Anyone going to Animazement in Raleigh this weekend? I miraculously have an entire Saturday off work, so I'll probably go all day.

This looks really sick. Wish I could go, but I have to be pool boy over at my parents' place this weekend.

I use to go to Animazement. Majors runs the gameroom there, and it is the best gameroom at any con, period. I use to go to 40-50 cons a year and his is by far the best gameroom.

This may need it's own thread.

I'll throw one up to see if it piques any more interest.

I'm very glad to hear that. Truth be told the main reason I'm going is for the games.

The last time I went was 2012, he only had 20 cabs out. But they had something crazy like 300 PCBS.

I just got some car insurance quotes. For the same car, it gave me about $160/mo for a 2015 lease, and about $221/mo for a 2011 financed. Does that make sense? I thought insurance was more for leases? Not the other way around...

I've always thought that the older the car, the higher the insurance. Not that I really know or anything.

Also, does anyone else think Flo is kinda hot? Not as hot as Fake Wendy, but still workin' it.

So.

The macklemore haircut has become a trend. Even JT is sporting it.

Yeah. I can't pull that one off. Won't even try.

That said, I've had the same haircut for too long. Time to switch it up. Or down. It's just hair after all. It'll grow back.

It better.

Bleh, I might not be able to lease anyway, now that I'm thinking about it. My old job was about 6 miles each way, my new job is 35. So just doing that math, that's 70 round trip, 5 days a week, times 4 weeks, times 12 months, is about 16,800 miles a year. Safe bet at least 18,000 miles a year, since I go other places than work. Most leases allow 12k/yr and something like 15 cents per mile over. That's 6k/yr over, at 15 cents a mile is $900/yr, $2700 for a 3 year lease term.

Of course, IF I leased a car, it would be something that I'd be planning on buying out at the end of the lease anyway (wouldn't have to pay over mileage charges). But then my option would be buy the car out or pay a fine... I liked the idea of being able to get out of the car if need be.

Lots of people think Flo is kinda hot.


edit: Yeah, I just got a quote for financing a 2015 and it was the same for leasing it. I guess the older the car is, the less it's worth, so the higher the insurance is. Makes sense. Whatever, they're all crooks.

I doubt you're going to only out 1200 miles a year outside of going to work. I drive a lot less than most people since I work from home and go to the grocery store that is literally across the street from my apartments. I still put over 300 miles a month on my car and that would be 3600+ miles a year. That would be in the vicinity of 24 detour miles a week you'd allowed yourself.

I find this hard to believe, you must really not go out of the house much. I would literally not leave a 4 mile radius except maybe few times a month, and still put on my car more than that.
