Is it a bad sign that the first thing I do when I notice that the World Fantasy Convention 2007 website is up is follow the link to the hosting hotel’s site to see what they say about their bar?
[Oh, and, in case you were wondering, they say very little.]
“Why’s the single-malt always gone?”
Because I got there first?
Did I ever tell about how, the first couple times I went to the Goderich Celtic College/Festival, the local watering hole ran out of what I was drinking repeatedly before the week was over? The first year, for instance, I started drinking some crappy Canadian cider because it was the best they had. By Thursday they’d run out of that so I switched to whatever crappy single malt was the best the bar had. By Sunday they were out of that and I was reduced to drinking something blended? Hard times….
Now that’s impressive! I’d never pegged you as quite that much of a drunkard. 😉
ah, we did that at the WFC in Providence. Ran them out of single malt the first night, wine the second, and all decent beer by Saturday….

Yes, but that was publishing people. I expect it from them.
a) no, and b) I shall have to check with the concom (we have an Advance cout who can take care of this for us, as we did last year)
They may, in the end, have a perfectly servicable “lounge,” but it’s always vaguely troubling when the hotel doesn’t think enough of their own bar to at least attempt to name it.
Saratoga seems to me to be the kind of place harboring hotels that have excellent selections of everything in their bars. But then again, I’ve only been there once…
no, it’s a good sign. you’re like a boy scout, being prepared.
