Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Hello hive mind!

Me and my friend Kirsty are coming to LA, and then San Diego for Comic-Con this year. Woo!

However, we've hit a problem. We can't find a hotel anywhere near the convention center which isn't booked. Help! We've got a budget of about $140 for a double bed room. Any suggestions?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kat, I did! Good times.

I don't know if you got to her during activities, but it's so loud in there during that time.

Hey, do any of the local Buffistas want a compost bin? I got this Smith & Hawken jobbie I really don't need, because I don't even have much of a yard to put the composted dirt in. Besides, the city collects and composts food waste with our yard debris, now, which is awesome.

Yeah, it was definitely a little chaotic, in a good way. Noodles.

The status is NOT quo.

Kevin, your best bet is to use hotels.com and search around the San Diego Convention Center, but your budget is a bit low for what hotels in the height of tourist season down there charge. Good luck!

Kristin, cheers! We've got one in budget from hotels.com now. It's 6 miles away from the convention centre - I think we're gonna be taxing it a lot!

So you made it to the Festival at least Kat?
