Do people take classes on how to ride those things? They seem so convenient, but I’ve been afraid to just jump on one and try to scooter off because Death?
I read a post of someone who said they had used the 24 hour shuttles as a 'hotel'. I first thought that was a joke, and then today saw a short film about homeless folk in Silcon Valley that use an all night bus as a hotel...a tragic last resort.

They do that in NYC. The E line, which is what I take to work, is especially notorious for all the homeless people on it (and I see at least 1 or 2 a week as opposed to seeing it once a month).
It is a little sad that the shuttles are not 24hrs now. It was part of the vibe but maybe a sign of the "peak".
Yep.24 hr shuttles started roughly the same time as volunteer reg instantly being filled up.The last few years volunteer reg has filled up more slowly, to the point where this year it was open almost a month (though it did go down a few times in between.)I want to wait until next year to see if the 24 hour shuttles are back before officially calling this the next domino...but I don't think they'll be back. Nothing can be completely insane forever.

I understand why the homeless do that in general, but why would someone attending comic-com do that? It's easier and much comfier to put up a tent on the lawn. The cops don't hassle you during comic-con.
My sister noticed that last year on the hotel listing form, the Embassy Suites was noted to be .7 miles from the convention center, and there was a shuttle stop. This year, the Embassy Suites is listed at 1.1 miles, with no shuttle stop. I found that a bit odd. Ok...what moved--the Embassy Suites or the Convention Center???
