No kidding, all jokes aside, I may make a bonzai run to New York so I can -

gamble, drink, meet Hooves, Oracle, Kasept, Gander, T3sometimes4ofB, BTW, Scavs, shoot I don't know how to list them all

I figure I can make this happen for a minimium of $1,500 to $2,000

Budget as I see it now

Leavng on a Weds after work, coming back on Sunday and Monday

$250 rental car (cause my beast is questionable at best making the trip) plus I don't like to fly

$350 Hotel expense

$200 Food and beverage, may need to bump that to $300
yeah, bump that to $300 at least

$200 for gas, other "stuff

balance - major league throwdown at Toga

Seriously trying to plan on this

Depending on where you would like to stay you have better bump up your hotel budget. If you want to stay downtown close to the track you are looking at anywhere from $250 to $350 a night. You could look around in the surronding areas - Clifton Park, Ballston Spa, Glenns Falls or Queensbury and Albany and you would get a decent rate also there are few Super 8's and other economy hotels in the surronding area. Book early I wouldn't wait past March to insure your getting a good room at a good price.
But it's soo well worth it no matter what you end up paying.
