Transportation ruins my chances of going to SimuCon. $900 to fly out to St Louis! I'm so jealous of every attendee. :(

I flew from Sweden my last two times, so I understand the difficulty of the expensive flight. BUT, it's worth it.

Just remember to include plenty in your budget for buying people fruity girly drinks...

Seriously, from the link the rooms are going to be $92 per night? A 3 night two person with tax is 317.90???

No, it's just a joke.
Its a nice hotel in a decent area (lots of restaurants around in walking distance).
I don't know really what to tell you if you feel its an outrageous price, except perhaps to see if you can find people to room with to help defray costs.

As a bard, you can use SONG to list the enchantes you know.
You have learned Dragon's Breath [db] from a scroll and must maintain at least somewhat less than half your normal attunement to keep it.

I'm working on getting my passport atm and my bank account is being padded in anticipation. I'm not a 100% attendee yet, but the chances are looking good 2011 will finally be my Simucon year.
I'd be looking to split a 2 bed room among 4 people. If thats up your alley, and you're okay with a gay roommate, add me to a tentative list of potentential roomies?

Gay, geeky, and a little bit cheeky.

Oh, and I vaguely recall someone mentioning something about two airports or terminal in St Louis, and that one of them is ridiculously closer to the hotel?
If so, could I get more details so I don't end up researching/purchasing tickets to the wrong one. The one I've found is STL.
Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up Evran! I'll definitely keep that in mind--A bunch of my friends had talked about going this year too so I'm trying to see if they're going to flake out or not at the moment :P
Also yea, if anyone knows any magic flights or whatever that are super inexpensive please share that information :)

You'll want the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (STL) which is the main airport used by the city. There is also a free shuttle bus to and from the airport to our hotel from this airport.
The St. Louis Downtown Airport (CPS) is near downtown and the one you do not want. Though I don't think it is very easy to get a flight in there.

Two is in fact better than one, but it seems highly unlikely I'll make this year my second time. It will happen again though, one day!
