I hope I am able to get the new Marine outfit set up before the event because I would like to participate. I'm not up for getting a room for it since I'll be more likely doing a normal bivouac just outside the location.

There are trees in the area. Maybe you could get a permit to build a treehouse?

Hmmn. You lot have been watching too much 'Walking Dead', me thinks.

Goal's A. through G. have been scientifically proven to be impossible to achieve!

"I plan to live forever.........or die trying!"

Well, I don't know where you get your science... but let's break it down:

a. This could be achieved in the wee hours of the morning. But once high noon strikes, your odds significantly decrease with each passing minute.
b. Because of the time difference, this fella's already at tea time at 10 in the morning... drinkin' time starts shortly after.
c. This is a tough one. I think I've seen only one photo ever that didn't feature his pearly whites.
d. Wait until he slips into his Dress Blues or his Admiral's uniform.
e. Catch me doing my Benny Hill impression... best moment.
f. Look for a sock on his doorknob.
g. Highly probable in the morning before the parade and then at the dinner.

I've never been to the DragonCon. I hope to build the pulse rifle, dye the urban BDU outfit, and gather up the armor before the event. Plus, I'll need to get flight tickets and con passes.

Just get me a sleeping system and a field shelter, and I'm ready to roll for the night.

im just curious on how much you guys spend on hotels for your time there.

if someone would like to give me a figure I might have a more unique and less costly option.

That depends on a few factors;

Willing to share a room?
Want to stay in one of the event hotels?
Or stay in one of the outer hotels?

Okay, well Atlanta is a large urban area, with (afaik) no camping areas within the city limits, so you'll have to travel a fair distance every day, which I don't recommend, as the nightlife in the hotels is what D*Con is all about, then crashing in your hotel bed for a few hours before starting all over again.

Plus I don't drive, so I might need to hitch a ride from someone out of state that's also going to the con.

The best option for you (imho) is to watch what others are doing travel-wise to see who's route passes nearest to you (you don't say which state you're in ), also sharing a room at one of the hotels, as that's definitely the best thing to do.

I can give it a shot.

I'll buy you a beer when we meet.

Thanks, but I don't drink. Sorry.

Peppler, post which state you are in so you can gauge if anyone is coming through your area.

Hotels are the only real option for the convention....either that or sleeping in your car and I don't recommend that....all though Richie did one year.

I mostly don't drink either. Mostly.

I'll buy you whatever beverage you want then.

Okay, so, best bet is if any Californians are heading east. Not sure how many we have there, so hopefully they'll speak up.

That's one thing that should go on when CMs meet up before the con: They should have something on that symbolizes that they are of the group. I would do so if it was up to me.

Trust me, you'll tell the Marines from the riff-raff.

So Rob, Silver Anniversary Colonial Marine dinner?

You can say that again..

I'm just concerned of going to this because of the time I need to get the armor. Plus budget issues.
