CALLING ALL EAST-COASTERS (and Nejin and Red)

[NejinOniwa]

FUCKMASHITTINGDUCKS, though I kind of had a feeling of it, too.
Why hotels r so expensiv ;_;

[Chocofreak13]

if we had the money for a ride, or could figure out the local subways beforehand, we could probably book outside of the city, which would save a BUTTLOAD.

hay stew......can we ask a favour....? :3

[stewartsage]

There are no subways.  There's MARC if you want to go to or from DC (Not sure about prices but it's commuter service so it can't be terrible/you can probably get a card/I'll look it up) Amtrak for longer distances and the light rail but I don't know much about it's route.  I don't know, my last map large map of the city's from 1959.

That depends....

[Chocofreak13]

i was going to ask you to do what you just did. :3

hmm, that means we'd have to get around by taxi, which will suck >__<

[stewartsage]

Taxi?  ProTip: That's expensive as fuck.

[NejinOniwa]

Protip from snowland: It's also possible to walk.

Indeed, half the fun is how many odd looks you get while going to the convention dressed up

[NejinOniwa]

Even more so if the convention is spread out over a few k's and the general populace knows NOTHING of it all...

First UppCon I went to, '06. <3 We were a party of 6-ish crazies, and while I wasn't very dressed up, some of my mates - and the rest of the con-goers - certainly were. Innocent regular teenagers out strolling at night, and we were getting to one of the cinemas that had been hired for showing stuff - the WTFWHAT looks were veery nice. -w-

[Chocofreak13]

well, that IS fun times....i was merely thinking of how much it would suck to half to walk multiple blocks late at night. :\

i had a crazy sleep-deprived half-baked idea last night as i was wandering off to dreamland......

we get a tent
and find a place in some obscure part of the convention hall/hotel with a set of bathrooms......(some place that isn't being used)
and set up the tent. and we move to a different location every night of our stay.

i just remembered that tents are large and cumbersome, but if we split up the parts among ourselves then it could work. xD

[stewartsage]

Shelter halves.  They're maybe, five dollars each.

[Bella]

It's funny, cause if I come to the Con... or do any traveling that involves staying in hotels ... I plan on packing a pup-tent. TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM BEDBUGS IN HOTEL ROOMS, SEE?

Wouldn't this break about a million hotel rules though? =.=;;

[Chocofreak13]

it's a convention. hotel rules mean NOTHING.

[stewartsage]

The rules! They do nothing!

[Chocofreak13]

at a con, yes. at other times, no.

[Bella]

So, you've seen people camping at cons before, y/n?
