This is great news. However, I already made vacation plans to go to Providence THIS year. Actually, I created another thread on this site, "Visiting Lovecraft's Hometown", which I can't find at the moment. And while I don't want to waste your time, I was wondering if anyone had a good hotel recommendation (addresses would be great, but even if you could just throw out a name or two that would help) for seeing the major Lovecraft landmarks? I'm horrible at planning things, and I'm pretty much thinking that I will just get the list of stuff to see off of the "Lovecraft Historical Society" site, get the hotel, and wing it from there. I'm thinking of staying for five days or so, and pretty much just walking around and so forth, as my mood dictates...
Of course, there's always "Hotels.com", but I was hoping that perhaps in "insider" could give me a better recommendation than I might happen to stumble upon by chance.
Oh, and can you just "GPS" HPL's different Addresses? That's kind of a funny notion! (But I might need the zipcode for that to work, I'm not sure....)
Like I said, I don't want to hijack a CAS website for my own selfish purposes! But if there is a good hotel (cheap but nice, etc.) that you would recommend, I would be infinitely grateful. (And hopefully this will serve anyone else who may likewise want to go and see HPL's hometown in person.) That, and any quick insights regarding "what I should look for", etc. (i.e, anything not on the HPL Historical Society website.)
Of course, the thing next year looks too good to pass up. (Even for an unsocial recluse like myself!) However, I'm kind of set on just getting the hell out of my dull routine and doing it this year. Perhaps in the next month or two.
Any thoughts?
