Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

You go to WSU/UI?
Yeah. Give me a schedule of when you're leaving and I'll chip in for gas or something.
Food: dollar menu. <G> It's even cheaper if you bring/cook your own, but whether you have cooking facilities... them little George Foreman grills are nice, but limit you as to what you get to eat. (And would have to be used on the balcony, as well; less power drain than a micro, h'wever.)
Me, I'm budgeting for something *special*: Fatburger. (http://www.fatburger.net/)(120 Bellvue Way
NE) Charbroiled Double Kingburger with Cheese and Bacon. Gluttonicious...
So - here's what I found thus far:
8 Passenger - $264 + Tax and other fees = $300 Plus Fuel
8 peeps = $38 ea
7 peeps = $43 ea
6 pee9s = $50 ea
any less and get a minivan which will be about the same price... :?
12 Passenger - $480 + Tax =$550 Plus Fuel
12 peeps = $46 ea
11 peeps = $50 ea
10 peeps = $55 ea
These are "special order" sort of rents
If full of peoples, there will be room for one suitcase (or similar) so not real good for hauling peoples AND computers. That's round one anyway - availablity is all over the place - hell, it costs $10 to pick it up at the airport - and "access fee" they call it.
I'll make some calls to see if there is anything else out there.
So - with fewer peoples
The "official' room rate is $79 for saturday night, I will check if that's good for Friday and Sunday as well.
With four peoples per room (with tax and what not we are talking $90 per night) - that's $22.50 * 3 = $67.50
Transportation and lodgind will set you back $105.50 to $122.50, not including fuel - and that's if we have four per room.
So - add in $20 a head for gas (yes, it's going to cost at LEAST that much) you'll need to budget $125 to $150 to get there and back.
Food - heh, no clue here yet gang
I grew up here on the east side (Chewelah) and it amazes me of how many Spo-kompton, Spo-kanistan, etc etc names there are. I don't know any other cities with that many plays on its city name.
