Mike and I are buying Gencon badges today with the masses :D Yes we ARE going this year. We're planning on getting a room (hopefully I have a charge card I can reserve one with, since I have no idea what kind of a hold they'll put on it) and probably splitting the cost with someone

Bringing Gabe? NO WAY! This is OUR vacation :D

I'm thinking about either the Embassy Suites, or the Marriot downtown.

Have you booked a room this way before? Will they actually charge my credit card tomorrow or not til I get there? I don't have the full amount available on my ONE credit card right now. My guess is that we'll be staying with a WoW guildie who was going to reserve the room but his wallet got stolen yesterday so no credit cards right now :(

They do not charge the full amount when you book. That's for when you check in. Embassy is very nice, and also around the corner from the Hilton. Marriot is closer, though it also fills up faster. Either way, plan to be online and booking the INSTANT the housing option opens up tomorrow. The close ones are gone within an hour. No joke.

yeah that's what we've heard. I actually took off work tomorrow so I can sit in front of the computer and book :D I think that makes me a new level of geek ;p

I..uh...did the same thing.*grin*

Oh good :D I've got the top three decided on so hopefully we'll all be able to hook up. I can't wait to see everyone (sad that we have to go to Indy to get together).

We're all booked at the Embassy Suites! Our guildie ended up booking them for us.

We're probably going to book the Amtrak train to take since it's only 109 bucks ROUND TRIP for both of us :D It drops us 3 blocks from the Convention center so no worries about driving at all when we're there.
