Now that FWA is over and the folks who were there are starting to read LJ again, and now that jmaynard has decided to go to CostumeCon, it seems to be time for me to post about a hotel room. The past few cons I've split a room with
kinkyturtle
and I would do so again, but this time I can't. As KT is a Guest of Honor, his room is being taken care of and I'm certainly not going to try to horn in on that. [It turns out I misunderstood something and KT & I will be sharing a room after all. We are willing to spread/reduce costs a bit more. A "room" at RCFM is effectively two rooms so there's room for one or two more.]
As I won't be splitting a room with Jay or with KT, that means I either have a room, and its expense, to myself, or I can split the room and cost with someone (or more than one) else. That will reduce cost for all involved.
I have yet to reserve a room, but I do plan on doing so just as soon as the details of RCFM reservations have been worked out. I plan to reserve a non-smoking room with separate beds for Thursday through Monday nights. I expect to arrive around 3:00 PM, the earliest check-in time as I recall, and depart somewhat early Tuesday morning.
I'd prefer to have a check or money order either in advance or at the con, but not cash (as I might spend that). I'd prefer to room with folks I already know to avoid potentially problematic surprises, but I also realize that that might not necessarily happen. I'd make some inquiries to friends about anyone I don't know all that well. Therefore I'd suggest if you're wondering about my handling of this sort of thing to note that last year I split a room with kinkyturtle, and for part of the time,
jugularjaguar and
chakawolf so you can ask them about how it worked out.
Anyone interested? Have any questions?
