FurCons, I wish I could go to all of them.
12 years ago
I've been looking around at all the cons that are going to be happening soon, and I'm like, "Gee, wish I could go to every single one." I mean, there's Furry Fiesta, FWA, RCFM, AC, Megaplex, and MFM. (These are only the ones I can remember, there's probably more.) All of these are cons that I'd like to go to.
The only problem is... money. If everyone will recall from one of my earlier journals, I lost my job not too long ago. Because of this, I'm starting to run low on funds. And, because of this, I've got to save as much money as I can. But, then I see the list of cons that I want to go to... Oi... Why are cons so pricey? I mean, besides the price of admissions, there's gas money so I can drive there, there's food money so I don't starve, there's room money so I have a place to stay, and then there's con money so I can buy stuff while I'm at the con. That's a lot of money! I mean, there are a couple of prices that I can lower, like food and con money (since food is in the con suite and I don't have to buy everything I see), but usually the total is still over $150! If I have to spend like $200 or more per con I want to go to, I'll be bankrupt...
*sigh* I would like... no... LOVE to go to each one of those cons. I really would. But, sadly, unless someone wants to pay for most of my expenses or I can get a job and have the days off, I'm not going to be able to go to each con. So, my question is this: Which cons should I go to and which should I sit out on? (To put it into perspective, I have about $500 in my debit and $1000 in my savings) Now if someone is willing to pay my way or at least a good portion of the cost, then I'd be more than happy to go! I mean, I'd owe them big time! >w< But, of course, who would want to spend that much money just to have me there with them?

Im not sure if you considered this, but at most cons if you volunteer to work for a certain amount of hours they will let you stay for free either that year or the next. I know AC does that but I'm not sure about the other ones. The only ones I think I will ever have the chance to see are IFC and MFF.

Actually I believe almost all the cons do that. They usually are like "If you work for us for a certain amount of hours, your con expenses (this only includes the room and entrance fee) is free!
