Why procrastination sucks

Now both Anthrocon hotels are booked full and I still hadn't gotten a room; I have one offer of a room from [livejournal.com profile] jadedfox, with what appears to be 1d4 other people staying there--a fudge factor which makes me vaguely antsy. I gave up the "how many people can we fit into one hotel room" style of con-going a decade ago and the couple of times I've tried to stay in a hotel room with more than 1 or 2 other people, I'm reminded why.

I've hurriedly made a reservation at the Hampton Inn, a few blocks away, for a lot of money. (Just potential money at this point, of course, since it's only a reservation.) I'm starting to wonder if I should just save my money this year, though.

Bonus irony points: this is the one year I actually remembered to buy a membership for the con in advance.

One year I had registered to Anthrocon in advance and ended up not going. I emailed them about it and they told me I could use my reservation for the following year instead.

They can refund you up until the point Pre-Reg closes, and transfer your membership to next year up until the point the convention opens. Efter that, nothing they can do.

Right now it's 4 people total in the room, with ME on the floor. It's a King Sized bed, so we'll be asking for a rollaway at least.

I'm trying to upgrade at the hotel to a double. Talk with me, and I'll chat with John about it.

I'm cool with it, as one of the four. :-)

I'd offer you a spot, but I've got three plus D2 plus D2-1 already. :P

I hope you can make it, would be yet another cool person to meet.

Just remember, if you get really drunk, you won't care where you sleep. :)
