Question: 

So recently I was Checking out the prices for tickets to Otakon 2011
since I live a Metro ride’s distance from the Baltimore Convention
Center. I the price of tickets was already biting into my personal
money, but then I factored in the price of a hotel, travel expenses,
food and poket money for cool stuff I might wanna get at the Con, the
price became much larger that I had first percieved. With cons being
out of state, and real-life to attend to like jobs and bills how do
you guys save/budget you money and time for Cons? Thanks, and hope you
guy have a good rest of the show!
