Well, I think our schedule provided about 30 hours of gaming, so if the
price was a buck an hour, total cost for the weekend would be $30. I did
suggest we have a "bulk" discount (like $25 for the whole weekend). If
the store owner really is providing free pizza, that will really help
the budget conscious.

At some point in the next couple months, I'm going to do another session
of cutter building. With the other ships I have built, I think I can
supply a pretty good game, and I can still build some more. I also
suspect a few folks will be able to bring a few more ships. My fleet is
not that far off from Steve's (and I don't even have everything built).
