Lol, if I had saved enough money I wouldn't spend it on a flight to the USA for that anyway, at least not now.
I imagine it's just a few hundred dollars, inflights and busses etc to the USA and provisions...around 1000$ at least.
It's a tidy sum but not that bad if you save for a while though.
But then again, I fare poorly at such meetings, I barely joined some Israeli LoTR society meetings here, and this is a small country.
I remember the first time I went was still in the army(going there straight from a day's torture at my base), and it was only because it was in my city.

In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly.
I wish I could have been with you that one last time.

(It's a Dune con, not your fricking local NRA meeting. Hmmm. Does taking them across state lines up your jail time?)

So where are we going to do this DuneCon? And when? I can travel, and Im willing to.
If we are going to do it, I say we do it in Las Vegas. Not only is there a ton to do when we get glassy-eyed talking about Dune, but the flights there are cheap, food is cheap, hotel rooms are cheap, and male hookers for orald are cheap. What do you all say?
The only other alternative I see is going to where the concentration of us is highest. That seems to be New Mexico (for some strange reason) with Robspierre, TMB and Spicelon, but getting in and out of there is not cheap, or convienant.
Or, you could make it easiest for me and Ragabash, and just come to Sacramento!

Vegas is teh Phoop! But Albuquerque or Santa Fe sound good. How about Key West? Orald would LOVE that.Omphalos wrote:The only other alternative I see is going to where the concentration of us is highest. That seems to be New Mexico (for some strange reason) with Robspierre, TMB and Spicelon, but
Poop is funny.

This is reminding me of a trip I took on business to Vancouver many years ago. There were 10 of us, 4 woman and 6 men. We rented 2 virtually identical white cars at the airport.
Driving to dinner one night took us past a red light district. We joked at dinner about 2 hookers that were working a particular street corner. One was rather overweight, wearing a tiger outfit.
On the way back (we were following behind the other car a few blocks), we had to stop at the light where the 2 hookers were working. The tiger lady walked over to us, looked intensely in the car, we said "hi", she straightened up, and walked back to stand with her friend.
Apparently she thought that a white car with 5 people (2 women, 3 men) was circling the block, interested in doing business. It wasn't until the next morning at breakfast did we add things together, and what was behind that intense stare.
Even the 4 women in the group had a big laugh. Moral of the story: Be careful about taking on more than you can handle.
