[LAFF] Looking to get to Anthrocon cheaply?

[Jess-Jess]

O_O

Ohhhh... I so want to go to Anthrocon. I'd just have to make sure I was
back in time for my classes. That may mean I'd have to leave out early on
the 8th. >.>;;

Thanks for this information~
If anyone else is planning on going this route, you should let me know. I
might like to carpool. Also I'm going to try to see if I can't talk my
boyfriend into coming. We'll both have just moved into our new apartment
though so.... I dunno.

*flails* oh.... now I really want to go.... T__T

      I just came across this and I thought folks would be
      interested: Megabus,
      the recently-arrived discount express bus company, runs a
      route from
      Chicago to Pittsburgh, with stops in Toledo and Cleveland.
      They pick up
      from in front of Union Station in downtown Chicago, and in
      Pittsburgh,
      they drop off at the corner of 10th Street and Penn Avenue,
      right in front
      of the Westin Convention Center - Anthrocon's hotel.

      The downside is that it looks like you can't book seats for
      more than 45
      days out (mid-June, right now). The upside is the price:
      Right now, a
      round-trip fare is $30.00 if you leave in the mornings; if
      you don't mind
      leaving at around midnight, it's a $9.00 round trip. It looks
      like they're
      calling it an 11-hour trip, which isn't bad considering it's
      a 7-8 hour
      trip by car (and the bus fare is cheaper than the gas for the
      car!).
