Are you saying there is a hotel that rents rooms and companion corgis? I hope the hotel vets everyone involved, esp given fat-tailed risk potential.
Right now, as we speak, I think many attendees are running into the problem that there are few low cost rooms to be booked.
So I think many EAs are going through the anxiety of having booked expensive rooms as a result, or are spending hours circling the booking process. This anxiety is probably borne by more conscientious EAs.
This is bad and I think people should book those rooms, despite the higher price.
So I made a joke about corgis and a fancy room, trying to show by example that this is OK. I thought doing this with a joke was way more effective (and less dry and briefer) than writing out the above. I think this is true, the joke and corgi picture was glorious.
I deleted this comment. No one messaged me about it, I just did it because I think there are downsides to my joke, including creating anxiety among a smaller group of organizers.
:) I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a thing, and stand by my bad puns. Didn’t realize you were joking, but also didn’t judge the corgi hotel other than feeling slightly concerned about the possibility of animal exploitation.
I’m sorry to hear that others experience anxiety around finding lodging too, and think surveying for potential value of group bookings might be good.
