Merged Dragon*Con 2011 - Roll Call, Forum Badges, and Other Stuff

[Wowbagger]

September 2 to 5th, 2011, in Atlanta Georgia

It's the Mardi Gras of Geekdom!

So, who's going?

Forum Badges

If you add your name to the table, I will assume, by default, that you will want me to make a Forum Badge for you, that can be attached to your official Dragon*Con badge. If, for some reason, you do NOT want a badge, please let me know. (Of course, you don't have to wear it, even if I do make one.)

The badge will have your avatar and forum name on it, along with the words "JREF Internet Forum" and the URL of the forum.

This year, I will buy some supplies to do a nicer job of them. (Last year, the ingredients were things I already had in the home.)

I do not have a preview of what the badges will look like, this year, yet. But, they will probably resemble those from last year, for the most part:

Star Party

I don't know anything about it other than what is on this site:
http://www.atlantaskeptics.com/starparty/

When: Thursday, September 1, 2011, 7:30 p.m.

Where: The Emory Math & Science Center, 400 Dowman Dr., Atlanta, GA 30322

As far as I can tell, tickets are not available, yet. But, I intend to get one, when they are.

Tix for the Star Party are not yet available, but will be within a week. Our organizer has had some personal things to take care of that's monopolized her time lately. All the details on the prices are on the website Wowbagger gave.

For those of you who came last year, it should be similar. Same place, same caterer, same general deal.

When they go on sale, I'll post it here.

Will Wowbagger be renting a car to drive us there?

I highly doubt it.

"us?" Whoever said you were cool enough to come to DragonCon?

You guys keep inviting me!

I'm not signed up, but may, if I can find a last minute hotel room.

I'll get kitten to ask him to rent a van, then reschedule the Star Party for Saturday morning. Then kitten will hilariously bail out on going at the last minute.

If we do keep it after dark on Thursday, the moon will be a waxing crescent, being the day after a new moon. According to the totally trustworthy calendar i found online.

I highly doubt it.

How do you expect people to get there?

I may be able to hook you up if you have problems with it.

Same with me.

That's how I ended up there last year.

 

[Andriiya]

I might end up there... maybe. If you're lucky

 

[Phlebas]

I have a message from the Star Party organizer.

*ahem*

"Tell Wowbagger that anyone showing up in sneakers will be asked to leave. No refunds."

If I pay the minor fee, do I get a minor?

 

[Phlebas]

What's her name?

It's on the tip of my tongue.... Mebecca.... Vebecca... something like that.

 

[Wowbagger]

How do you expect people to get there?

They'll figure it out, themselves. It's not that difficult.

I'm not planning to do anything else in the area, so it's not worth renting a vehicle.

Perhaps some of us will be able to ride some of the dragons.

So apparently all the hotels are all booked - anybody got advice on somewhere that might nice to stay at besides the host hotels? Google is hard.
