jon_chaissonRight. Where was I?
Oh yes. Upon a closer look at the hotel specs where I'll be staying during Worldcon, I realized that though the con starts at noon on Thursday, the hotel doesn't start check-ins until 4pm. THOSE RIGHT BASTARDS! Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do. A few plans:
A) Call the hotel and see if I can store my stuff somewhere until 4pm and make a mad dash in between panels to check in. (most likely)
B) Keep my stuff in the car, figure out a slow time to jump on the T (after checking in, of course) up to Alewife (where I'll be parking) then lug my stuff in. (a possibility but a big pain in the butt)
C) Find![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lynxreign, see if his hotel has an earlier check in, dump my stuff off with him and pick it up later (doable but a big pain in Lynxie's butt)
D) Park in a nearby lot until 4pm, check in, drive up to Alewife, then take the T back (doable but a big waste of time)
...so yeah, you can see that I really don't want to miss any potentially neato panels, and this hotel thing has really put a damper on that. I know, I know, I should just chill and not let it worry me. Sure, I could park at the hotel lot, but when it costs thirty-seven frikkin' dollars. A night. I don't think so...so the choice is either Alewife (up in Cambridge--4.50 a night!) or Riverside (out in Newton--not sure of price).
BTW, Lynxie/Emmalyon, where y'all gonna be staying? I'll be at the Marriott Copley (the one on Huntington Ave, the one with the Champions bar). Maybe we could get together and trash a few random hotel rooms for old times sake.
More later...
