Tell your padre to fuck off o_O. Man that's dickish. You're not 10, time for him to stop spyin.

You do what you gotta do you know? The tents aren't a long walk to the "con grounds" by the way, they're smack dab in it:P, and all around it. And if you have/bring the right bedding, it's perfectly comfortable and warm. Things aren't forecasted to be terribly cold for the week, though it will get chilly at night, but better than past years it seems. Just bring plenty of blankets and indeed a sleeping bag. Best thing if you could get it, would be a nice comfy air matress, the bigger the better!

I've done the sleeping out of my car thing at past Cons, it's not fun:P, but then the point at these things is to be with your friends and have a good time...Fuck sleep! You'll find you'll konk out after about a day, day and a half with n o sleep, cause you'll be tryin to stay awake for as long as possible to do stuff and then more stuff!

Just keep in mind though that the a-frames don't cost you anything, other than registration. Tents are Registration + 10 dollars a day. The ten a day is not the con's fault, that's the Park's doing.

That could be a bit problematic. Fifty bucks is a bit out of my price range.
But dammit I don't want to just throw him under the bus like that... Maybe if I provided adequate bedding he'd be okay?

Well, there's different ways you can go about this. Theres' of course, the vehicle, but then would that be room enough for both, with your bedding, to sleep in? One might have to bite the bullet and take the A-frame while the other takes the car.

Another alternative is possibly rooming up with someone. The cabin or lodge people via the high costs of their accomodations (Those joints are like a 100+ a night) would likely want a fair share of that, which is of course fair but would of course surpass the 50 mark. So the next option is gettin some tent space. Torn went and got this monstrous tent that should be more than big enough for 4 people and hteit stuff, considering it's an 8 person tent. He says he'd be fine splitting the tent cost with you two, so that means you guys would only have to pay 25, or 12.50 each. So offers there. Torn would also have his fluffball husky, Kodi, with us, but hes' been along in the tent with us lots of times and done fine.

If you do decide to tent it with Dobie and I you should make sure you have something to sleep on. I have one cot I can loan out but that would leave one of you on the hard ground.
