Just bought my ticket (Is it odd that I'm most excited to meet Jim Shooter?) I'm just going up for Saturday, but might crash in the city that night. Let me know of any hotel deals you found out about, Rhino. Thanks.

I may have to bow out. I just checked bus tix prices, almost 2ce what I expected. As much as I'd love to go, it's a lot of dough for an extended day trip (I'd be riding the bus overnights there and back. More than half my San D airfare - and I don't have thr budget now that I did over the summer).
ADDED: Actually, flights are only a few bucks more... hmmm...
Hopefully you can make it Sean!
I'm actually trying to get my Dad to come with me on one of the days now. He hasn't been to a comic con since the early-mid 80's.

I should have $ by then... but I may also have to go to the City the weekend before.
Other than using the airports, I haven't spent any time in the City in years (probably not since my first meeting with Darden and Jen, in '05) - so right now it seems like a bit much to do two weekends in a row, both in cost and losing two weekends of work-time.
I may also rent a car (if I go). If so, I might be able to find a friend to stay overnight with in the Poughkeepsie area.

Offer Abin ice cream and a kiss before bed time, he'll fold...

That's just what you want the feds to think. Nice paper trail to throw them off your real course...

So, for those going. Should we exchange cell phone numbers? Designate a meeting area? Make plans for dinner?
I'll be there all three days (although leaving early on Sunday)

So er, anyone buy their ticket yet? I haven't really bothered to check any of that stuff yet, but probably should. I know, I know, I'm the worst at this

I bought my ticket, Exnihil said he bought his ticket.
It takes all of 5 minutes to do on-line Cobie.

Off the subject sort of--Can anyone recommend a decent, safe, somewhat affordable hotel near Manhattan? Unfortunately, we would be going in June. Just wondering.
