Yo,
Wanted some honest reports from gamers on what a trip to GenCon costs for you. Every time I try to budget the trip, I get wildly different numbers. Assume I will need Hotel room: too old and fragile for the boat people approach but I do love to walk. Literally, a good 2 mile walk is heaven for me. Badge and entry fees: like everyone else Food: I wouldn't want to eat out too much but if there was a costco or trader joe's nearby... What does a beer go for?: I owe like 20 to people who will be there. Getting some bad ideas, BlueMax /there is nothing as beautiful as a bad idea made to work well |
