I think we should probably risk it. It kinda makes me *really* nervous, though, so I'll try one other thing first. I've found a number of hotels where a double room costs between 50 and 60-something pounds. I'm going to post an offer on the list to share a room in one of those hotels with any latecomer who still doesn't have a room. I'm not going to book immediately, but wait for reactions, until, say, Monday evening. If someone replies to the offer, I'll get a room in one of the cheap hotels. If not, well, then we share 'illegally', BABEs-fashion. ;-) And in case I get thrown out of the hotel I'll have a list of all the cheap hotels in my pocket so I can move to one of them instantly (though that, of course, will be expensive.)
The whole thing still makes me really, really nervous, but what can you do.
Oh, if I get *too* nervous I could also book a single room in the cheapest hotel, for around 44 pounds a night. I should decide on that very soon, though, 'cause it's only that cheap if you book online and in advance...
Re: mobile/cell phone numbers. Are you sure your phone will work in the UK? There are some incompatibilities, I've heard.
Also: We should text, not talk - calling from a US phone in the UK to a German phone in the UK will be prohibitively expensive, and I have a very limited phone budget.
I'll send you my number in a moment, to your e-mail address you used on the HLWW list. Could you forward it to Becca, too? I don't have her e-mail addy. Oh, and K'immie's also going to be there! We should have a real little BABE meet-up!
Lastly: What are you doing on Friday night? I'll be arriving quite late - 19:45 - but I'd like to meet up with some fellow fen anyway, I think... possibly to have dinner?
Oookay... here's a plan:
