LowCoCon babble

It looks like we're going with the Holiday Inn. Not only is the ballroom rate NOT based on how many guest rooms we book (unlike most hotels), but they don't require a deposit to hold the space. Woot! There are tons of other reasons why we like HI, but those are the biggies.

Barry and I had a bit of miscommunication about the length of the con. I was thinking it was a standard 3 day, while he was thinking just Sat/Sun. I'm fighting for Friday because 1) I can't see dealers and staff showing up at 4am to be ready a 9am start, 2) It's really only $300-ish more, 3) We have the room block for Friday and Saturday, which isn't costing us more, so why not make an effort? I'll let ya'll know what happens.

We're going to try and get some local guests in, mostly writers since we can (hopefully) entice them with a book signing along with doing a panel. Selling stuff is good, right?

B and I are going down to the hotel on 6/20 for a small tour. I'm really hoping it's big enough. The price makes me worry a little bit. However, we have no idea how many people are going to attend. If we get low numbers...well at least we didn't overbook. Ugh.

Back to real life...
Things are normal. I'm still playing assloads of GTA. Omg crack! I'm also going out for sushi today for lunch. Yum! Loves me some sushi. Hopefully I won't go overboard...again. lol!

Upset

Why is it that two of the people who should trust me without question doubt my decision? This not only bothers me, but it hurt a lot. I'm not stupid, nor am I some 12-year-old picking up a stray off the street. Why should I always have to think of others before myself? Isn't it my right to be selfish at times?

I want to cry, but I'm too depressed to care.
