I answered too quick on that last post, but to Jerry, you might want to
find
out if game judges would get a discount.

I think there are plenty on the list who could afford to go. There are
plenty
that have gone to GenCon. If you're flying somewhere and staying at a
hotel,
the entrance fee is a small chunk of the overall cost. 

That having been said, I probably won't go to it. I didn't much enjoy
myself
in Winnipeg, but that Worldcon was one of the worst ever. It was a
thought,
though. It would be cool to run some events there, if you could get in
for
free (or cheap), any way.
