Oh, hey, look at that.

I, um, think I'm going to Dragon*Con. (It's the weekend before term starts, so it'll be a nice last bit of vacation before the insanity of term starts again.)

A couple of friends and I are looking into hotels (and really need to remember to buy a membership for it). The only con I've been to is Anime Boston, so I never had to worry about anything other than a membership, so I don't actually know how this game works. It'll be all kinds of Fun.

AB this year was about 15,000. (Unfortunately, whoever was in charge of registration logistics needed to be taken out behind the building and shot, because the at-the-door line was upwards of 8 hours long.)

aha. Then you're set. And pre-reg, because DC isn't that bad? But it's still less hassle.

I recommend the Baymont, since I'm sure the three con hotels are sold out on rooms. The Baymont is two blocks from the main action, but it's not a bad walk (it's downhill on the way home, which, at four in the morning, is the BEST THING EVER).

At least. I think it's a Baymont? Bleh. I don't remember right now. Sorry.

Ah, cool. I'll look into it. I walk pretty much everywhere these days, so a two block walk at 4am isn't exactly daunting. :) (I figured the three con hotels would be sold out.)

Thanks!

It's less a matter of distance and more a matter of it being downtown Atlanta, where there are not particularly savory people on the streets at four am. Even with freaky con people around.

*nod* Right. I suppose the correct answer is "don't go alone" and "please don't be stupid". (I've done downtown Boston and Cambridge after midnight, but I definitely see your point. There are some unsavory people around late at night and it's just stupid to not be careful.)
