HOPE conference in jeopardy?

Sad news. The HOPE conference is in danger of being discontinued after HOPE 7 in 2008 due to the venue being torn down.
The New York City hotel that inspired the song "Pennsylvania 6-5000" will be torn down for a 2.5 million-square-foot office tower.

"I don't think anyone who has stayed there recently has been overly in love with the place... Whatever tears are going to be shed, they're too late."

That's true enough - the Hotel itself is in pretty sorry shape. I hope (pun not intended) that a new venue can be found to replace it...
