Doesn't make me wonder.  Hotels usually raise rates around holidays and
special events (state fairs, etc.).  In fact, a local one here raised rates
right around the state fair.

So that they'd -raise- rates for a conference...it wouldn't surprise me if
the conference rate was actually higher than the regular rate.  I'm not
saying it is, I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me.

I'm waiting till after I turn 40 to get my procrastinate checked, thanks.
