Yeah, that'd be fine. Even if you're not staying, however, I'd still like some contribution towards the room if you're going to be here.

your kidding right? It's kinda wrong to charge people just to visit you guys.

if I move to london ontario and get my passport... It wouldnt be far a trip at all if I get reddy next year. well compared to the west coast where I am right now.

ok time frame wise.. I could totaly make it if i could get a passport. my luck at that sorta thing could change out east. I know more important people there...

Imagine that. I'd have to get right interesting on the ride down...

Like Triton said, it's not so bad if it's an hour or something, I'd turn a blind eye to that, but the hotel room costs a good amount of money, and I don't want a bazillion people in there if only a select few are going to actually pay for it. Of course, I'm not going to charge the full rate if only visiting for a while. But, like I said, it costs money to have the place.

@cennar: If you're Hey, guys! See how I used the right form of you're? driving, rather than flying, you can still cross the border with a birth certificate and ID, I think. I know US citizens can until June. What are you going to London for, though? I'd much rather stay in the Vancouver area, not much in that part of Ontario.

I'll do what I did last year; chip in for chilling in the suite, but I've got my own room for sleeping. Seeing the way this is turning out; it seems like there's gonna be a lot more people this year than last

I'm going to try to attend this year (I don't know why I keep mentioning it) but if anyone could help me get there, I live in Churubusco, IN which is near Fort Wayne, IN and about an hour drive from the Michigan border.

Thanks!

@cowsgoquack101, you might be in luck. I'm taking the southern route this year. Taking I-94 all the way around. If you can keep me from going too far, and are willing to chip in for gas I could pick you up.

I might be bringing ChronoTriggerfan with me... if he's still alive. So be prepared for a bit of a full car. It' might be a Crown Vic, but I'm not having everything in the trunk.... namely my laptop, as it might be my GPS nav system.

SpongeBuell I'm coming. I'll having the money to splurge on Sunday.

I'm coming along with John for sure. Do you want the money PayPal'd now, or at the event?

I am 90% sure that I am coming this year, as it seems my newest project will be upon completion around then. I live in Richland Center, so it is about 2.5 hrs away. Very excited about the Benheck experience thing, even though I see Ben most weekends, but nonetheless, I will finally get to meet more of you guys!

Cool! Yeah I'm more than capable of chipping in for gas.

I'm moving because well the olimpics is making it real hard to find a school i can get into. theres lots of waiting lists and rents insane. I am getting into the clothing busnes. theres allot of difrent things I can do wile I'm here but if I can I would be better off making the trip east for 6months and aply for whats out where. That way I can studdy at bouth the best art schools in Canada. then come back out west to see about more school or work. I'm not ruling out trips to Montreal for work ether. some of the better digital schools are in vancouver and some are in monteral. I want to have realy good grounds in life drawing and do more of my own studdys first. I need to learn how to survive on my art so I can make better cartoons. One day:D or I'll stress out and what have you.

Sponge, you can mark me down for attending. If you get back to Facebook before I lose consciousness, you will already know to do this.

Done.

Will those planning on attending please make sure you are on the list on the first post of this thread? I need to make sure that I didn't miss anything, especially since half you people didn't even PM me. *ahem*
