melcharWell, had fun at Baycon [because I enjoy being a barnacle and watching the convention wash through the fanzine lounge]. However, I would have -far- preferred going to Baycon without suffering from weird dizzy spells. [grins] The dizziness certainly helped me want to stay in one place, though.
Also played lots of [sid meyer's] Alpha Centauri during the weekend, when the lounge was quiet. It's still a great game.
Now if only the hotel food at the Marriott had been half that good. [shudders] The only decent meal I had there was from room service, Sunday [an omlet] - and that was quite good, with faster service than I experienced being in their restaurant. Yeesh! ...had I only known this on Friday. ^_^
But all in all, even with the move to San Mateo, Baycon was worth suffering dizzy spells for, this year.

Date: 2007-05-30 08:27 pm (UTC)Oddly tho, none were about the servers. THEY were sweet and concerned [except for the one waiter who tried to convince me that a 2-toned [pink and brown] hot dog was supposed to look like that and safe to eat. [Ha!]
But the food was awful. Wilted and brown lettuce, hot food served barely warm, exceedingly slow service. But I will say the omlet I ordered from room service that last day was great, exactly as ordered - hot - and served -fast- [gave them a 25% tip, even on top of horrid high cost - just for the fast factor.
But too bad you found out about 'us' too late. [I hear that Westercon will be there the weekend before July 4, if you're interested.]
