I am not going this year, not because I couldn’t get a hotel, but because I can’t decide if I am more afraid of seeing people walking around dressed as Silk Spectre or Doctor Manhattan.
OK, I am just too busy to go this year, and heck, if you really need to do the meeting things, we have modern conveniences like computers and conference calls.

It is getting more expensive, though. (I book through hotels.com) My usual pied-a-terre, which is 12 miles out from the Convention Center (and is a nice little place), was considerably more expensive when I booked this year (admittedly, I did it in March rather than the usual February). I ended up getting a room near Sea World – which is actually only 7 miles away. Yet another year of getting up really early so I can get into the Convention Center parking before it fills up. Ah well.
I had a devil of a time getting a hotel last year. I just can’t afford the TIME. It’s like three weeks out of the schedule, and I almost always get convention crud. Can’t risk it.
I was in England when the hotels opened up. Fortunately I had the girl who was catsitting for me book the hotel. We got the one we usually go to, nowhere near the convention site but right at one of the most popular bus stops/gathering places, but not without two hours of fighting the website. She is my hero
And I just got my pro badge taken care of this morning (thank god for that; 4 day passes are already sold out!) so I’m all set. For once
It was a miracle but I got a hotel only 8 blocks away…but you will be missed!!! Last year, there were some hotties (Rocket Boy…Red Arrow, etc) who could pull off a hot Dr. Manhattan…If I see any, will be sure to take some pics ….
I wait with bated breath!
