WTF Hotel
What's the deal with con hotels being sold out seven months out? That's just nuts.
Anyway, for those of you who don't know, the Further Confusion hotel is sold out and has been for a couple of weeks now. Not just the con block, mind you, but the entire friggin' hotel right down to the janitorial closets. There is an overflow hotel a few blocks away, which is a Holiday Inn, but those are always such an unknown quantity that I didn't want to mess with it.
So I found a Courtyard by Marriott, which is rapidly becoming my favorite option for hotellage, just about the same distance as the overflow hotel but straight up Technology Drive -- Starbucks is right between the two, in fact, and as how I pretty much always stop in there in the mornings at FC anyway, it doesn't really add anything to my morning pre-con walk.
It does make it harder to stash stuff in my room or stop back in the room for a quick nap, but usually at FC I don't do that as much anyway.
Maybe I should book my room for next AnthroCon now. ¬.¬

FC has filled the Doubletree for several years now. It's going to fill early.
Gen Con, Dragon*Con and Comic-Con are different. They're all bigger than any hotel can support. Comic-Con is getting so big San Diego can barely support it. the problem is they really don't have anywhere bigger to go to...
