a) I hope you'll actually land in Düsseldorf (i.e. DUS) and haven't fallen for that cheap trick cheap airlines use by sending you to our perverted version of Frankfurt-Hahn, namely Niederrhein-Weeze (i.e. NRN), which is so freaking far away, it lost, in court, the right to have "Düsseldorf" in its name
if so, consider this another FYI for everyone. I just can never stress this enough until that place is bulldozed 
b) which hotel?
speaking of, I drove by the hotel the con is in yesterday. It looks almost done  And it's literally right across the airport terminal. When I was there when I left for London, I thought it was farther away.

Sound like it will be noisy at the Jedi-Con. From all the aircraft taking of and landing... 
Even worse that in front of ExCel, where Ian McDiarmid was constantly interrupted by planes from the near airport.

At least we're kinda used to it by now, aren't we??
I really hope I can make it - atm, I'm not really sure

It should be fine if there aren't any outdoors events, I didn't notice any airport noise when I was inside.
Can someone give me an estimate as to how much it'd cost to either stay in the hotel where Jedi Con is or in a hotel that's walking distance away?

the site's still only in German, but http://www.jedi-con.de/jedicon2008/con_infos/002_zimmerbuchungen.php lists "special con rates" apparently
Standard room
single room: € 89,00
double room: € 109,00
"Comfort room" (larger)
single room: € 99,00
double room: € 119,00
Junior-Suite (ca. 50 qm)
single room: € 159,00
double room: € 179,00
all prices are for 1 night and include breakfast
have to be booked directly with the hotel by supplying the keyowrd "Jedi-Con 2008" (it doesn't mention any codes you might get with tickets or something - don't have mine yet)
Phone: +49 (0) 211 5209-0 / Fax: -1000 / e-mail: info.dus@maritim.de
I'll take a look at the two or three other hotels that are near the airport. Don't know if they count as walking distance, though.
The hotel might be a good location space-wise, but if it weren't for the busline stopping practically right in front of my house, even I would have problems getting there. I think 04's CCD was more practical that way (but we'll see).
oh yeah, I doubt there will be any outdoor events (and planes don't fly right over the terminal)

I found 2 others that aren't ridiculously expensive (if you want that, take the Lindner Airport Hotel )
AirHotel Wartburg - 59€ single, 69€ double apparently (can't seem to link to the English site, you'll have to click the flag at the top )
a few stations by bus
Holiday Inn Express - from 101,50€ ... for both? the site confuses me
20 minutes by bus
I only went by price and proximity to the Airport. Everything else is more expensive (or didn't tell me any price at all  ) or farther away - and there's obviously no limit for either.
Alternately, though, there are a couple near the main station. It's not really close, but getting there would be easy. One's an ibis (ee-bis or ay-bis? ) the other a Holiday Inn (and probably a couple of smaller ones... somewhere).
And then there's this thing called "Motel One" that's right around the corner from where I live (55/70€), if anybody wants to be close to me (i.e. taking the bus to the con with me every morning)

As much as I really would like to go...I'm contemplating whether or not to go back and work at a US summer camp like I did last summer. Camp. Jedi-con. Which to choose!  Plus it will be the start of my final year at uni so that might become a factor, meh

It's the Easter weekend, so you can do both if you wanted to.

Ah that is true, but like all things it all depends on the money  I dunno, I really do fancy it, I just doubt I can commit to it right here and now
Will have a think about it
