What's scarier is that not even everyone that I know from Botcon was in the picture.

That gives me an idea. What if several (or as many as possible) of the board members who attend BotCon get together and compile a collection of all their best BotCon photos into one giant gallery for the site? That way all the people who didnt get to go could see it from all sorts of perspectives.

I warn you though, thus far all the Gentlemen are Married, Engaged, or otherwise attached so no attempt at using feminine wilds will work on us.
I will have my troops under control by the time of the CON. I will PM you with details of the game challenge. It will be a secret for now.

i can't get enough of the trailer. It's simple but really freaking cool. The backwards loop puts it over the top for me. I was using my laptop last nite and pulled it up to hear it. Heard it once all the way through, then rewound it to play just the backwards music, played it, then my laptop shut down right after. Battery died. Awesome effect! Soundwave & Blaster would be proud.

Here's a quote:
Convention Registration:
Primus Package: $279.00
Ohio Sales Tax: 6%
Hamilton County Sales Tax: .05%
Total for Convention Access and Boxset: $297.14
Travel Cost (If driving, approx 30 MPG):
Distance from St. Louis to Cincinnati: 350 miles, 700 roundtrip (approx)
Current Gas Prices in St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati: $3.00 per gallon
Predicted gas prices in April: $3.25 per gallon
Total cost for fuel: $75.84 (approx)
Hotel Cost:
Current Botcon Hotel (The Hyatt) cost per night: $135.00
Current Hotel Tax Rate in Cincinnati: 17%
Since I don't know your plans (who you may share a room with, how many days you plan to stay, I'll let you figure this out).
$135.00 x # of nights x 1.17 = total cost of room
-----------------------------
# of people in room = total cost per person
For example, say you plan on sharing the room with two people and plan on staying Thursday through Sunday. This is how much that would cost:
$135.00 x 3 x 1.17 = $473.85
$473.85 / 3 = $157.95
Misc. Costs:
Food for weekend = $60.00 (approx)
So, your total cost to go to Botcon is:
$300.00 + $75.00 + $157.95 + $60.00 = $592.95
Then, if you want to figure in the souvenier sets....
$160 (estimate) + 6.5% sales tax = $170.40
New total = $763.35
So if you want all the exclusive toys, you're looking at about $800.00 just that and the convention weekend alone.
Probably should add on at least another $200.00 to play with in the dealer room for a total of about $1,000.00
Hope that helps ya out Pyrostrata.

If I did that, we'd have a lot more people end up at Botcon, because that would be the only event I pretty much have mastered the cost of.
