Do you mean the congress itself is too expensive, or that getting there (and staying there) is too expensive?Phelan wrote:The European one is still expensive, at least this year.

Re: 2010 Congress: Are you going?
The getting there and staying there, sorry for not making it clear. 
The prices for the congress itself seems normal.
Edit: And this is my subjective opinion. What I mean by the above is that it seems too expensive for me.

Re: 2010 Congress: Are you going?
huh, compared to last year, a bit expensive. But compared to US one, way much better. And it's two weeks.Phelan wrote:The European one is still expensive, at least this year.

Re: 2010 Congress: Are you going?
For the first time in over a decade I'll be giving the (US) congress a miss. I balked after seeing the price for this year's congress and decided to visit a friend's cottage in New Brunswick instead.

I'm planning on attending this year.

Yes!! Got the time off from work and it's a Father's Day gift from the wife. As a beginner what have I gotten myself into?

I can't afford the ridiculous price of congress. Closest it will ever be to me, though. I'm in pueblo. It's a real shame.

Re: 2010 Congress: Are you going?
I am going - and I'll be looking for as many self-paired games as I can get.
So, if there is anyone else in the same boat - feel free to PM me.
(Since last year's go congress I have managed ZERO AGA rated games. I appear to be the only person from Nevada with an AGA rated game more recent than 2007. Ugh.)

I would like to go but the whole cost of the rooms is what killed my visit possibilities.

Re: 2010 Congress: Are you going?
Have you considered that if you drive to and from the congress each day, and if you pack a sack lunch, then the total cost is $325 (plus gas)?Nakamura wrote:I can't afford the ridiculous price of congress. Closest it will ever be to me, though. I'm in pueblo. It's a real shame.
