Galacticon
Current fares to Chattanooga for Galacticon in March are around $250. That's over the vague threshold I had set in my mind, but it's an awfully long drive so maybe I'll do it anyway. I wish I knew whether that's a good price that I should lock in or a norml price that I can ignore for a while. I'll probably assume the latter.
Adding in the desire to be there (and, specifically, to have checked into the hotel) before sunset Friday may push this, though. That's before the change to DST, and while I haven't been able to find out when local sunset is that day, in Pittsburgh it'll be around 6:15.
Besides, On the Mark is the music GoH; at least *one* of us should be available for Friday-evening activities. And if I fly, I can also be available until Sunday afternoon, whereas the car would need to leave in the morning to get back at a civilized hour.
