Hi there Arisians!

I have been asked to attend Arisia 2008 as a Guest once more and I am deeply honored! Last year was SUCH fun!
There are a couple of things I would like to find out before I can commit...

Does anyone have space in their room or would like to bunk in with me? I tend to stay up late and hog the bathroom a little, but overall I am a good and responsible roommate (no smoking, no partying- conventions are a professional gig for me these days so I treat them like a business trip) and I can provide references! ^_^ This hotel is gorgeous, but I sold too few books last year and ended up paying far too much for my own room because of it. And this year I will have ZERO books to sell and need to maintain as tight a budget as possible.
Would anyone be willing to help me get to and from the airport? It seemed pretty painless last time and I try to secure decent flight times for myself...neither butt-early nor stupidly late. I will mostly likely be flying in on JetBlue from Nashville via NYC.

Let me know as soon as you can! Money has been tight this year due to my publisher going under and never paying me. To top that off they remaindered my books so I don't know how many I will be able to get for the con, but I want to be able to stay current in the con scene.

I have a lot I can speak on in the costuming vein and I will have completed my contribution to a second costume history textbook series and would love to speak on that. I am also going to be featured in an e-anthology from Circle Dark Publishing, so I feel that I have some relevant things to bring to the con by way of my current professional endeavors.

Plus, people tend to think I am an entertaining gal to have around just in general, which I most sincerely appreciate!! So, who would like to help me help Arisia and make it out to the convention?

Thanks so very much in advance!!
