Less than two weeks, baby!!!
Aug. 23rd, 2004 06:08 pmRight. 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...

One more thing!
Aug. 23rd, 2004 06:28 pmJust heard that Showcase Comics in Hampshire Mall is closing!! WAAAHHH!!!! :( Actually, they're not so much closing as consolidating with their Springfield store where they apparently get more customers. GAH! No more zipping down 116 after work to pick up my weekly geekfest of comic greatness. Well, I could actually go to the new shop down the road that Grover and the ex-Showcasers opened a few months ago (hey cell23, I know you're down the road...do you go there? If so, has it improved since opening?)...or go to the comic store in Greenfield that my dad told me about. *sigh* This sucks.
