Who wants to share my hotel room for Genii Convention?

I've got a double queen (2 queen beds) reserved at Florida Hotel and Conference Center, Oct. 4-8 (4 nights) , total is $115/night plus 12.5% tax plus fees, which would all be split in half... Approx $70/night x 4 nights = $280 total... I'm clean, quiet, considerate, and hope you are, too!... JL
