So tempted

[holdouttrout]

Cost of DragonCon membership: $60
Cost of flights to and from ATL for DragonCon: $540
Total Price of DragonCon before food and hotel: $600

To put this in perspective, I paid about $800 for flights alone last year.

Help me, guys. I'm not sure I can resist this kind of temptation.

Also, who wants to room with me? (I know, I know--it's really early for that sort of thing). Ask Bean if you need references about my snugglebunnability. ;-)

You have to ask about rooming??

Silly little snuggle bunny.

I just didn't want to presume anything...

**thwaps you softly**

But um, like Splash, I can't commit to anything right now. I am planning on going. but can't do anything about it quite yet.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

No, no. That makes perfect sense. Like I said...too early. I'm still thinking waiting on the plane tix might not be a bad idea, either.

But then it could be a *very* bad idea...

[niamaea.livejournal.com]

Gah, I just did my math for the first time and Dragon*con for me would be just shy of $300 before food and hotel. So much cheaper than I thought it would be! I...think I'm going. *flail!*

*cheers*

...it really is too early to be this excited.

...isn't it?

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Doooo iiiiiit!

If I can go I'd be happy to room, but I won't be able to make a firm comittment before April.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

I don't think the rates are up yet, anyway. Maybe we can get a whole floor...*snickers at the imagined takeover of dragon*con by SG-1 lj peeps*

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Depends on the hotel. I've heard people have already booked their rooms and I think the Hyatt may already be sold out.

[beanpot.livejournal.com]

The Hyatt just seems overwhelming with all the stuff that happens there. Was talking with Abysiss about the Hilton or the Marriott...

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, either of those would be preferable. Apparently even though the codes are not available, people have been making reservations, and just requesting the "dragoncon rate".

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

That's...wow. But understandable, I guess.

[pepper-field.livejournal.com]

I just had a look, and the DragonCon page has a code for the Marriott. At a quick test, it's $165 per 4-person room, per night.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...very nice. ARe you still planning on trying for Gatecon, too?

[phdelicious.livejournal.com]

I was in the Marriott this past D*Con and it worked out very nicely.

*sigh* Seeing as how I currently seem to have a negative income again, I'm going to have to pass. I have actor-phobia anyway, so I don't know why that makes me sad.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

I have actor-phobia anyway, so I don't know why that makes me sad.

It's the general excitement.

*loves your icon*

[phdelicious.livejournal.com]

Gah! It is way to early to make me start thinking about that yet. Esp as I'm looking for a job and have no idea what I'll be doing or where I'll be by then.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

But, but--*flails and points to your icon*

[phdelicious.livejournal.com]

hehehe... I can't exactly price plane tickets if I don't know where I'll be coming from. Besides, we don't know if they'll be back or not *points at both icons*

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Very true. And wise. On both counts.

[phdelicious.livejournal.com]

Though if Katee (or Amanda) were to come I'd go even if the boys weren't going to be there.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. Gotta see our girls.

[pepper-field.livejournal.com]

I'll room with you! Well, if you have earplugs... :7

(Man, I really need to look at flights, don't I?)

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

You know...snoring doesn't actually bother me. I do not understand this. Although I suspect I snore, too, so that may have something to do with it.

[pepper-field.livejournal.com]

Well, I am bearable, I believe - I've roomed with friends before, on college trips to Paris and Barcelona, and they didn't murder me in my sleep. *g*

Flights from London to Atlanta - £380 rtn. Wow, much cheaper than I'd thought.

(I'M SO EXCITED!!!)

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

That's not bad, really. At all, actually.

I don't murder in my sleep, or anyone else's. *grins*

[abyssinia4077.livejournal.com]

Assuming I go (and I so will if I can at all wing it, I just have no idea where I'll be or what I'll be doing with school) I would love to room with you again.
But, yeah, can't commit yet.

Still. DRAGON*CON! And Pepper's coming from so far away.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

*squees in joy*

[surreallis.livejournal.com]

I think I'm definitely going, barring any sudden, weird happenstance. I'll be planning on it anyway. You've obviously got enough roommates, but keep me in the loop so I know where you guys are staying. I'll stay at the same place. :)

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Sweeeet...lj party!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Dude. You should go. Even if it breaks the bank. *nods*

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

It's true. You're planning on going, right?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Yup. The biggest party and freakshow in the world....

[karma-aster.livejournal.com]

I'll totally be there. And I would love to find a roomie.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Bean and I are thinking maybe we'll start the flocks next month to plan things out.

It's gonna be awesome.

[karma-aster.livejournal.com]

Coolness. I'd love to be in on it if you want.
