So how many beds are we getting for our VIP suite? I can only assume that there won't be enough room for 10 people?

Was looking at getting something like this for this sort of thing and motocamping and shit

but I don't want to blow 230 on it. Anyone know of anything that is comparable?
Or maybe an inflatable mattress or something?
karrde I know you brought something last year.
I don't feel like sleeping on shitty couch again.

Cot General?

[k0ala]

Cot is best for sleeping outdoors to keep the bugs off. Indoors, you can get away with one of the blue foam 'sleeping pads' underneath  a warm-weather sleeping bag. Those start being good at $30 and up.

Well I could use a new sleeping bag as well so I might be checking that out. I just can't seem to get to sleep laying on my back so I need to lay on something a little less hard than the ground. Foam pad might be enough for me.

check out Cabelas. They have sleeping bags there for a decent enough price

We have a gander mountain 20 minutes from here that I was going to go check out sometime. I wish there were more reviews on cabelas site though.

[/quote]REI is also a solid place to go.

So after pretty much the entire afternoon of researching and reading reviews, I went ahead and ordered the ALPS Mountaineering Comfort Series Air Pad and the Thermarest Compressible Pillow. Had some amazon rewards points to burn so I didn't really pay much for all this. I can always combine this with a sleeping back and a cot (and obviously a tent) to have a pretty nice outdoor setup as well.
I opted to not purchase a sleeping bag right now because I already have a cheapo one from when I was a kid that I can use as a blanket/pad. I might be interested in investing in a nicer bag at sometime, as I have a slight interest in motocamping.

Badges are here. I wonder if that code is important and shouldn't be posted or shared.

[Versus]

stealing your identities now

[kaese]

Acen doesn't want them posted because people make fake badges. Im going to post mine anyways.

[HeK]

The QR code brings up a link to the Acen website, likely your account details.

No idea what the text string is.

[Versus]

when are they going to hire someone to do the graphics instead of stealing someone's deviantart

[Evil Cheese]

Still waiting on mine.

My wife and I got ours!  She's already stuffed hers into a fancy badge thingy she got at Otakon.
