To which Commodore Clifford replies...

Yeah, the timing isn't always good.  And having somewhere to stay is
nice.  Though I've found sometimes you can get good deals.  The one year
I stayed at a place by the airport (even though that meant overshooting
Indy since I'm from Ohio) and that was the year they had the shuttle, so
not having to drive was amazing... that LaQuinta was a great deal. I
think that suite was bigger than my actual apartment at the time and with
the discount I got from working at Walmart back then, I was paying about
$95 a night.

The best year though was the year I won the hotel lottery and got a room
booked in the hotel right across the street (just had to use the
skywalk).

That was the year I got to enjoy some drinking while gaming.
