    If we get a good number of people needing rooms im sure we can go to a hotel and negotiate a group rate.

    If you are a NRA member, state rifle association member, AARP member, or AAA member they usually have discount rates all you have to do is ask. Never be afraid to negotiate, but since it is an EXPO and Icrontic is a business you can simply ask for the business rate and usually they don't question you about it.

    If we don't stay in a hotel, I wouldn't mind being in the other half of the tent with Anne and Eli. <3

    This thread only serves to slow the passage of time for me.

    I'd be a happy camper if it were June.

    Got a job with what sounds like super flexible hours, it's too early to tell but I might be able to swing this. Above the official price how much would you budget for EPIC? I'd be tenting it.

    I usually budget about $60 per day for food and incidentals. Then I bring about $100 more than that.

    If you take a trip to the Hatter and want to buy, expect to spend around $50 to $100 for a killer hat, but their entire selection starts around $25.

    $75-$80 a day

    I budget about $45-50 a day and get by quite well. I don't eat any meals at home during this time, and that includes the gas of driving to/from ICHQ.

    I'm with Thrax. Although it depends on how much you eat (do you order huge meals, with appetizers, beers, + desset when you grub) and how many beers you drink - I've always been able to make it on about 50 bucks/day.

    I go on all the food tour stops (usually) and participate in the daily beer run.

    Guess it just depends how much of a cheap ass you are. :P

    I budget $1/day, and just have a sleeve of saltines for each meal.

    Sometimes I take a bunch of leftovers without names on them, and put them in the blender with several unfinished beers left-out the night before. I call this EPIC Mead, and it's nutritious.

    I can't stop laughing about EPIC Mead... somebody's going to end up making it this year.
