dragoncon_lj_archiveDoes anyone have a year-long-ish budget schedule or anything that they do for DragonCon?
Seems like I end up paying for the entire damn thing in the summer, which gave me problems this year with being unemployed all year, of course. Not to mention that when the hotels went up for booking, they ALL started requiring a deposit, so we had to scramble to ask someone -anyone- with available space on a credit card.
Tickets right now are only $60. I'm trying to talk a friend who hasn't gone for like three years into going again, and he really wants to, but he may be switching to part time- so budgeting and paying for things in small chunks over the months would be AMAZING.
Just wondering if someone has worked this out already, and can toss me some pointers? Thanks!

Dragon Con's my one big expenditure of the year, and even chronically underemployed as I am, I still manage it.
