New York City Comic Con Hotel information and Rules

[micaturtle]

Okay, I am working on stuff for New York City Comic Con, so...



I have reserved 1 room with 2 full size beds at the Holiday Inn Express. (address is: 343 West 39th Street; New York, NY 10013 ; It's only about 2 blocks from the convention center) I chose this place because of it's proximity, and it has free hot breakfast (which will save us a lot with the food prices in NYC), it has free wi-fi, and it was JUST built last year, so you know it's nice and new.
So far there are 6 people coming: Me, Jennifer, Jem, Robina, Jordan, & Jordan's friend, Claire(I think that's her name). That leaves 2 people sleeping on the floor. I, for one, think that the young'uns should sleep on the floor (Jordan & Claire) Does that sound okay to you guys? However, I'd just like to tell ya'll that the hotel rooms in NYC are *VERY* small. So if someone is sleeping on the floor, they will be expected to put away their bedding every morning so there is room to walk. Also, I think it only fair that the people who have to sleep on the floor don't have to pay as much as those who get to sleep in the bed. Finally, 2 of the 4 Bed spots are mine and Jennifer's, as Jennifer has a bad back, and I don't want anyone else sleeping with my honey.
Otherwise, we have the option of getting a 2nd hotel room, with a Queen bed, for 2 of the people. Let me know what you all think.
I am also assuming that Jem, Robina, Jordan, & Claire are coming on Thursday, October 7th and leaving Sunday, October 10th. If this is different, let me know and I will adjust the estimates.
Here is the price breakdown:

1 Room -
+ TOTAL for 3 nights @ $309 a night: $927
* Amount owed (each) for people sleeping in Beds(4) - $162.50
* Amount owed (each) for people sleeping on floor(2) - $138.50

2 Rooms -
+ TOTAL for 4 person room for 3 nights @ $309 a night: $927
* Amount owed (each) for people staying in 4 person room(4) - $231.75
+ TOTAL for 2 person room for 3 nights @ $269 a night: $807
* Amount owed (each) for people staying in 2 person room(2) - $403.50

Of course, all these prices are APPROXIMATE, because I wont know what the taxes and fees are until about 2 weeks before the convention. (silly website!) But I will get you the exact prices at that time. Until then, figure about an extra $30 each for taxes and such.

As you can see, it'd be much cheaper to do it with 1 room instead of 2. HOWEVER, since this will be reserved on my credit card, there will be a FEW rules:

1. No smoking in the room. (and yes, it IS a non-smoking room)
2. NO underage consumption of alcohol in the room! I don't know if you drink or not, Jordan, but since you are not 21 (and will not be by the time con rolls around) you will not be allowed to drink alcohol in the room (and I'd prefer that you didn't do it in my presence, as it triggers the Leo side of me and you are likely to get a lengthy lecture ;) The same applies to Claire if she is under 21.
3. NO CON LOVE IN THE ROOM! - There will be no sex in the room! I don't care if you find your soulmate at the convention, if I find out that you brought him/her back to the hotel room to make whoopie, you will be finding a different place to sleep for the rest of your stay (Of course, this rule is null and void if by some strange dimensional slip, we meet the REAL ninja turtles. In that case, I'm all for the orgy! ;D)
4. Curfew is midnight. If you are not in the room by midnight, PLEASE let someone know where you are and when you will back. Otherwise, I WILL be deadbolting the door and I will not let you in. (This rule doesn't apply, OBVIOUSLY, if all 6 of us are out together past midnight somewhere)

If you can't agree with these rules, PLEASE let me know and we'll make alternate arrangements. Sorry I have to be a hard ass about this, but I'd rather lay down the law BEFORE anyone has any issues. Sorry, I've had bad roommates before. I'm sure none of you will be annoying (at least I hope so)

NYAR! ;D I AM EXCITED FOR CON! XD

That all sounds good and fair to me! I also totally don't mind sleeping on the floor. Also, don't worry about anything related to alcohol or smoking. Claire and I are both good girls who won't drink until we're 21 and have no interests in cigarets! Oh, or guys at a Con. Bleh!

I'm ok with everything you wrote ... except for the orgy thing with certain Mutant Ninja Turtles if there is a dimensional situation. That's just ... uh, a little bit more than I want to know about our room mates. Especially if the underage ones are under 18. ;-)
(I'll be out in the hallway with my iPod and a book during the shenanigans. Heh.)

I'm very excited for NYC Con - The Big Apple is my home away from home. *Happy sigh* I miss the pizza, I miss Dunkin' Donuts, I miss the cheesy pretzels at Central Park, I miss the grime, the people, the energy in the city, the tall buildings all around ...

October can't get here soon enough.

Gah! I'm so jealous! Comic Con *drools* You're so lucky. I don't think I would ever be able to go to a convention as big as that one. Are any of the turtle VAs going to be there? If so please give them a hug for me! I can't believe it's time again for cons. There's a small itty bitty chance I might be going to one in June but it's looking iffy but I want to go so bad because Vic Mingnona is going to be there!

Sounds cool by me.

Do you have any more info on car parking? Robina said it cost to park at the hotel and I should probably try to find something outside? Do you know where, or should I try to Google it?

*is worried she'll pick the wrong place and her poor car will get mugged*

Sadly, we have NO vacation time for our first year at Disney. I will sadly be on the sidelines for this year's cons. ;_;
