I just called Shoney's Inn (the one "across the street" from Opryland
Hotel).  They are all booked for that week.

I don't know if the people planning USENIX were aware of the
"International Country Music Fan Fair" being held at the same time,
when they decided on Nashville as the location, though they do mention
it in the registration packet (which I just received).  Seems to me a
better time/place could have been picked.  Also, did hotels rates
recently increase dramatically, or is it just the Nashville hotels
that are so expensive?
