My experience pretty much parallels Bill, except that he (as well as
many of you) have been able to take a short car hop to the convention.
The Eastern half of the country doesn't know what long distance auto
traveling really is. Yes I know living in Texas is the problem--I moved
here in 74' hoping to get a few years experience and then move on, but I
never earned enough gas money to leave the state--so I guess I'm stuck
here! ha
When I figure the expenses of the convention, the costs for
transportation and the hotel room far exceeds the other costs. A couple
of times we've put three to a room, bought food at a grocery store and
implemented other cost saving measurers, but it seems my total costs
exceed $1000 per year no matter how hard I try. My duties covering the
event for the NASG plus all the great times with my dear friends still
make this a very worthwhile event.
