sho convention 2011

[Mr Anonymous]

Figure about $500 for hotel, $300 for registration and most events, and like $40 a day for food and other extra stuff, and you should be good. Realistically, you will probably spend less. Of course, you can get away spending much less, but I recommend participating in the events and eating at the restaurants. Oh, don't forget gas.

Like has been said for years, put about $20 a week in a shoebox, and you'll have most of the money you need.

That's the best advice right there.

I've been to 6 straight conventions, and on average they've run about $1000-$1200 each. Not a bad price for a week of fun, drunkenness and Canoodian ******...

Mr. A is pretty right on with the $1000-1200 figure. My brother and I split costs. I had a hair over $600 on my credit card from the convention. I paid the hotel, 1/2 the gas, bought some of my own food, (and bought my booze) and a couple of small souvenirs at Ford. My brother paid the $300 convention fee, 1/2 of the gas, his food and some of mine. I think he spent about another 500-600....so that's a correct figure. It's worth every damn penny.

$25 a week = $1300, don't forget bail.

I Asked the same and also got no reponse.

Is there exact dates set yet for the 2011 convention?

 

[SinisterSHO]

no exact dates yet, but usually mid july

 

[SHO1]

Exact dates are normally announced mid-winter, by end of Dec/very early Jan at the latest.

shit I'm 27

getting ****** old!

almost 30, shit is a real wake up call when you turn 27

man last "long" drive I did was from west palm to st augustine, and I think I even stopped for something to eat in Ft. Pierce area. Shit wore me out.

I certainly couldn't do the 120 hour work weeks I did when I was 23, but I could still rock out 1000 mile drives in back to back to back days without a problem at 37...
