Entry tags:

The Hyatt is sold out.

Two days after posting to the main Arisia site and this livejournal community (in response to a posted question, not as an announcement post as promised, significantly lacking the "hotel" tag). I just got confirmation from innkeeper@arisia.

I am displeased. This may be the first Arisia I miss since I moved to this area.

I tried the overflow hotel once, and determined that it was not worth doing.

also unreliable or just plain unavailable for various reasons were the food trucks. that was kind of disappointing. fortunately, the pizza delivery was $5 for a large.

Being next door to Trader Joes means lots of tasty treats for cheap.

if you're using the overflow hotel, sure; i wasn't certainly going to walk to and from the hotel for snacks - though the shuttle might make that a win this time.

are there any actual functions in the overflow? or is it just for placing one's hat.

last year, i brought a selection of my own tasty treats, which worked out well for late night; otherwise, i ordered in twice. was a cheap method to feed.

prior year i used the hotel food services more so, and while good, i'd rather spent my $$$ elsewhere (and did).

There are no functions planned for the overflow hotel; it is strictly for individual room space.

Sorry I meant if you're staying in the overflow, there is at least walkable cheap eats. Delivery pizza is also truly a wonderful thing. I'm also a fan of in room delivery Chinese food fests. Less cheap than pizza, but more delicious dumplings.
