Chicago? Pittsburgh? Hmmmm. ::whimper::

[foxmonkey]

Oy. Chicago's the mecca of the tour for us midwest LJ-ers, it seems. But here's the thing. I need a new roof. Pittsburgh is closer and cheaper. WAAAAAH! For once, though, time off work won't be a problem. Told the boss lady on Monday that I want time off sometime in early May. So yay! That's cool. We even chatted about how nice it is to meet up with friends. ;-) So.

What I need to do is put the costs down side by side and then make a decision. Yes. Here goes.

Chicago:

show date: May 07, 2004
bus, round trip, cost: $78.00
bus, round trip, time: 19h, 50 min. (To Chicago - 11h, 25min. Back home - 8h, 25min)

HOB hotel Gov't Rate: $155.00 United States Dollars (Daily per room), Total Rate: 310.00 United States Dollars (what the hell "government rate"?)
Chicago-Mart hotel: $128.00 (Rate Type: 21 DAY ADV PURCHASE)


Pittsburgh:

bus, round trip, cost: $48.00
bus, round trip, time: 8h, 55 min. (To Pittsburgh: 4h, 40min. Back home: 4h, 15min)

Come to Chicago! I want to meet you!

Of course, with my luck, that'll be the weekend I'm out of town. But if it's not, and the hotel costs are prohibitive, you're very welcome to camp out in my living room. My apartment's about a fifteen minute walk to the HOB, so it works out well. *g*

Dude. DUDE. If you're serious, I'm very, very tempted to take you up on that offer. That'd knock $250.00-$300.00 off the trip. Dude. DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!! Okay, I think I'm excited. :-)

Are you going to the show?

I have never been more serious in my LIFE. ;)

Seriously, though. My apartment's big enough, and I wouldn't mind at all - I'd love to meet you. I just have to confirm the date of a trip I'm planning on taking to make sure that it isn't on May 7th. If it isn't, then I'm definitely going to the show. I can find out in the next few days, I think, and tell you. So, yes. Come to Chicago!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This sounds good! I'll wait until you've confirmed your dates and stuff. Eeee! I can go ahead and buy the show ticket - I can sell it if something comes up. Whee! Yes, let me know. And thank you! This should be fun.
