I'd assume those people *do* need crash space.  I think the total is
then seven each night:

Jesse Keating
Christopher Aillon
Jon Stanley (Thursday only)
Toshio Kuratomi
Sebastian Dziallas (Tuesday only?)
Howard Johnson
Stephen Smoogen
Adam Miller

I don't see anyone noted on the main pre-registration table with
"needs crash space" or the like.

You live life on the edge! ;-) It's really up to you, since AFAIK
we're not paying your airfare, but those costs do fluctuate wildly as
we get closer.  Sometimes it works in your favor if you find a deal,
though... are you the gambling type?
