To start: hotel rooms went from $55/night to $150/night.

I think you are confusing ZCON with Branson Z Fest. My experience is that ZCON is premium priced and Branson Z Fest is bargain basement priced.
Two totally different events run by totally different people.
There is not a Branson Z Fest this year.

It's my understanding the events are somewhat "combined" this year since ZCON is in Branson.

Yes, they are combined. ZCON Branson is being hosted by Ozarks Z Club based in Springfield, MO. under the watchful eye of Z Car Clubs of America and Chris Karl.
Re. hotel prices, I have read that some are staying at the usual Branson Z Fest hotel.
Personally, I am staying off property.
BTW, both of the car shows will be indoors at the Branson Convention Center which adjoins the Hilton Hotel.

It's what they did to z-nationals this year....prices were atrocious. Seems anything that 'car clubs' get their fingers in get fuct up beyond recognition. I think I'll just take the year off and let zcon do their thing....and hopefully next year it'll be back to normal.

AZCC president volunteered us to help out some at Zcon, and asked for volunteers. I said "I volunteer to be the recovery vehicle in the X". He thought I was joking around and got all mad, it's a guarantee someone is gonna break down and need a tow & winch onto a trailer though!

Happens every year....my car left BZF08 on a trailer, Steve's got it @ BZF10.....its inevitable.....but yea...I just never got into the car club thing....it always ends up being some kind of dick swinging power struggle of who's the 'alpha', who's 'playing favorites' with shows, and so on....I just prefer to be the rogue and enjoy....
