Well atleast that gives me time to come up with the $165….I really need a job.

I don’t need to stay at the hotel because I live close enough. Just like a 45 minute drive and I’ll be 18 and by then, I think I will be done with my finals so I won’t be going to school anyway. It’ll be in the period right before my graduation so I might have to go to school in the morning for like rehersal or yearbooks or something of that nature.

But I’ll see when it comes to then.

So, is the registration price going to go up after October 1st? That would be good to know, for those of us who may not know by then if we’ll have the money to go and might want to buy tickets later. That is, if they aren’t completely sold out by then:(

as much as i would love to go to one of these confrences, they 1. cost too much for college students, and 2. are WAY too far from here (California)

Why not have one over here sometime?
