I kind of really want to go to GenCon Indy<\/a>. Why? I dunno. I guess I feel like I need something to look forward to, and I’ve always wanted to go on a trip like this. I’ve been good. I’ve been making progress. For the most part. Sort of. I deserve a cool trip, right? I feel like that’s the case.<\/p>\n

I never do things like this, though, and I’m sure as fuck not going alone. So it’s a matter of getting people to go with me and figuring out logistics, costs, etc.<\/p>\n

That really is the main thing I’m worrying about. The cost of such things.. .I don’t even begin to know how much all that would cost.<\/p>\n

You know what? Let’s use Maths<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Okay, if things go my way, Rooms and admission is at least… what… 218 dollars if I split it with one other person. Plus driving costs… let’s say two full tanks of gas each way for 60 dollars split… and then food and event costs. If we’re smart, we can kill those food costs by not eating out much and doing some intense sandwich packing and stocking up at complimentary hotel breakfasts. I hear that’s useful at conventions. Events… I dunno how much those would cost or how many would be done! On top of all that, I’m sure to do some shopping and game-buying. I’d need at least somewhat of a budget for that.<\/p>\n

So we’re probably looking at at least $500 dollars for this trip, if I don’t go crazy. Or I suppose I could cut another hundred off of it or so if I convince another person to go.<\/p>\n

Yay for Maths!<\/p>\n

That’s not really out of the picture. I mean, I shouldn’t be spending money like that, but… at the same time… I’m normally pretty good with my funds… and I deserve some fun, right?
\nRight?<\/p>\n

I don’t know. I’m thinking about it, though. We’ll see if I make such a big jump. It would be a great time, though. I bet. Or at the very least, a lesson that I’m not really cut out for conventions. Heh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
