hahaha OMG
The Comic-Con hotel reservations opened at 9 today. At 9:45, when I called Sara to warn her, they were almost completely full. San Diego tends to swell to bursting with nerds during the convention, and based on my experience last year (two nights at the coolest hotel evar, followed by two nights at The La Quinta Hell-Pit — at the same rate) I wanted to get my res in early. Obviously the thing to do would be to make reservations at the Motel 6 or hostel or whatever a year in advance, but I don't think that way, so I depend on the Comic-Con's low, low, negotiated rates with local hotels. Now, these rates are low. Low. Especially considering where some of them are; Nick and I will be staying at none other than The Westgate Hotel, a five-star luxury hotel walking distance from the convention center. We are there at a rate that, for a total of three nights, is less than ONE NIGHT there at the standard rate. I checked.
Hey man, we can't afford to eat there, but we can offend some rich old people with our scruffiness. Holy crap.
Edit: I remembered that Spike stayed at some hotel in Little Italy last year that she recommended highly, and on investigating found out two people can stay there for the princely sum of $75 a night. So we'll be staying there, instead. Yep.
