Depends on your definition of "full". The Hilton, for instance, is
listed on
the GenCon site as having 53 rooms available. Mind you, they are all
singles
and I don't know how many are TRULY available.

The Park East also has singles and the Wyndham (is that the fairly
expensive
one?) still has doubles. The Park East was reasonable. It has a shuttle
to the
hotel, and was an 18 minute walk for me in '96. For that matter, if you
have a
car pretty much any hotel is okay since there's a parking garage nearby.
(What
was it, US$3 for parking per day? Or as high as US$5? Some parking lots
in
Toronto are at about US$15 a day... ).

No problem! If your wife is bored, she can catch up with my wife... uh,
if she
can find her! *S* Leann will be working the Chaosium booth (the Wizard's
Attic, actually, is who she's working for) during the day and
roleplaying
mostly Cthulhu and Vampire games during the evening. Maybe your wife
will end
up going over to the Dark Side... *S*
