Remember the "Good Old Days" - when GenCon Hotels did not cost over $2000 for the convention?  I do.  And every year I look at the pricing and think to myself, "one of these years, this is going to be the point where I decide it is not worth it to attend".  That time is getting ever closer.  I manage to make do every year by finding ways to get reimbursed by various companies, or split the hotel room multiple ways, or both.  But honestly, the justification is getting harder to pull off, and the number of places I'd rather visit gets higher.

Sigh.
