DragonCon Info (I did the maths for people...)

[blinded_genius]

Ok, guys. I know we were talking potential DragonCon, so I wanted to make sure that we understood what we were getting into.

SO....I looked into the Hotels situation. THEN I calculated all the costs (including sales tax for the hotel @ 8%) for Five of us to go. I also did the possibility if 6 of us went. Katie, I know you said you probably wouldn't

A quick response, because I still have a lot to do before bed (and everyone should thank Mark for doing all of this mess):

First of all, I don't know if I'll be comfortable leaving as early and staying as late, seeing as it will potentially require me to miss several classes; however, we can reserve rooms now and alter the dates later if necessary. I'd prefer leaving Thursday afternoon (assuming if I have a Thursday class, it'll be done by three), and coming back on Monday. This cuts one night's costs and potentially an extra lost vacation day (or half of one, depending) for those of you for whom it's applicable.

Second, if we do this, I'd prefer the Hilton b/c of the walkway, but I can live walking a few blocks if absolutely necessary.

Aside from that, my brains kind of empty/preoccupied. But if you guys want to go and have opinions, please get them to us ASAP.

I vote the Hilton because even though it's more expensive, I'd rather be in a room with everyone (a quad) for the whole time and I'd rather walk in a covered walkway to and from the con rather than on the street of a city I'm not familiar with.
