No Char Con

After a great deal of planning and daily hotel negotiations, it turns out I'm not going to Char Con for a reunion with my college gaming buddies because all but one of them canceled at the last minute. A non-reunion wasn't worth the 20 hours of driving we'd be doing, despite how much we love our one friend who would still be able to attend. I lost money on the hotel reservation because all sales are final. The Hotwire staff were mostly abrasive and combative and I'm out almost $200 for a hotel I never stayed in. Safe to say I'll never book with them again.
