[QUOTE="amazingshafeman, post: 3025072, member: 29870"] Hotels.com and we got a cheap Days Inn room about 5-10 minute drive from the Con for $50/night. Two of us in the room. My costs were: 100 - room 60 - gas (120 round trip, MN to Indy split between the 2 of us) 60 - pass 54 - event tickets (including True Dungeon) 150 - food (alcatraz once, ram twice, pizza once, and lunch at the sushi bar once, plus overpriced convention center snacks) 160 - mad loot 45 - purchases made AFTER the con (would have been more, but the FLGS only had 1 of the things I wanted and couldn't find at the con itself) 56 - parking ------ 685 total Ways to save for next year - more people on the trip to save on gas. (we're spending more on a hotel for convenience. not because the cheapo was bad, just because we can) less scheduled events, more mingling and pick up games. I'd say taking our own food, but I love the Ram and the sushi bar. They'll be getting more of my money next year. If you volunteer you can cut that down further by getting free admission and even a free room.... [/QUOTE]
