Okay I'm passing on going back to MFF this year to instead take advantage of the January lull at work and use up a full week of current year vacation at that time to check out FC. It will be my third time to visit the San Francisco/San Jose area but my first to do FC.

That said I am looking for a room so I can start reserving tickets and see how destroyed my budget will be at the start of the year. If anyone knows someone looking for another person for a room I would appreciate getting their contact info. If that doesn't work I am looking into the alternative of trying to get a room a couple blocks away at the Ramada or somewhere else, in which case there will be a spot or more open for someone to help offset the cost of the room.
