I'm missing a lot of the con by going home and not staying at the con hotel. Missing late night parties. Missing morning events before I can get up and get there.
Maybe next year. In these dark economic times, paying for a hotel room 4 miles from home still seems hard to justify.
As someone else who always goes home (even if that means staggering bleary towards the garage at 4 AM), yeah, it does suck a lot. Hotel room prices aren't as bad if you split them with 2 or 3 other people in the traditional manner... just check ahead of time for snorers.
I finally discovered a couple of years ago that you miss much less of the con if you are willing to pay for the cab ride home instead of ducking out to catch the T. Yeah, I still miss morning panels that I want to get to, but I can stay for as much of the late night performances and parties as I want.
But I *might* choose to get a room one of these years.
