Conviviality! Merry-making! Good fellowship!
Oh, who are we kidding? We know what a Consuite is really all about. Booze! Caffeine! Munchies! Find all of the above and more at the Cross-Time Consuite, located on the fifth floor of the hotel. But be aware that at this space-time locus, only those over 21 earth years of age may imbibe alcohol. The bartender on duty has the right to require I.D., or to refuse to serve those who have already achieved orbit.
See you there!
Once again, DemiCon's 24-hour Filk Room can be found upstairs on fifth floor, across the hall from the Consuite. And please, guys… try to keep the rousing choruses of the Quartermaster's Halls down to a mere six of seven hours.

In short, when considered with your lack of professional television experience, we believe that your series has the potential to be a smashing success! As per your suggestion, we will be sending some of our staff to personally review your latest effort on Friday, March 26th, at 7 p.m. during the DemiCon IV Opening ceremonies. I'm sorry that I will not be able to attend in person, as I understand that you will be lampooning some of my favorite science fictino movies and television shows.
