Information for my Califur group (LOOK HERE SWEET!)
15 years ago
General
At which do you most can't the least?
This information is only relevant for my group for Califur.
We will be taking the minivan, which has seven seats. Since we only have six people, I'm going to take out one of the seats so we have plenty of extra room for cargo. According to GoogleMaps the trip will take somewhere between roughly seven and ten hours.
We will be leaving on Thursday June 3rd, and returning on Monday June 7th. I would like to discuss with everyone involved how we can all meet up so we can leave as early as possible. Perhaps some people could stay at my house the night before (McDog, this is most important for you since you live the farthest away from me).
Here is the cost breakdown:
Room: The final cost on I was given, including tax and parking was $568.28. We will also have to pay an $80 deposit ($20 per night) which will be refunded upon check-out. I'm not sure if this includes parking for the entire stay or not, so it may turn out to be a little more.
Plan to bring about $130 for the room, but it should work out to a little less than that.
Gas: I'm estimating that we will need to fill up on gas twice each way. This will probably be between $30 and $40 per fill-up. Budget $30 for gas, but I doubt it will be that much.
Sweet, you will be riding in our car, but not staying in our hotel room, so budget a bit of extra cash to chip in for parking. I don't know exactly ow much this will be since it was lumped in with our hotel room cost, but it could be around $16.
We will also bring plenty of food, so set aside some money for that.
Registration is $40 if you pay online before May 17, and it will be $45 any later than that, including at the convention. There are also other special events to which you can buy tickets, so if you want any of those it will cost more.
The total is looking to be roughly $200 (not including food), but I suggest you add a cushion to the budget, and make sure you set aside money for food. Also bring any spendable cash you want. There is an ATM in the hotel, but you will be charged fees if you withdraw money from it.
Sweet: I have sent you a VERY important private message regarding the convention, so please make sure to get it taken care of as soon as possible.
EDIT: I spoke with the hotel over the phone and learned that the parking will be free, and the extra cost on my invoice was a per night tax. You should still budget about $130 for the room, but a portion of that will be refunded. This is most important to Sweet, who no longer has to chip in for parking.
Also, I am asking that the people in my room pay their portion of the room in advance.

With five people in the room, we will have to take turns.
Also, remember to pre-print your barcode AUP's (User agreement forms, has a barcode on the bottom) That'll save you HOURS in line! <3
