Scintillation

[redbird]

Question for other people who are going to Scintillation: how long are you planning to be in Montreal?

I'm thinking of arriving Thursday afternoon or evening, just so I don't fret about missing things on Friday (even though the many of the things are trips to places I've already seen), and staying over until either Monday morning or Tuesday morning.

Being there longer has the advantage of more social time, if other people also arrive early and/or stay late. The disadvantages are that it will probably cost more (although Airfares Are Weird) and might wear me out.

(I have addressed this to people who will be there, in terms of possibly coordinating schedules, but other relevant thoughts are also welcome.)

ETA: This having been asked in the comments, Scintillation will be a small science fiction convention in Montreal, in October. (For reasons to do with hotel space, Kickstarter, and the person who is organizing, there are no more memberships available.) I sometimes lose track of who has what context.

That is the best name for an event ever.

I have that on my list to figure out next week, but not shorter than Thursday through Monday, and quite possibly longer.

Oh good; I am looking forward to spending time with you.

What's Scintillation?

[redbird]

A small convention in Montreal that Jo Walton is running (which has no more memberships available). I shall edit the post to clarify.

Awesome! Have fun!

It's going to be very much a game-time decision, for me...

I will be there Thursday through Monday, though only staying at the hotel Thursday through Sunday.

Also, I am looking for a hotel roommate, should someone be interested.
