WISHFUL THINKING? Countdown to GenCon 2021
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2020 11:00 am
All kidding aside, I just started this post to let folks know that IF you are planning on going next year (regardless of whether or not it actually happens) you are going to need to start thinking about rooms at this point. (yes, yes, I know. Not you Ken, you're immune from the chaos of hotel reservations).
And as a warning, I just logged into my usual method to get rooms and encountered a problem. Not insurmountable but irritating and possibly offputting. If like me, you want go come in a day early and leave a day late, the rates change so the system won't be able to handle that. You have to get one reservation for the con, then a different one for the extra day (or two). Stupid, I know, but if you search for all the days, it will tell you there's no availability (cause they jacked the prices during the con).
