Cattitude and I need to decide soon whether we're going to Boskone. At this point we have memberships, a hotel reservation starting the Tuesday night before the convention, and tickets from Seattle to Boston on that Tuesday. (This was done with the idea of combining a con with some apartment-hunting or at least research, which is now moot since we have a signed lease.)
If we decide to go, we need to buy return tickets and confirm with the cat-sitter. If not, we cancel the hotel reservation, tell the cat-sitter we won't need her, and probably throw away the BOS-SEA tickets. But that's a sunk cost, it would just be polite to let Jet Blue know if we won't be flying that day.
In favor: the con would be fun; Cattitude (and secondarily I) could do some exploring in Boston, a city I know better than he does but neither of us knows well; and I'd get some time with Adrian.
Against: Staying home would be significantly cheaper, and it would be a week in a hotel instead of our own apartment. We would be without cats and kitchen, and if I have freelance work I'd be doing it without my nice big monitor and keyboard, just the laptop and mouse.
Anyone reading this who is planning to be at Boskone, please speak up. Ditto any fannish Boston-area friends who are sure you won't be, please. Also anyone else who has thoughts or suggestions on this.
