HK was a tricky character to catch indeed, she's got some spidey sense thing with cameras, quite impressive. Though I must risk the ninja's wrath by agreeing that she is pretty awesome, that was the impression I got at least.

Faces of Death, Volume 8:

Scene 1 - foolish Browncoat1 attempts to put a bell around ferocious wild Kitten's neck. witness the horror as he is forced to watch his still-beating heart unceremoniously removed from his chest.

Scene 2 - another fan attempts to secure video footage of the Kitten mauling someone (see Scene 1). WARNING: this scene contains a person being forced to eat a camcorder and their subsequent disembowelment.

I'd rent it.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Well, my flight isn't booked yet, and nor is my hotel, but I plan to fix that soon.
There might be a boy there, so I don't know if anyone will want to deal with rooming with us

However, if you aren't going to mind an occasional, um, lockout, or if things fall through and he can't make it, I'm happy to be splitting the costs. My dad is awesome and will help me pay for the whole thing, but still.

I'll be aiming for the Hyatt.

Seriously though folks book as soon as possible. You only need a credit card number they won't charge the card ...oh and if you can't get it, ask to be put on the wait list in case someone cancels their reservation... just thought you should know that as they will not volunteer that information when you go to make the reservation

OK - got the last week of August off, so right now I'm back in.

Haven't made travel/hotel arrangements as of yet. There might be a few other NEBCs coming, but as a contingency plan, anybody seeking after a roomie? One who likes to write and read very quietly when he's on free time, and "sleeps like he's dead" (according to a one-time hotel roomie)?

Interesting indeed, especially when it comes to guests since D*C doesn't, to my understanding, pay for guests rooms. My wife is a guest of the Con and she was told over the weekend that they have no room for us on Thursday, Aug 28th. We are trying to go through D*C channels to get that changed, but so far no luck.

According to the Hyatt, their rooms are nearly completely gone. The Marriott Marquis is saying all of their rooms are booked through the holiday weekend due to the big game and the early birds for D*C.

My worry is what about the guests who are not booked yet? What will they do for a room if all the hotels are booked up? The Hilton has some rooms left, but not many according to the manager.

Just got a call from the Hyatt manager. Seems that a D*C staffer called them and straightened out the reservation SNAFU. They were able to get our suite for us on Wednesday and Thursday nights as well.

this is college football, dear, not sure what the commish of the national league could do... XD

another thing to note is the fact that there's always a "big game" that weekend. at least, there has been for the past several years that i've been attending D*C.

but who knows. maybe i'm completely wrong and will end up staying home because i didn't plan well enough ahead. ^__^

Well, I just booked the 29th through the 1st at the Hyatt and had no problems whatsoever. Possibly because I asked for a double room, I'm not sure, but they didn't mention any problems with overbooking. Maybe they're really booked on the 28th? But that doesn't make sense if it's about the game on the 30th.
Well anyway

Actually, just found out that flights from England land fairly late in the day, so I bumped my reservation up to the 28th, and there was no issue at all, so I don't see why they'd have you waitlisted. If they keep being stupid, though, I'll ask Dano about you camping with us for that night

Oh, and what time is the wedding?

Well, the good news is i was able to extend the room for an extra night. Bad news is no more group rate at the Marriott. I even called the hotel itself and they wouldn't switch me to the group rate. Maybe if I argue and whine at registration they'll cave.

I checked the Hyatt website too. Also says sold out. So its looking pretty grim for folks who haven't made reservations yet.

Important people don't do field work.

Ya'll ain't lying about the scarcity of the Hell's Kitten. I saw her checking in, and that was it!

I tapped her on the shoulder, said Hi and continued on, her look of confusion completely lost on me. Three steps later, I slapped myself on the forehead..."She doesn't know what I look like!" Went back and showed her my badge.

So...I do know that she exists!

In worse news...I probably won't be making it to D*C this year. Money, and primarily a lot of frustration my keep me from going again this year. Unless there's a spectacular guest (hint, Jewel...hint). Then again, who knows. Adam Hughes was my favorite part of last year, and he's not going this year...

We'll see.

ASSUME NOTHING!
I wouldn't take a chance on canceling anything until you have solid confirmation numbers given to you by a human being (and make sure you write their name down when you're talking to them on the phone so if any problems arrive you can say, "Sandy told me on the phone on January 16th...!)

I'm not saying you didn't get a free room, I'm just saying be careful-- you don't want to go there thinking you have 2 rooms and find out you have none. (I'm paranoid that way-- well, in more ways than that one, but that's another story)

best of luck. I hope it all straightens out.
