I couldn't imagine it being anywhere as good as before unless it was held in Vegas.
Ex can stay in my driveway if he has a car :O
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.
When is everything going to be official and decided? I want to make my plans well in advance >_<
I would like to remind people to keep it civil at the Fan Faire. I have on file various occurrences of threats to hurt people at this meeting. I trust appropriate security will be on-site during the events.I ask that if something does happen, to not intervene and advise security immediately so they can deal with it. In another online game a bystander tried to stop a conflict between members of two rival clans at a meet and greet, and lost his life in the process. This is very upsetting when people lose their lives due to in-game rivalries.I do not wish to scare, just making you aware some people take things too seriously. If you are feeling rational, so confrontational, just don't turn up.
