depressedThe base cost for me to do Anime Detour is $800, $300 for the airfare and about $500 for the room after taxes. This doesn't cover things like eating, drinking (I am too experienced a con veteran to rely on the consuite for these things) and any incidental expenses. Which always come up. I'll be grossing $400/week from H&R Block, which will probably be just enough to wipe out my unemployment -as it should- but not enough to let me do much more than pay the rent and (some) utilities while keeping a little gas in the truck and (hopefully) paying for the truck as well. Sure, I could blow my tax refund on Detour, but it would make a lot more sense for me to get caught up on my truck and phone payments.
So, yeah. I have a very very short list of people I'm checking with to see if they can use my room at the Sheraton. Please do not ask me if you are on that list. I also need to drop a note to Registration and ask them to roll me over to 2011, in the faint hope that things will be better then.
I guess that's about all there is to say about that. Going to go lay down and listen to country music until this feeling goes away, I think.
