Considering it's looking like I won't have to actually spend half my con money on the hotel room, pitching in for the car shouldn't be a problem anymore.

Sage- is 25, has a license!

Aaaaaaaactually I don't and never have.

I had a permit, but it expired and I was too rushed when I was getting my ID for general DLC2 purposes to bother getting another permit.

Insurance is a bastard. I'd've had a license years ago otherwise.

(Not that it matters for rental purposes, but I can't drive anyone anywhere, just to be clear. Well I mean I can but I'm not.)

Edit: And despite the low cash flow, I should definitely be able to chip in 20$ on the car.

Though if things go really badly(as in, I don't have any more cash for the trip than what I have on hand right now-I really hope this doesn't happen as that would be a bitch, I have like 50$ now. It shouldn't, but just saying if it does.), I may have to mail it to you later/give you a postdated check or something. I'll be fine on cash right after the con(like, literally the day I get home), due to the the stupid way things worked out timing-wise, so.

I don't mind chipping in for a car rental either.

You know, I'm guessing it's $66 per person per night, not $66 for the entire room per night.

(And yes, I will be happy to contribute to LD's car rental, and to help Ciato with bullying others into doing the same).

Which reminds me- International stuff. If you said you were going to help with that and are still able to do so, talk to me sometime before you leave.

Met if it costed that much I wouldn't be able to make it to the con at -all- >_>;

I mean seriously, I'll be able to bring like $200 tops and I need half of that for room and car. $66 a night -per person- is just asking for way too much.

Precisely is $66.6 per night
But that is without the taxes and other applicable misc. fees.

BTW, I do have car license.

Meeple will be gone until this Sunday. If you have any DLC related questions, I shall direct you to his phone number if you don't have it!

Uh, that's pretty standard for a decent hotel room. I just shelled out $190 for my share of three nights at Otakon.

Really depends on location, and on the class of the hotel. Personally I'd find 66x4 = 264 per night ludicrous for anywhere I personally planned to stay (even in high-land value markets you can find things for less than half that amount), but some people love their luxury. Probably an exception should be noted for small tourist trap resort towns, though... regardless, Wayne is not one such.

Anything more than 150 a night for a hotel means you're staying at a place that's too expensive and are either paying for the quality of the hotel, the location of the hotel, or are fucking terrible at shopping around.  66 a night just kind of surprises me because that's the going rate for a night at a motel around here, and I figured Jersey would be more expensive by a lot.

Maybe my problem is that I just don't do any traveling unless I'm visiting family where I don't need a hotel (or it's a business trip and I'm not paying).

I have a license, for the record.  My attendance dates are still fuzzy, but that's a seperate issue.

Hey guys.

First of all - Under 25-ness confirmed. License confirmed. I can afford to pitch in double (maybe triple) for the rental car if there's someone who -really- can't afford it. So, hopefully that puts LD's mind at ease somewhat.

Hey, just a thought: Once you blokes have everything figured out as far as who is picking up who from what airport, you should probably PM those people your cell phone numbers so people can find each other more easily than it would otherwise.

I assumed you were. I mentioned it a few times that no one seemed to be bringing it.

On the note of bringing things:

  • Arkham Horror and its expansions will be coming.
  • Betrayal - Soppy has it, yes?
  • PS3 - How much do you guys want/need this? It's really scary to think about lugging it cross-country, but it conveniently fits in Andrew's backpack so we can if it's necessary.

   - on that note, Wii/PS3 controllers and the like. Needed?

Is there anything Andrew's supposed to bring other than that? He may or may not remember, and I'm supposed to be his brain on these things. >_> I doubt he has any game anyone wants, but feel free to ask.

Soppy also has gloom (plus expansion), I believe. If not, I can bring my deck.

I have Betrayal, Gloom and the expansions, yes. As well as a PS3 w/2 controllers. Bring two more if you can/you think we need them.

Awesome. I'll toss in the controllers just to make sure they're available.

Okay, I can bring it in that case.
