I live in Florida and will be travelling by car.
Of course, I'll be doing that a month early and won't be coming back, but those are just the sacrifices I'll have to make.

In terms of distance, I'll be coming from New York City.
In terms of how far I'll go to pay for it, I'll go to the ends of the earth. Last night I offered to clean the house/apartment of no less than three Paizo employees in order to sleep on their floors/couches and all three declined. James said it was too messy and that I'd never be able to actually clean it, Erik said it was tempting but too creepy, and Vic said to stick with paypal. But that obviously isn't working because everyone who reads that thread has a heart of solid Abyssal basalt. 53rd & 3rd is starting to look appealing.

I'm here...
If i manage to get the money together...i'll be travelling from london.
Hey Ross, do you have a job up here in Seattle? :)

Whatever might make you think that?

Fray,
Where are you coming from? I'm strongly considering figuring out what I need to do in order to make the trip with my gf, and carpooling would make that much more feasable(thinking about trying to get some of the rest of my gaming group in too, but thats less likely). I'm down in the San Diego area.

I'm taking a train up from Klamath Falls, Or. Normally I'd drive, but odds are I won't have a dependable enough car at the time, so it's the train for me.
But, not only is a train cost effective, but it's a nice, leisurely way to travel to a gaming convention, I think. You know, use the anachronism of it for some mood.
Plus, the twelve hour ride home will be a nice way to catch up on some of my lost sleep. :D

Geeze I really want to go to this, but the cost is quickly piling up, cheapest flight I found from FL was $250, then the 4 night stay even if I find 3 roomies is going to be $200, then theres getting to the hotel and back to the airport approx. $60, then there's the tickets themselves $35, then that doesn't include food while I'm there at the best we're talking $50-$100s for food. so I'm looking at $600 at a time when I have to buy a new car because I got hit by a truck on my scooter, and I got my hours cut because our business is struggling. and to make it worse of all, it's the day after my friggen birthday so if I don't go I'm gonna be all mopey on my b-day. I don't know if I can make it at this point and I just read that tickets are allready half sold out.
And I'm still going to try and make this work, that's how far I'm willing to go.
I'll be driving from Bishop, California, 4 hours north to Reno, Nevada, then flying in from there. I considered driving to save money, but the flight was only $100 each way. I think gas from the drive would cost as much or more.
Unemployed Mexican
1 usd = 15.5 pesos The most expensive rate EVER
I live in Guadalajara, (halfway in the middle of Mex, approx)
I'm trying to draw my way up to PaizoCon... I have landed a few lucky gigs, but I'm still far from the whole deal, the Visa alone is $100, and of course, I may not get it... ($100 down the drain). So, if you want to help me up there, I'm open for commissions! I'll draw even 4e stuff for you for a bit of cash, or maybe I'll set up a fund raising thread as other already have :P but I heard its not a very good biz...
So, try and best that! :P
I'll probably wake up in my hotel room at the Coast Bellevue and walk downstairs.
Just from Arlington (DFW) Texas, flying ($280 with all taxes and fees).
I'll be flying in from New Orleans, LA.
Dulles Airport (Washington DC) to SeaTac via the friendly skies, just got tickets for myself and my Far Better Half.
A.H.C.!
We just bought tickets from Helsinki. Now to figure out what to do in Seattle area for few days before THE weekend... Are there any interesting ideas floating around (anything else but those jammed major tourist attractions)?
I'll be venturing over from Charlotte, NC. USAir flight = $350 round trip. All in all, it's less expensive to attend PaizoCon than GenCon for me. Go figure.

I will be flying in Friday afternoon from Austin, Tx.
Daigle in Seattle? There goes the planet.

only 1,200 miles for me... almost straight North.you're driving?!?
No way... well, actually just not this time as I do not have enough vacation time. Flying in Fri morning.
Fray,
I'm down in the San Diego area.

I was thinking about driving, but I do not have the time. Plus gas would be over half of a plane ticket and the plane is only 3 hours.
Maybe next year. :)We could grab Sebastian and have a road trip. :)
Hey Rob, Where u staying if u r going to the con? I am talking Amy into letting me come....I am looking to try and share a room.....

Depending on your tastes... Our local weekly alternative newspaper, The Stranger, puts up a list of cool things to do/see every week right here.
That link won't be much use to you until the week of the con, but that is and will be a good place to go and find out what kind of non-gamer stuff is going on in the Seattle area. There are also areas on that website with local restaurant reviews, clubs, art installations, plays, readings, etc. There is always something going on in Seattle.
I would comfortably come from Tempe, but as I am basically not allowed to take vacation from basically April through July (it's our regs cycle), I can't sneak up to Washington for 4 days in June unless you can get an MD to sign off that I was to sick to travel to work. But I might be able to get to GenCon this year if we can finish by August.
Spokane, WA. So either a six hour drive, or a half hour plane ride, depending on which way we decide to travel.
I'd drive all the way from NE Iowa; that is, I would if I had car.
