    I looked up the cost, and It's about $500 for the round trip:

    And remember, when we give Chris money in his desperate financial situation, he uses it to pay the taxes like a responsible adult, NOT FOR LEGOS!!1!

    Would it be cheaper to fly?

    Also it takes a special brand of ego -- or utter lack of social awareness -- to ask an MLP voice actress for gas money to attend some kind of MLP convention.

    I do hope that there will be a response to this. (i.e. a dashing of hope with a negative reply.)

    A normal person would look at going to a similar convention closer to home but no.

    Remember when Chris wanted Nintendo to give him money for a trip to Redmond, Washington? He doesn't change.
    It costs a little more than $200 to take a train trip across the country, although it's a sight seeing tour so you might be able to traverse the country by train cheaper.

    I doubt Chris would last long on a train, before being kicked off for doing something stupid.

    Chris wants to go to a convention where the presence of a potential sweetheart My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic voice actress is guaranteed "basically promised."

    Chris's greatest adventure was driving all the way to Cleveland, OH. Do you think he even knows that CA is at least 5X that distance?

    Maybe Chris heard Cole moved away to California and Chris is now trying to make his great escape away from Barb?

    God forbid he attempts to convince the people in charge to relocate the entire manchild convention to Ruckersville.

    no people train goes from VA to CA, though Greyhound does for less than $200, (s)he'd fit in on a Greyhound bus

    what about a Greyhound bus?

    about the same to fly

    I think Virginia deserves a break from Chris. Let's all chip in $10 to get Chris a one-way ticket to Los Angeles. Since Chris is a clever man, he can figure his own way home... or sneak into Tara Strong's front yard, then tazered by security (because Tara Strong is a national treasure and DON'T RUIN THE NARRATIVE REEEE), and then the rest of Chris' life plays out like Oz, where he has to suck off JK Simmons for protection, but everntually becomes Wolverine and befriends a magical black man with a velcro hat and....

    ...and it's been a while since I last watched Oz. What were we talking about?

    Oh, right.

    No, Chris.

    Scenario 1:
    Chris doesn't get the money. He whines on FB that he really really wanted to go to the brony con for a while and claims he has a lot of stress.
    Scenario 2:
    Chris gets the money and goes on that trip... then gets banned for being his autistic self around lots of women in cosplay, and potentially at con-guests. We get new content, and chris inevitably gets Babscon added to his list of places he's been banned from, and maybe even more court proceedings. Although chris will claim he was the victim.
    Scenario 3:
    Chris gets lost along the way and misses the con. Money wasted, time wasted, and we get the saltiest chris since the election.

    Having worked at a convention, I can assure you that chris would only do his job for an hour, get bored, then wander off to pester con-goers. It takes more effort than you think, and something is always going wrong.

    although, I do wonder what Barb will do without him should he go.

    I'm sure he'll demand first class tickets on a direct flight, he needs a weeklong Greyhound bus ride
