I'd like to go but there is no way I can shoulder the cost of a hotel room by myself.

It looks like Hotel Penn still has rooms. That place would be perfect since the Cons right there.

If I fiddle with 2-4 adults over the same four nights that Zero mentions then the charge is $250-$300 per night. Split four ways that becomes affordable.

The Hotel Penn is gonna be as cheap as just about anyplace in NYC that weekend unless you stay at a hostel or something like that. John and I were discussing this as I went to the National last November and unfortunatley for us it falls right at the beginning of the "Christmas in NY" shopping season. I think some of the guys stayed at the New Yorker last April which is just around the corner. Rooms at the Penn are really "hit or miss" as it is a very old hotel and whether your room has been renovated recently is an issue. In April I had a great room and last weekend I had a lousy one. We may be able to get a group rate somewhere, I don't know. Also, staying right outside the city and taking the train in is also an option for someone who wants to save money.

From what I can tell the show is shaping up to be pretty impressive for VALIANT fans. The artists that I talked to last weekend were looking forward to it, and since they all had a great time last year and the word got around there'll probably be a larger turnout on their part.

Also, any of you guys who don't know, John (svair) puts a huge amount of time and effort into organizing this show. I was extremely impressed as he sort of runs a VALIANTcon inside the Con. I am really looking forward to this show.

How much hair do you have?

Wait... sometimes the only thing worse than the answer is a question.
