So I might have a target on my room.

I'm gonna keep details quiet, as I don't wanna jinx it, but I could have my own room come this Friday.

It's smoking, which I can deal with. That would allow me to bring my hookah.

Its in the overflow hotel, which I can deal with. I don't mind walking a block to the convention, and free continental breakfast will take a load off my wallet.

I would have to place a reservation down for a day I won't be there, which I can deal with. Even if I have to pay for that extra day, I still would be coming out ahead of booking at the normal rate. Even if I use my AAA benefits, I would be over $100 compared to the con-rate.

And I would be able to pay for it all up front, if possible, thanks to the way that my pay checks fall in relation to my bills.

I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed. It would nice being able to be in complete control of my convention situation.
