Hi All,
Been following all of the 76th's threads.I've been dying to join and just now have time to post.I thought I was the only one to consider doing something like this.Silly me.I will do my damnest to be there.I would even volunteer to be an officer.
Also,I'm blown away by the level of collaboration by folks on this thread.My hat's off to you.Myself,I have limited time but would still like to help somehow.
Tristan: I do hope you realise what you've set in motion here! This is one of the most shiny happenings ever!

Welcome to all the marchers! I know there are some out there who posted on the other threads but have not "made their mark" here yet.
NaughtyMan, thank you for that. Glad you have decided to march with us! I am pretty sure you have checked out the other threads, but if not, there is a lot of info in them regarding costuming, weapons, ranking, etc. Again, welcome!
And I was also surprised at the reaction to this...I had no idea there were that many interested!

I am now officially depressed.
I was planning on going to Dragoncon next year, and your marching orders just made me more interested and excited.
But I finally did the math and there's just no way for me to afford it. The exchange rate is killing me. The whole deal would cost me R23 000-00. Approximately two months' salary.
Now I'm sad.
Sad and depressed.
Sad and depressed and disgusted.
What would be the chance of convincing the organisers to rather do the 'con in SA? *smiling hopefully*
*smile slips* Not all that great I suppose...
Oh well....Can I do a virtual march?
I'm thinking we'll rise again!

Canter, there is always a way! If you can get here, there should be crash space and there is always food about! It is also eight months away...plenty of time to rob a bank..er..save money!

I'm trawling for cheaper flights.
Maybe on one of the lesser known airlines.
If I can cut down on flights and accommodation I could maybe see a light on the end of the tunnel....without the light being the on coming train!
I can search for airline tickets from here, but what's the accommodation like?
On the Dracon*con site it says approx. 150 dollars a night. Is that then high-end or standard fares? Would I be able to get cheaper close by?
(I know next to nothing of dollar purchase power and how prices relate....)
I really want to make a trip to the US and this sounds like an excellent excuse to do so... But it has to be more affordable!
I'm thinking we'll rise again!

Canter, I do know that the more people in the room, the lower the prices. I am a newbie at this...it will be my second Con...but I do know that Browncoats are always looking for roommates, and that there are several nearby hotels with lower prices. I would suggest posting on the D*C thread when it appears....or there may already be one. Let people know what you are planning on doing, and there will be plenty of responses.
I hope to see you there!

Last year when my brother went he shared a room with 3 people, which menat he spent $150 for 3 nights total, if you do not mind floorspace instead of a bed you could probably stay at that main hotel and get the price down even further.
I think he even had some offers of free crash space.
Canter,
your best bet is to keep up to date with the 76th's growth and if there becomes an appropriate space for it post you are looking for a roommate and explain why (aka flying to America and how much the trip is going to cost you etc.), or you see someone looking for a roommate that is your chance!
tristan, my mind constantly whirls in multiple directions at once, the trick is typing as the thoughts come to me and worrying about organizing the thoughts and fixing typos later.

ArtCat, thank you. I guess I should have said that I have roommates this time...FFG, RIMG, and others have offered me space...but thank you for the tips. Canter can use them!
I know what you mean...my thoughts come and go quicker than I can type them sometimes!
