Well considering I live about a 4 hour drive away it was just gas ($120+), Lift Ticket ($160 for three days), and food (about $20 for the weekend since I ate thrifty). So about three hundred bucks total.

How do you all recommend learning how to build a bike? I am going to build a road bike, something like a 10-12 speed, in the fall. I have never done this, just basic bike stuff like brakes. My main concern is picking the right frame so I have a good parts selection. It will be a cheap frame that I paint and buy new components for. Any good websites with tutorials?

Building up a bike is easier than a suspension swap. So if you can do a brake job and/or a suspension swap you got all the skills necessary for a bike build up.
Some things to consider...
Budget
Overall theme of the build - road, TT, fixie or MTB HT or MTB FS
Frame - Carbon, Ti, AL or classic steel
Groupset and integration to your frameset - BB and headset considerations
I built up my 08 R3 over the course of about 6 months acquiring parts off CL and ebay and am in it for about 35 cents on the dollar of actual selling retail price. Time, effort and willingness to do some work can yield you a killer build.
IMO ... its way better to go this route than some lame .com purchase. Akin to buying a 325e off the dealer floor or building your own S50 5 lug with coilovers. The choice is all yours.

Here's the first shot of my DHX RC2 coil upgrade for my Enduro. I haven't ridden on the trail yet but I love how it feels so far!
