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...

Just look for the gal with Stefan, I'll be the chick with the shoulder length *black* hair. Maybe I can scare up some kitty ears to complete the look.
Re: Old Langue Sign
Date: 2004-08-26 12:15 pm (UTC)I've been trying to find a better picture, one that doesn't show my honker so prominently (heh, fat chance), but to no avail. Perhaps I'll just use one of those passport picture booths and make goofy faces. Yeah, that'll do.
And for the record, my work ID badge has me looking at the camera in a "I've got better things to do" sort of way...
My hair will match my car! Sweet!

I actually have 2, one for this office and one for the building in Phoenix--THAT one should be burned. I look like a space mutant.
