I would point out that at 20$/night for a room translates out to 80$ for the hotel- the cost if he stayed in my room. Thats 20$ more than a rental car, but a much more comfortable trip up here and back, and it would allow someone to go who might not otherwise.
I was planning on footing the bill for the rental car anyways (because it would primarily happen because of my friend), so it would be reasonable to have him just pay the difference for the room (20$) while at worldcon. Having a total hotel bill of 20$ is not to bad for a scenario like this.
Also-
The things they have scheduled are just incredible. Some of the authors at worldcon are going the only con they do all year.
The sheer list of avalable panels to sit in on is incredible, with subjects ranging from building matiriels of the future to Hard fantasy to "Buffy the masters thiesis" and all thats in between.
Who can ignore insane and bizzare "The Dungeonmaster", where the audience is actually part of the set, and the actors are monsters?
This is really a once in a lifetime opportunity. Don't think that the next worldcon will be even close to this one. They are each incredibe unique opportunities.
In short, go.
