. . . wait, Technicon, in addition to being in McBryde instead of an actual convention center, is shutting down at eleven PM?

I want to go this year: a couple days of solid gaming, plus Mr Martin and Ursula Vernon. It's growing more and more difficult to justify the time and expense, though.

If the Ramada simply wanted too much money, more than the con could recover from, I can completely understand that. Hotel rates in Blacksburg are getting insane, and moving into McBryde would be the best--only--choice they had then. Until tonight I thought that was the case, actually.

I imagine they could have fifty people walk through the door at $10/person in McBryde and be in the black.

That's definitely one silver lining. Hopefully they'll make enough off of admissions to keep the momentum going for Tcon 26.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
