Hm. Not a bad idea to get one set aside right now...
I should probably get my tickets for the train while I'm at it as well. On that note - should we travel as a group again for next year - furries on a train, and all?

I haven't decided if I'm going or not yet for several reasons. 1) I HATE driving in the middle of PA. 2) I don't have anyone who would actually go with me and not complain the whole time. 3) did I mention that I hate driving across the middle of PA? 4) I primarily do conventions for costuming... but I don't fursuit as i don't enjoy being all hot/sweaty/smelly/etc. so I'm not sure that I could find enough stuff to keep me occupied. 5) It is less than a month before Otakon.

Well there's always the option of what we did in '06 -
TRAIN!!!!!
As a sort of joint effort, four of us (Chibi, Sontock, Sunshadow, and myself) all took a train up to Pittsburgh - The Amtrak! No driving, no traffic accidents, a couple other furs for company, and there was even a food car. Though it was kinda expensive, it limited your luggage to what you could carry, the tickets ran somewhere between $60-80$ (not sure if that was round trip cost or not - I'll have to check), you had to walk a block or two after leaving the station, and it was a seven hour train....
But having actual room to stand and move around it is much better than being cramped in a car. Especially when you have to be the one behind the wheel.
As for not being interested for other reasons... well...Hm. There's admiring other people's costumes, buying random furry stuff, finding people to talk to, and there's always panels. Not quite as many Otakon (thankfully), but still.
It is a matter of preference. But I'm still planning a trip by train. And that sort of thing is more fun with other people.

Hm. I seem to be alone on the whole train idea... that takes the fun out of it. Maybe I'll just call a cab.
Failing that, I know people in PA who have cars. I'll be there one way or another.
Especially since it'd be about the only chance to meet some of you people at this rate...

Well, no, not a cab. I've riden in them, the rates are dismembering. i.e., arm and leg. But it meant more as a joke, anyway...
Point being, I think the train ride up this year will be scrapped. So I'll have to start inactively looking for a ride at some point.

aegis, jess and i might be able to take you up! we live right by each other anyway. as long as you want to leave on the 5th, late morning/afternoon-ish, you're more than welcome to hitch a ride.
