Well I *was* going to get a hotel room for the Emerald City Comic Con, but the cut-off date for getting the special ECCC Discount was January 7th. BUMMER! This means reconfiguring the entire plan!

Also, this is the year that Brittany is going to be going with us. 12 years old, avid fan of Johnen Vasquez (Invader Zim, Johnny The Homicidal Maniac, Squee), and also one of the top 3 contenders for the title of "Most Impatient Person I know". Waiting in line for a few hours in the cold with her will be FUN!

So I need to talk with her and her parents (probably this weekend) to arrange the particulars. Does she want to do both days, or just one day, or just part of a day, or what? I'm sure she'll *say* she wants to do both days, but get extremely bored about two hours in to the first day (if that long).

She's 11. She can go for one day.

There you go!

Are you sure? I thought she was 12. And which day?

Believe me, I'm sure. She'll be 12 in March.

What weekend is the con? I'm sure Saturday or Sunday is fine. I'm assuming you guys want her to sleep over so you can get an early start?

11? Well, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. You have your opinion, I have mine.

First weekend in February (5th and 6th). Two possible scenarios:

(a) Crystal picks her up Friday night after work, she spends the night and we go for the first day.

(b) We pick her up on Saturday night on our way home from the convention, have her spend the night and we go on day 2.

Which one works best for you?

How much was the discount? Er - rather, how much is it without the discount?

Uhm... the one one the ECCC website? Let me check...

Spring Hill Suites Marriott. Is that good? Is it close? I can't even picture it.

This on is aparently at 1800 Yale. But if I really *pry*, I can probably find out what hotel the actual pros are staying at and maybe try to get a room there. Then it's a simple matter of knocking on every dor in the hotel till I find the right one, and BAM! I'm officially stalking Gail Simone!
