My wife went with me to the 2005 convention. She was bored out of her mind. We did other things during that trip, but when it was geek time for me, it was bordem for her. She said she was never going again. That works out best because I don't have to worry about her not being bored nor do I have to spend the extra money. And she gets a break from me.
I highly recommend staying at the convention hotel. You might be able to get something cheaper but it might not be worth it. I had friends so that at one of them and it sucked. It was a pretty long walk back to their hotel, espessially with convention swag in hand. The hotel was bad with a lot of hot rooms because of bad A/C units. The convienence of having your room close is worth it. Cut down on costs by splitting the room with others instead if you can.
completely co-sign.
I have shared rooms since going to the 06 con, and with three friends the whole weekend usually works out to 175 for the hotel, rathar than 175 a night. Plus since everyone is there, you can split "hanging out" time with your joecustoms friends, or branch out an make new friends from other sites. (usually at the bar, EVERYONE is a friend!)
