By now winners and losers of MFF’s Room Lottery are being notified. As you might have already known there are more losers than actual winners, meanwhile the losers are scrambling to find any space in an available room… SOMEWHERE?!!!
This is the problem with major cons, they have there room lotteries so close to the actual date of the convention it’s either hard or nearly impossible to find a room anywhere.
This is why I say “Keep Your Opinions Open”.
To tell you the truth I made my reservation back in May, and got a room for a friend and I and it’s all set. But I know this doesn’t help anyone looking.
The way I see it, you have 2 Options. Look for a hotel anywhere in the area and commute to MFF, or check out AirBNB as of this post there are rooms available for as little as $106 a night. Of course commuting will happen, but with all the options including a pretty good local bus system. If you want to come, you may not have a choice.
