Yeah the guy who stayed with us from the UK in January for the HWM show dropped like $200 at Hyde & Zeke's which we thought was kind of insane, but then I thought about the conversion. Not bad. As long as he got his vinyl home in one piece.

He was also nice enough to buy a steak dinner and give us two tickets to the Orlando show, in exchange for the ride from Gville to Orlando. Pretty sweet deal for all parties.

Mose G tours on vegetable oil, so, to get to the Fest from Philly via Portland, ME, my grand total travel expense comes up to about $0. nice.

$69. no big deal.

I haven't been to Hyde & Zeke in YEARS. I always have trouble finding the new location, and the last time I looked for it, I searched so thouroughly that I thought maybe it had finally given up the ghost.

I wish they were still on Univesrity Ave, or SOMEWHERE more centrally located.

maybe we can count on an October Surprise.

My flights are £620. So about $1200.

Crikey.

Fuck- are you flying business class Kate? I'm yet to look around for prices, hopefully something around £300- £350 will come up.. we might go via New York and get an internal flight down this time rather than spend 6 hours somewhere like Charlotte or Philadelphia airport

????????????????? Where the fuck are you buying your flights from?? You going via Australia or something!!?

You gonna hang out in New York for a bit first? That seems to be the plan for a few of us on here anyway.

-round trip plane tickets from San Francisco to Jacksonville = $210 (we bought them REALLY early)
-12 passenger van for 4 days = $480 (or something like that, but split 12 ways)
-4 nights in 2 rooms at the Holiday Inn = $probably a lot, but will be worth it$ (but split 12 ways)
-all the beer and pizza and sparks i gotta buy = $probably a lot, but will be worth it$
-then prob an extra $50-$100 on band merch/random shit.


shit is gonna RULE.

about £300 - £350 on a return flight to orlando if i don't go to any pre-fest stuff, but if i do then meh, a lot i guess! definitely up for stayin at the holiday inn. and definitely wanna buy a lott of cds.

its gonna cost shitloads but be worth every penny (or should i say cent)

I almost feel like I'm obligated to buy beer n pizza for all you people flying from overseas, just so everyone evens out on money spent

and i thought i had it bad, i'll say 400 by car...same by plane..road trip from neuvo mexico anyone.


and any couch surfers out there.
near the venues

Carpooling is the best way to go. Last year I drove down with three other people and I probably paid $100 in gas both ways if that. Prices are up since then, but this year I plan to pool with more people, so it shouldn't be that bad. I do have to take a train down to NJ to even catch my ride though. Not sure how much it'll be, but it's a train so it can't too much.
