Betsy, I’ve found two roommates . . . but we’re also at a loss where to stay. The list on that link is LONG! And is it easy to get to the library via subway? Would we find less expensive hotels further out, but still easy to reach via subway? Any ideas about lodging would be helpful. I’m with Sheila on that, because I’d love to be heading to the same place as other KidLitCon people. I’ve been in NYC a couple times before, but have never spent the night or gotten myself there. I’ve ridden on subways in Paris and London and DC, but never NYC – so I’m a little daunted.

Oh, and that’s true about the Maker Faire and the Medieval Festival. Think of it this way: They happen in New York every year. KidLitCon? This may be your only chance.

Yes indeed! Recommendations I can provide. I included a link to some of them on the previous KidLitCon message. If you look there you’ll see the listing. If you’d like personal recommendations let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

Free is good! Thanks for all your work organizing this. I understand that you couldn’t get a hotel block, but do you have any recommendations? I know New York hotels are expensive, but it would be great if we could find one or two nearby places so that we can all be in the same hotel. At most of the conferences I’ve been to, some of the best conversations have taken place in the hotel bar after hours.

would you believe this conflicts with both the maker faire (new york hall of science, queens) and the medieval festival (fort tryon park, washington heights)?

Would that I could afford to go to NYC to be there, but I’m blowing vacation time and money the weekend before to go to D.C. for the National Book Festival. Have loads of fun without me!
