big maybe for me, just have to see if we can actually save up enough money for it
Yeah BLFC is a costly con, I'm up to $770 in cost so far.
But that's including a $230 pelican case for my suit+other luggage, which while purchased originally for this con, will be used for a lot more than that
$350 flight
$90 for sponsor reg
$100 for hotel, and still expecting to pay more, because I'll be moving between 2 or 3 rooms throughout the con and I've only paid for my share of one of them.
And I still have to account for food/drinks, maybe dealer's den purchases, and things like transportation (or parking) to/from MSP.
I wouldn't be surprised if BLFC hits $1k total cost (if you count the pelican case) for me after everything is said and done.
So I've saved my badge from every con (plus a few local events) I've been to.
Just hung them on my wall
There's actually three additional badges hidden there, regular attendee badges behind staff badges, because sometimes cons give you both
