Listen to the Rain

I'm glad that I'm a member of Anime Chicago, because on their Discord this morning spacedragon alerted all of us that the ACEN room blocks were going on sale at noon today. Since ACEN 2020 was cancelled due to plague and since this entire year has been weird and atemporal, it completely slipped my mind that room signup was at the end of summer. Good thing we got that arning, because I logged into both the Hyatt and Hilton websites, checked twitter until animecentral tweeted out the room links, and when Hyatt crashed at the payment phase I was already most of the way through booking a room at the Embassy Suites, so I have a room now. I'm told that Embassy Suites has free breakfast and happy hour for only about $20 a night more, too.

Now to hope that ACEN 2021 actually happens. 🧿
