I'm goin' =]

I can't say that I don't want to go, I just feel that It would be prohibitively expensive to find my way down there, etc. SO... Who's up for carpooling 1,166 miles and splitting the approx $250 gas bill?

[SLOWPOKETAIL]

I'd really like to try and go this year

[Cink]

Seems unrealistic for me. I'd be interested in carpooling, but we're looking at a good 5 or 6 hundred dollars when you figure in food and hotel costs...Seems kinda pricey to me...

Who needs a hotel when you can crash at the lan, or can't you? Besides a buch could always split a room or something.

[HasHasu]

Cost is pretty small no matter what if you divide it up.

The real hurdle is the ~20 hours or so it takes to get there.

yep, personally I'd be down for driving straight, swapping drivers every so often.

Hmm, Ass is moving to Dallas at some point..

You guys have a good point. Well I suppose I can't vouch that I'll have the money for sure, but it isn't until August so it wouldn't be hard to put aside the money from a summer income. I'd be interested in driving straight through and crashing at the lan.

[keK]

90% I'll be flying and in the Tower part of the hotel.

Can probably catch me at the tournament section ^_^

Pfff you and your sponsored luxuries.

[keK]

Psh, I worked hard for these luxuries. Maybe if you guys get really good, talk to mainLine gaming, they're looking for 1-2 quakeplayers to send to QuakeCON and have a couple extra rooms.

[Prime]

yeah but its quake I haven't played any quake games since high school

if I could go pro it would be in mw2 or bc2

cool to see some gamers that are in the competitive circuit

[mythlogic]

they play everything, the tournaments are sic, the place is swag heaven and the hotel is really nice. If you stay at the hotel, 4person to a room and drive in one big assed van or something it ends up being about $350 a person with everything all in.
