a retrospective of the marriott marquis

I like to take pics of our hotel room whenever we’re out of town, so i realised I’ve got a decent collection of pics of our Marriott room from almost every dragoncon. I noticed, when digging through my ’02 pics, how different the rooms looked back then.

Our typical messy room.

seriously… marriott room ’02? You look like a cheap motel room a hooker is about to get killed in. (The grainy, scanned in film photo doesn’t help.)

dcon room ’03… you are a mess. But the comforters are an improvement.
(though not much.)

dcon room 04, you look really clean! We hadn’t made a mess yet! the giant 80s wooden entertainment center made a nice spot to store all my head gear.

dcon room 05! I remember this year being the year the toilet didn’t work so we had to get someone to come fix it and we had constant hammering and construction work going on the floor above us, and that it was really crowded with 4 people and like 15 costumes stuffed in one room.
but that was the best year…!

dcon room 06, is this the year they re-did everything? I can’t tell, because this is the closest thing I have to a shot of the room. Ha. Hey PEOPLE get out of my shot of my HOTEL ROOM!
