Readercon, anyone?

[eredien]

So, I'd like to go to Readercon again this year. I had a great time last year--the best time at a con I can remember having since my very first con--and last year I vowed that I would beat the horrible bus schedule times (if I want to be there for a panel at 9 am, I have to catch a 6:30 am bus or something of the sort) by doing the one thing that would have made last year better--renting a hotel room for Saturday evening.

Why?
- I live in the Boston area; it is silly to rent a hotel room for three days.
- The panels on Friday and Sunday end far enough in advance that I can catch a bus, but the Kirk Poland Memorial Bad Prose Competition is on Saturday evening. By the time it is done no buses are still running.

So: is anyone else going to Readercon this year? My housemates are probably either not going or won't know until that weekend. Does anyone else want to split room costs? Post here.

Hi,

I usually browse my Friends of Friends page when I'm at work -- I am a friend of midnite_phoenix from college who used to live in Cambridge but have since moved to Burlington to be closer to work. In fact, my apartment complex is a mile or two up the street from the Burlington Marriott. I am not sure about my plans as to stop by Readercon or not, but you and the other housemates that may be stranded on Saturday evening are welcome to crash in my apartment for the night. I can lend out a couch, an air mattress, and blankets if people don't mind sleeping on the carpet. Just let me know!

Oh, hi! I've met you once or twice before but honestly didn't know you lived around here. That would be *great.* How should I get in touch with you for the details--as lj isn't the best medium to work this over in?
