WisCon 22?

Who is going?

Who can potentially recommend a more affordable hotel that's close by for a couple of people who cannot afford to rent a car & one of them is mobility-impaired (me, but due to air travel I will be using only a cane which makes me s l o w, unless the con rents wheelchairs). Or is this a terrible idea and we should just stay at the con hotel? Note that I am pathologically afraid of Uber and would want to be able to do this via walking or public transit.

I was nominated for funding assistance back in 2020 but 2020 happened. I'm considering whether I should ask for it again or not since the situation is substantially different and it is not as significant a need though it would still be a help (I just no longer will be able to bring the person whose appearance as my wheelchair-pusher if renting a manual was an option would be a big help but would also result in income loss).

I'm not 100% sure I'm going to make it but I'm trying very very hard to make it happen. A close friend of mine who isn't on DW would be coming with me and they have been to many WisCons, having been a UW Madison grad student.

Um, how to put this kindly. The WisCon website probably hasn't been updated because there's a high probability the entire con will fold after this year: http://wiscon.net/2021/11/29/lets-save-wiscon/
