Edit:
Why didn't I think of this before?

However, nothing on that site is restated in this journal entry...so it'll do you some good to read this.

So, anyway.
Jen isn't going this year, so me and two others have taken it upon ourselves to organize the trip to Missouri for the the Kansas University Anime Club's anime convention held at the Marriott in downtown Kansas City.
We already have a group of more than ten, which means we get the large group discount of late pre-registration - five dollars. Thirty-five is the price for pre-registration so...do the math...it's 30 now.
Not bad, you say. I know.
The real problem we have is hotel and travel issues.
The hotel is most likely filling up fast - which means I need a set number of people going so we know how many rooms to book. Sometime before Christmas would be wonderful, since if we book a room after January 10th, the cost shoots up from 104/night to 255/night.
We also have a lot of people going, and if teleportation was possible, I wouldn't be so worried sick about not having enough people driving.
We can't bum rides forever, people. Yeesh.
I ALREADY HAVE MY CAR GROUP PLANNED OUT, SO NO, YOU MAY NOT RIDE WITH ME. Stop. Asking.

You must be nearby. I live in Wamego, Kansas...so if you're within a half an hour of there, you're good. You are responsible for contacting me somehow so I can give you the group registration form (I can also tell you where to print it on their site). Or...you know...at least telling me all the information I need for the registration form so I can fill one out for you.
I will need the money for the ticket before New Year's. If you don't have it, you don't go. No exceptions.
I need it before New Year's because I'm sending the registration forms either the second or third day of January, just to be on the safe side.
The total price YOU will need will vary, depending on whether or not the person you're getting a ride from will want gas money.
We're thinking about six people per room, and with 104 a night, it'll split up to about 17...but we're bumping that up to 25 so we can get a roll-out bed. Nobody likes sleeping on the floor.
With ticket...that's 55 dollars. For me. Remember..gas money. Ride. You might need more.
Rules:
You absolutely must follow the rules that the convention staff have set:

If you somehow prove to us that you can't follow those rules, you'll get to have a jolly good time being babysitted by my big scary dad in the hotel room.
1. Unless it is an official room party, you may not enter the hotel rooms of people outside of our group.
2. You may not leave the hotel without clearing it up with one of the adults going on the trip. You must also tell them where you are going, and when you'll be back. You must have somebody from our group accompany you.
3. No, you may not attempt to keep everyone in your room awake all night. Be courteous enough to let them sleep if they're tired.
4. If the convention closes at a certain time, you must be in YOUR hotel room at that time.
5. I know it's hard, especially at cons, but please don't get too comfortable with complete strangers. Kansas City is a big place.
6. Always have someone else in the group with you at all times. It's dangerous to wander off on your own.
REMEMBER TO EMAIL ME AS SOON AS YOU CAN

Anybody after Christmas who didn't contact me...well, you're on your own kiddo.
