baitcon | hotel question and offer (Reply)

I've decided I'm crazy enough to go to Baitcon even though I'm leaving for Scotland the following Monday and have been looking into hotel rooms. Because of health reasons I think I need to get one - am not happy that even the "motels" are over $100. Anyone have any hints or know of a room-share? (must have A/C - I know it's not "supposed" to be that hot, but I just don't trust that and can't deal with another headache in an un-airconditioned place. (one this month was plenty) The other possibility is - does anyone know if the hotels/motels are likely to sell out that weekend? I could try camping on site if I know there're options if I get sick. I know the state campground is sold out (that's where I stayed in '02), but have no idea about other lodging.

Anyway, because I'm taking my cage.. uh.. car, I can bring stuff up. Besides my usual offer, I'll be stopping in PA on Thursday and will be going to a grocery store near my dad's place that has things that are unique to that area. If anyone wants anything, please let me know. (i.e. Wixon Shoe fly pie, Swiss ice tea (both made without corn), lancaster county type deli items, PA snack foods, Wilber ~~nibs (uh.. I think)~~ BUDS

I hate that I'm going to be doing this trip alone, but I doubt if anyone wants to leave early on Sunday (before lunch) or stop in PA on the way north from the DC area.
