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. ;-)

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.

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*

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

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".

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

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.

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

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