Oh, Yay, Los Angeles in August

The Fates want me at Worldcon. Alaska had been offering a really decent rate to fly in and out of Long Beach a coupla weeks ago -- just over $200. But then I waited too long to book it, and it went poof. So then I was going to have to pay more like $300. Shelling out an extra $100 just for being a teensy bit tardy, well, it made me cranky and I sulked for a while. Then I decided to put it off until payday, and just hope the rates didn't go up *again*. So it was with some trepidation that I got up this morning and pointed my browser to kayak.com and spun up a fare search. *Ping* SEA->LGB: $217. And so I fell on it with cries of glee and now I have me a ticket to Worldcon. And a membership. Total cost so far: $217. Now to waffle indecisively about whether to get a rental car.

We may have room for a third in our room at the Hilton. I've emailed my current room-mate to see if she's interested. If she is, would you be?

Yes, a three-way split on a room sounds like a fine idea. Do let me know if that works for your roommate.

I've heard back from her and she's fine with the idea. You can email me at d.lacey at gmail dot com for the details.

Wow, cool! Thanks for that, I'll drop you a line.
