The European one is still expensive, at least this year. :(

Do you mean the congress itself is too expensive, or that getting there (and staying there) is too expensive?

The getting there and staying there, sorry for not making it clear. :-?

The prices for the congress itself seems normal.

Edit: And this is my subjective opinion. What I mean by the above is that it seems too expensive for me.

huh, compared to last year, a bit expensive. But compared to US one, way much better. And it's two weeks.

For the first time in over a decade I'll be giving the (US) congress a miss. I balked after seeing the price for this year's congress and decided to visit a friend's cottage in New Brunswick instead.

Yes!! Got the time off from work and it's a Father's Day gift from the wife. As a beginner what have I gotten myself into?

I can't afford the ridiculous price of congress. Closest it will ever be to me, though. I'm in pueblo. It's a real shame.

I am going - and I'll be looking for as many self-paired games as I can get.

So, if there is anyone else in the same boat - feel free to PM me.

(Since last year's go congress I have managed ZERO AGA rated games. I appear to be the only person from Nevada with an AGA rated game more recent than 2007. Ugh.)

I would like to go but the whole cost of the rooms is what killed my visit possibilities.

Have you considered that if you drive to and from the congress each day, and if you pack a sack lunch, then the total cost is $325 (plus gas)?

And that's exactly what I'll be doing. I'll have the cooler stuffed with snacks, sandwiches, and sodas to get me through the day.

Which I don't have either. Or a ride back and forth everyday. Plus, I don't even know where I'd stay.

I'm open to suggestions though. I'm offering to volunteer for Congress, which takes care of the registration, if I can work that out. I can probably get a ride there. If not, I think there are some people passing through new mexico or something. Maybe I can check that out. But I don't know if anyone would be willing to let me stay with them for however many nights.

I am sorry to hear it. At least the 2011 US Go Congress will still be in the neighborhood.
