A dinner reservation will get you in in the door. Might be a good idea if you want to get a table and not just a place to stand. At around 7pm or so, they will be going around and making sure everyone has a wristband indicating that they have paid for a ticket for the evenings events.
There is only one room at the HRCLA. It is a much better set up than the HRC in Sand Diego from last March. You can see it all on the HRC LA's web page.
I think, I need to check with Bonnie, but I think we have some tickets to be able to sell if anyone would really like to have them before they get out there. If you think you need to get them beforehand, PM me and I will see what we can do.
See ya on the 17th,
