I know it's early but I am giving some serious thought to attending my 1st ever Con.
Why? Aside from my Joe love and need to purchase massive amounts of parts and vintage accesories---it'll still be cold here, I havent "gone away" in a dogs age..and there are few people here I'd actually like to chill with for a few days. So--my questions are: How much coin do I need? Aside from air fare from NJ. I'm thinking I'll probably spend a few hundred bucks on toys, parts etc--what about admission? Hotel? Will there be Tankers there willing to enjoy some "night life"? hit up the local bar scene, drink and womanize? Aside from buying stuff up...are there any other "activities" we might be doing? What is the average amount spent to have a "good time" at Joe Con?? |

as far as spending the set is now around $300 hotel is usually $130 you might be able to split that with someone so 3 nights at $390. Then add in food what you think you will spend around 80-120 for 3 meals a day for 3 days. airfare would be about $200 if you buy early. plus taxi or shuttle to and from the airport $30-50. and lets say you $300 on the sales floor. that would bring your total to around:
$1340 plus night life money. hope this helps anyone correct me if I'm wrong
