Arataniello Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Bah, standard hotel rooms are sold out at the Westin. Does anyone else have recommendations for other similarly prices places to stay nearby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all swedes are racist Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 There's the Long Wharf Marriott... It's by the Legal Seafood, so not exactly pleasant walking distance in last years little blizzard, but at worst a fairly cheap, like 10 minute, cab ride away.

lady narcissa Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Does anyone else have recommendations for other similarly prices places to stay nearby?I cannot say they are similarly priced because I don't know what they cost. But there is a Renaissance just across the Turnpike that I think is the closest hotel to the Westin (about 4/5 blocks). There is the Seaport Boston Hotel about two blocks over from the Renaissance. And then there is a Residence Inn which looks about 8 blocks away from the Westin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I was just able to reserve a room for a friend, at convention rates. I got confirmation email and everything, no problem. As I wasn't able to do so last night, I suspect some more rooms were added or something? In any case, it's worth re-trying. http://www.nesfa.org/boskone/hotel.html%C2'> I also called the Westin about something to do with my own reservation, and while on the phone got confirmation that we're sharing the hotel with multiple conventions. So, if you even think you might attend, I would try to grab a room while you can. I think you can cancel right up to a day or two before without penalty, so it does not hurt to reserve one just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Bandito Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 There are currently rooms available. If anyone is interested I would split. I might only be there Saturday night. Seth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arataniello Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Thanks to a post on Facebook, I was able to get a standard room reserved for the nights I hope to be able to attend. Thanks Regina! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily Valley Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Is there some reason this had to be scheduled over Mardi Gras? Very inconsiderate. I will be with all y'all in spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of City of Bayonne Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Blame the sun and moon. The date is set based on the March Equinox and phase of the moon. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peadar Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Blame the sun and moon. The date is set based on the March Equinox and phase of the moon. :-) You're both wrong. It's clearly the boogie that it should be blamed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 You want to travel to Boston. In February? You are our kind of people! I'm pretty sure Stego will be around, but ping him on FB to make sure. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daenerys Stormborn Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'm debating about attending this year. Round trip is looking cheap (less than $200) or I could use my points, though I had hoped to save those for Sasq. My ulterior motive is I could help with the MAC2 table. The catch is I would need a roommate(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 What time do things start on Friday? I looked at last year's, and 5pm, so that means the train that gets there at 3something is fine. I am looking at things, thinking about it. I want to, have wanted to go for a long time (some of my most favorite people in the world are going to be there...and one sent me an invite on fb, and reminded me) The husband has a black-out period at work where they are not allowed to take off that now goes to the end of February (or so he tells me). they used to go to early Feb :dunno: He works weekends and that is just too much time to leave my son alone (nearly 14 hours each day as he works 12 hour days) I am beyond disappointed.

Arataniello Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have also been shafted by work declaring a "vacation black out period" until the end of February. Fuckers. No Boskone for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
