I outsmart myself again.

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit!

It's the funniest thing ... turns out I made a hotel reservation WAAAY back on Sept. 5 for the Madison Concourse Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin! It seems back then I had some kind of crazy magical foreknowledge that I'd be going to WisCon or something. I'd forgotten all about the reservation. Thank God the hotel emailed me something, or I might have completely forgotten all about it and been stuck with a strange charge on my credit card for the first night.

Now, I could just cancel the hotel room ...

OR ...

I could check my frequent flier mile balance, see if registration is already full, try to prognosticate the state of my poor abused bank account a month into the future ...

You know, generally torture myself. THEN decide to cancel the hotel room.

Sigh. All the cool kids get to go to WisCon ...

Obviously going to Wiscon yourself is the preferred option, but if circumstances dictate otherwise, instead of cancelling the room, you might post to [info]wiscon to see if someone wants to take over your reservation. If you release it to the hotel, they might not give the con rate to folks on the waiting list.

One way to save money on flights is to fly to Chicago and then take the Van Galder bus from the airport (O'Hare or Midway) to Madison.
