Stupid GenCon room booking

Stupid "system opens at Noon EST"

One mad dash home (Noon EST is 5pm here), I log into the system at 5.15 to find everything connected to the Con has already gone. But I got into the Canterbury, which I think blackhatmatt stayed at last time.

Victory!

And, because I don't have to go three miles from the con to the hotel like last year, Drink!

If you have another hotel you'd prefer, get on the wait list. We had really good luck with this last year.

Heya! We met at the Bucca Di Beppo's giant dinner of fun last year.

I told BlackHat this, so I'll tell you too. Last year we were screwed as far as hotels go.. so we booked one ourselves outside the hotel block, and stuck ourselves on the waiting list. It came through, we got a massively cheaper (by hundreds) hotel room at the Hyatt.

Actually, now I consult a map... It IS connected to the Con! The hotel's website says it's on the skywalk network leading into the con centre.

So I think I'll stick with this while I'm ahead.

Happy Birthday! Well, tomorrow.
