I couldn't imagine it being anywhere as good as before unless it was held in Vegas.

If I could get ex hired and on the payroll soon enough, he could make it. SMILEY

Most hospitable, though the purchasing and shipping of a vehicle may prove more expensive.

Maybe if some of us know how much it actually costs round trip. Jumping ahead - and say assuming it's in Las Vegas again.

Think about:
$ Price of Tickets
$ Hotel Room
$ Air Fair (most costly usually)
$ Food, booze, drugs & hookers (I mean "Holiday Helpers")

I've been to Vegas about 3 times already and all up and down the strip. So I know where the cheap, free fun can be. Lions in MGM, Rollercoster on top of the Statoshpere (rides and also in NY/NY and Circus Circus). Some advice ... don't go into Circus Circus is you are really drunk and/or stoned. Remember Fear & Loathing - yeh its alot like that @.@ . Been to the dinner theatrics of Excalibur, and of course the Star Trek exprerience in the Hilton. I won $150 on slots at the Hilton last time I was there - woowoo! And the best dinner is not on the strip, it's at Sam's Town which is a little off the strip. Best steak dinner for cheap ever! And there is the Fremont Experience which is a little off the strip as well. In an older section. A huge overhead lightshow comes on at night. Pretty fun!

My estimates for someone who lives in Pacific NW, comes to about $2000 total. Not something to sneeze at. That might be a little on the high side, but it's not too far off. I'd just like to get a more realistic expectation on what it will cost. Because I do want to go. But I have to really start throwing some money in my piggybank. Hope my tax return and that $600 government bonus "stimulus" check comes soon.

And if I can really go ... I do need dates, times, and a spot to start reserving. Getting plane tickets is the hardest.

I am going to this over BOTCON ... the biggest Transformers convention. Which is something I have also dreamed of going to. Wow ... I must like video games.

They are comfirming where and when this week I thought.

I need it in advance to, cos of flights from the UK >.<

NightTrace

Well I'm a poor sob balancing bills and whatnot. So the farther ahead of time I know, the better chances are of me going.

Make my flight bookings, hotel bookings etc, and save some spending $ to waste on booze and bail.

Also, I need to make myself that t-shirt

Big ol DOE logo on the back.

"BANNED FOR EXCESSIVE NEGATIVITY" in big red letters across it.

NightTrace - MCDoE on the right breast.

Can you tell I put some thought into this yet? SMILEY

Havocide

Lol yus. Haha.

Hope we get some good costumes there this year, if anyone is gonna dress up SMILEY

NightTrace

I'll be the one dressed as "Random Bluepill#5" from Club Sphinx.

You know, regular clothing, and a bottle of something alcoholic. SMILEY
