It would appear that Philadelphia is approximately 300 miles, or a five-hour drive, away from Pittsburgh. That might be a bit far for you to commute each day.

Take it from me: it's a VERY long drive!

What if you were to meet up with your relatives in Philadelphia, and all of you together get a room at the Westin and make Anthrocon a family outing?

Hey, as long as you tell them where you're going, whatever works for you...

We've had folks get into massive arguments with their parents before when they tried to hide their travel plans, and many of them were forcibly kept home. The safety issues are also greater when you're under 18 and your parents don't know how to reach you, so personally, i don't recommend it.

Good plan. Rainfurrest sounds like a great way to test the waters for anthrocon.

As for the parental stuff...well, i just had to say it, seeing as it's come up again fairly recently. *wrygrin*
