There might be a boy there, so I don't know if anyone will want to deal with rooming with us



I fully intend to make it. Money shouldn't be an issue, so once my boss has confirmed I can get the time off from work, yayness should ensue.

HUGS Rose.... obviously there will be a boy.

Seriously though folks book as soon as possible. You only need a credit card number they won't charge the card ...oh and if you can't get it, ask to be put on the wait list in case someone cancels their reservation... just thought you should know that as they will not volunteer that information when you go to make the reservation

OK - got the last week of August off, so right now I'm back in. Haven't made travel/hotel arrangements as of yet. There might be a few other NEBCs coming, but as a contingency plan, anybody seeking after a roomie? One who likes to write and read very quietly when he's on free time, and "sleeps like he's dead" (according to a one-time hotel roomie)?

I have a feeling D*C is going to be interesting this year.."





Interesting indeed, especially when it comes to guests since D*C doesn't, to my understanding, pay for guests rooms. My wife is a guest of the Con and she was told over the weekend that they have no room for us on Thursday, Aug 28th. We are trying to go through D*C channels to get that changed, but so far no luck.

According to the Hyatt, their rooms are nearly completely gone. The Marriott Marquis is saying all of their rooms are booked through the holiday weekend due to the big game and the early birds for D*C.

My worry is what about the guests who are not booked yet? What will they do for a room if all the hotels are booked up? The Hilton has some rooms left, but not many according to the manager.

Just got a call from the Hyatt manager. Seems that a D*C staffer called them and straightened out the reservation SNAFU. They were able to get our suite for us on Wednesday and Thursday nights as well.

((snikkers))
this is college football, dear, not sure what the commish of the national league could do... XD

another thing to note is the fact that there's always a "big game" that weekend. at least, there has been for the past several years that i've been attending D*C.

but who knows. maybe i'm completely wrong and will end up staying home because i didn't plan well enough ahead. ^__^

oh... ooops um I meant the college commissioner... yeah that's it...giggle

Well they can always add another hotel as there are several down there... or we can just forcibly evict the football people ( which would be more fun.. " so what happened to you Earl?" " Some weird guys in brown coats with airsoft rifles threw me out of my room"


Oh oh you must be there HK... I know we can find a place for you. You're tiny and take up very little space.. we must have you there though. It just wouldn't be the same at all

Yes, you definitely have to be there Kitten. It would not be Dragon Con without you in attendance.

Well, I just booked the 29th through the 1st at the Hyatt and had no problems whatsoever. Possibly because I asked for a double room, I'm not sure, but they didn't mention any problems with overbooking. Maybe they're really booked on the 28th? But that doesn't make sense if it's about the game on the 30th.
Well anyway


I don't think that being cautiously ashamed, or selectively ashamed, or in any way ashamed of who I am is any way to live my life.
