeks bringing even bigger and exciting news!
