Operation: Get Z to A-Kon

Right now, we're looking at ~$600 or so for the hotel room (as we'll be staying through Sunday and leaving Monday morning), and $117 for the art table and our badges. Getting the latter shouldn't be too difficult. The former, though... the hotel room won't be cheap, and if we get it through Expedia (as we have in the past), we have to pay it all up front.

So far, we're looking at about $200 or so back in taxes (due to how my company's outsourced HR department handles pre-tax deductions, we're not getting nearly as much back), and we're selling off extra manga and such. That gets us up to... maybe $300 or so, if we do well.

Uphill challenge, but I think we can do it.
