    I've got $1,000 worth of hotel rooms for me and 20 others. Hopefully I should be getting most of that back though.

    I don't spend much beyond that, though.

    A few million, nothing big-- seriously though

    My vacation will be not very expensive. 118$ for the train 250$ for 4 nights at the sheraton, about another 100-200 just for food/screw around money. 600-700$ thereabouts. Its easily worth 2x that in value to me. Living in oregon helps too.

    With airfare, hotel, food and money I spend while in Seattle I will prolly have spent $1000 or more. (I plan to buy some presents while there).

    Dang!

    And here I thought I was going to be bad...

    Unfortunately I got put on a budget last week, and so as opposed to blowing about 1.5k I was planning on spending, I had to use that for bills and food. Now, all I have left is $325, including hotel, food, and gas for me and another person. Not too bad, but DANGIT!

    Had to reduce the cost of the hotel by bringing about 5 other people into the hotel. So much for a "complete get-away"

    *Sigh*

    I'm getting away cheap - $80 for two early bird passes, plus gas to and from Seattle (about $70), staying with a friend for free, and whatever food and snacks. Leaves plenty of money for pillaging the Pink Godzilla booth!

    $35 for early reg and whatever I spend on food to fuel me walking the 10 min from my apt to the convention center.

    I've got it rough.

    $60 for pass + BYOC, $75 for booze, $60 for gas, approximately $30/day for food, probably $60 for swag, so I'm looking at $350ish.

    $118 for the train? Even if you book right now, it's $88. When I booked my train from PDX to SEA in March, it was $59 round trip. $250 for 4 nights at the Sheraton, you must be sharing the room or have some crazy discounts!

    $130 Clipper ticket
    $250~ 3 days hotel
    $40 3 day pass
    $? Shopping in Seattle
    $100 food? ($30ish a day, guessing, hoping less)
    $50 swag (maybe a PAX 07 t-shirt, plus god knows what minor impulse buys)

    So that's about $500 and change, plus whatever I buy in Seattle. I do kinda need some more clothes for work.

    $35 for the pass
    $40(maybe more) on bawls
    $50 for random stuff I find at PAX

    So $125. I'm local, so I get the benefit of no hotel.
