    Blah. Whatever. Don't dissolve us. Just don't give us an individual route and we can follow one team until a cross paths bar, then flip to another team, meet at cross paths bar, flip to last team.

    I like this idea. Just 'cause all you guys are too lame to realise that Hufflepuff is the best doesn't mean you should be deprived of our awesome presence. Let us follow each house for a time, drink your prefects and head of house into the ground, and continue on our way.

    And Aza, we don't want to be merged with Ravenclaw, we just realise the benefits of being in league with another house against the conglomerate of gryffindor/slytherin.

    Won't that end up with the Hufflepuff people going to some bars twice? I dunno, I haven't been before but it kinda sucks that nobody gets to see everybody.

    I'm sure we'll all break off and mix-up and whatnot along the way. Plus, we'll all be on the hill.

    Look for the other people talking loudly and dressed up like wizards. Trust me on this one.

    So guys. The NFL season schedule just came out and as fortune would have it, you'll be sharing the bars that night with a bunch of Seahawks and Raiders fans.

    Whenever you walk into a bar and the game is on, I say you start talking about strange muggle games and compare it to the latest Quidditch match.

    Uh yeah, going *into* the final bar last year there were maybe only like 15 people left. I doubt any of them were up to much of anything once leaving it. :P

    It really is up to you and how fancy you drink. If you are a beer and cider person then not much. If you are into shots it'll add up. I think I spent about a $75-100 on the crawl last year between buying drinks for myself and for friends. But remember that I like to roll on 32's and Cristal.

    I spent $7, but thats cause I am a lightweight.

    If you need a lot of booze, Shirts that show lots of cleavage might help lower the cost substantially.

    Hmm, well I don't really fancy to many beers, and girly drinks/shots are tasty.. In my head I'd guessed maybe $100. Maybe I'll just overbudget for $150 instead. Oof PAX this year should be interesting, now that I'm not totally broke, AND turning 21 the weekend before = w00t

    Like Mao said, as much as you want to spend. It was costly for me last year, but I was playing catch up with car bombs the whole night for myself and company.

    As sad as I want to admit, this too is true. Expect free drinks just for being a chick.

    I'm figuring after the hotel which I think is going to be between 200-300, since I'm sharing, and then wanting to buy other random stuff I need to have about 500-600 saved up..?

    That sounds about right. Last year for me:

    Hotel - 100
    Flight - 225
    Crawl - 100
    Food/Booze - 200ish

    $625 total

    I.. am going to do my damnedest to not get so trashed that I think doing the above is a good idea.

    Hmmm...I'm torn between my instinctual desire for free booze, and the knowledge that I graduate from nursing school the end of June which makes me feel like I should present myself with a degree of maturity and decorum.
