Cheap

I’m gearing up for a conference next week in New York.

I got a cheap flight (American Airlines, about $175 round trip, non-stop both ways) and a cheap room ($150 total for two nights at the Vanderbilt YMCA, private room) and as for the conference itself, it’s free — no registration fee.

I can’t help myself. I’m a penny-pinching bastard, even when I’m spending the university’s pennies.
