arisia?

Hey. I decided I'm going to Arisia this year. All you people who've gone before, is there anything I should know? Also, would you strongly recommend getting a hotel room? I just don't know that I want to shell out that money for a room to myself. If anyone's interested in sharing with me, let me know (I know a lot of people take the "arisia + hotel room = romantical" opportunity, and I honestly don't want to rain on anyone's sexy parade, so don't say you want to share a room if you don't!). Yeah. So... thoughts?

PS. I <3 this new icon!!!

::edit:: I will be perfectly happy just to T there and back each day (or get a cab home if I stay late) if the room thing doesn't work out. I just thought it was worth asking.
