I hope you meant an either/or sort of thing..
What's the deal with the hotel arrangements?
TKK, res wrote the blurb. Ask her.
Billy B,
Here.
you have a brunch scheduled for marathon grill? are you sh*tting me? I googled "marathon grill citation fine" hoping to come up with evidence to dissuade you, but look what i found as the first return:
"I don't eat at Marathon Grill because they're notorious even in an industry which is notorious for this kind of thing..." -Atrios, Wed. Oct.12, 2005.
Read the entry. I haven't eaten there for years simply because I know they are a notoriously sh*tty employer. if there is a reason to change that point of view, I haven't heard it
stinkor,
Spoke with Atrios about the issue prior to booking, but we're pretty constrained by time and location: most people travelling from out of town need someplace in walking distance, and as Atrios noted to me, there's a somewhat surprising lack of good brunch places in Center City.
But flame away, and feel free to organize the next one.
General,
Someone else offered to be the Secod Life person on site. Drop me a line at the address in the sidebar and I'll hook you guys up.

Speaking as a Philadelphian, it's one of the three. Either walk down Market Street (the hotel's right next to Market) take the Market/Frankford El a few stops or a cab for a mile and a half or so.
I'd recommend the El.
OK -- I should be scheduled for the whole enchilada, but won't be staying at the hotel -- flight not scheduled to arrive until 3:26 -- not staying at the hotel do I have to touch base there first or can I just show up at Lucy's?
Hey gang. My husband wants to tag along for this as well. The PayPal is preset for quantities of one so just to give you a head's up - I will have what will look like double payments.
Thanks! Can't wait!
A suggestion . . .
there may be some of us who either don't know our schedules, or don't plan to attend, but would gladly support the cause. To that end:
1. A "scholarship" button whereby one might anonymously donate a registration fee for someone.
2. A donation button.
jac,
Note the "EschaCon Travel Fund" button in the left margin.
Prior A,
Of course you may meet us at Lucy's. See you there!
Lucy's is a great little spot. Philly for Changes (the organization which came of out the Philly for Dean movement) had it's monthly meetings there for a while.
And Lucy's sister bar across the street hosted the book PR event I organized for the Great Orange Satan and Jerome a couple summers ago.
Okay, I iz registered.
U can stop nagging me nao. ;-)

If you're a first time visitor to Philly and interested, if you walk you go past Independence Hall just a block to the south. It's the postcard view from Market between 5th and 6th Sts.
I can't even begin to tell you how disappointed I am that I can't be there.
Please blog for us that can't. We still would like to be a part of it all.
