Oh man, cartrip. If someone (anyone) can pick me up from Baltimore, I would not mind helping to contribute to the cost of the fuel. (Because, well, yeah.... that would definitely beat the price of airplane, train, or buses)

Also, if I will be making it, I'm definitely asking to share room. I promise I'm a well-behaving roommate. I won't cause riots, commit murder, or sexually harass any of you. I swear on the burning tower of poptarts.

At this point, I'm leaning toward attending. I'm pretty sure I'll have the money at least, I just don't know what's going to happen with moving in April. If it goes well, I'll be there.

Provided money is good for me, I will coming with Stormy.

....I may be able to get a discount for folks at certain hotels. I'm gonna spring it on my stepmom as a kind of very belated "It's my birthday and god knows how much you owe me" kind of deal.

There's...a bar. A carousel bar. The Carousel Bar. When have us vIRGins ever, ever been able to resist a nerdy reference joke like that? If there were more pictures, I'd be photoshopping Akio's legs into them.

Also putting this here so I don't forget PRALINE BACON http://www.elizabeths-restaurant.com/dinner_menu

The Calgary tower has a restaurant that rotates at the very top. However, that Carousel Bar is way classier. That menu Gio posted is also making me ravenous. Everything sounds DIVINE. I am gonna gain 15 lbs by the time the trip is over.

Is anyone else hunting for a cheap ticket? RoseCon is months away, but it's still fun looking. XD

Anthiena, any possible discount is always welcome. And it looks like I've got two people reserved for splitting my hotel and car, so there'll still be room for another in our room and two more in my car. It's been my experience that a lot of swankier hotels in good areas won't allow any more than that, but I also got away with it in the $70 Katsucon hotel room by not knowing any better and not telling the staff.  But I'm a very risk-averse person, and I would hate a hotel putting their foot down and someone finding out that they're stuck in a city they suddenly flat-out can't afford.

YES SOMEONE WANTS TO GO TO THE SOUTHERN FOOD MUSEUM WITH MEEEEE. I was soooo hoping I wasn't the only one. Gio, I will wheel your ass all over that museum. And I can't believe I totally forgot about the Praline Bacon after my sister and her significant other tried so hard to get their hands on some the last time we were there. We didn't.

Wow, I do want to go to the Carousel bar(Tennessee Williams was there? YUS). It probably is redonk expensive though because most revolving anything is. If the bar itself spun too, I think that would be waaaaay too disoriented for the drunk. I mean, the room is already spinning.

Once this is all over, I have a feeling we'll be photoshopping Utena characters all over this damn city. And now that I checked out the LASPCA website and casually browsed through it....there's a black lab named Chu Chu up for grabs. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP.

I'll probably be driving to RoseCon this year. Some random family member (or two) is likely to be with me, of course. Gotta start hotel searching! I, too, will probably be packing on ze pounds during this trip. Restaurants here I come!

Wait, didn't we decide on the 19th?  Do I misremember?

I made an executive decision for the weekend of the 19th. Sorry I use Thursday dates; I only do that because I will most likely be there the earliest--what with living two hours away and planning and all. But yes, that is also the weekend of the 21st. The 12th was the backup weekend in case something went horribly awry.

Hopefully I will talk to some people in hotel sales division this week. Last week I had a middle school math concepts test I had to study all week for and still might have only made a C(I wouldn't even give those problems to high schoolers goddamnit WTF). So we can hopefully get an answer about how much to rent a conference room and whether or not multiple credit cards would still count as a group.

To help avoid confusion about where RoseCon is being discussed, I'm closing this thread at Frau Eva's request.  The place to talk about RoseCon is the RoseCon '10 New Orleans thread!
