Hilton GM just called and cancelled my reservation for tomorrow night since Jindal called a state of emergency and rooms are needed for emergency personnel. I completely understand and I can make things work out, but I know some out of town fans may be in trouble with this short of a notice. SIAP

This is like the army trying to requisition Dish's horse in Lonesome Dove.

I'm sure it has happened in the past. The big electric companies and clean up crews have contracts with the major hotels. If they call a state of the emergency, the hotel apparantly has to honor the agreements and kick out non essential people.

These places make plenty of money off of us. Some comping ought to be done just as a matter of good will.
