oooooooh =)

not sure if i can go this year, but it's definitely something i want to be at again! been there five years in a row, after all.

Pre-uped!

Super Supporter is all up ons.

I've already pre-registered.

Can't wait to see all you awesome people again!

I WANNA G*shot*


...never mind. :shock: See y'all at MAG XIII!

Tempting. I was a supporter last MAG but never got any of the goodies for it. Not sure if it's worth paying the extra for again.
I'll certainly debate doing MAG again if I can.

Internet access in the hotel rooms?! It's like we're staying at a real hotel now.

Not that I'll be in the room much, anyway...

Oh my god it's that time already?

Myself, Valéerie, and my facial hair will be there. OCAD panel, OCR panel, the works! TOTALLY!

Uhhh...we'll see.

Shut up we know you're not coming to MAGFest ever, Luke.

I was serious about Mag 8 and then I totaled my car. That sucked.
I don't remember what happened with Mag 9. I think it was a lack of money.
I will go to Mag X if I can coerce my friends to split a room with me which is possible.

Ah, we are teased again. Damn you, Atlantic Ocean.

While I'm at it...

Is this supposed to be taken condescendingly or jokingly? I can't tell. I know a flake a lot on this but I can't help that.

I am totally set on going, though I wont have any people from around here to go with so I'll have to split a room with some OCR people it looks like. Would prefer people I've at least talked to a bit on IRC or whatnot, but hopefully I'll figure something out.

So exciting.

A gingerly goad because I REALLY want you to actually come one of these times because, I mean...jamspace. Last time we jammed was at Taucer's in '09! I'm crossing my fingers that you can coerce your friends this time.

=D awesome, man! if i'm going, you're on my list of newbies to meet :<

preregistered.

I love all of you.

Especially Liontamer. I love him long time.

I apologize for accusing you of any malicious intent, I should have known better. :<

But yes, hopefully I'll be able to come and we can all rock out like one big family. <3

=D Splendid. I just preregistered, and might have a room with Capa. Hopefully I'll sort it all out soon.

Maybe?

I haven't gone since MaG4, I'm probably overdue.

you went to mag5, i thought, since i remember seeing you there. you roomed with taucer, pixie, and andy. and me on the floor under the chair.

Do it, we had awesome jam sessions then which would probably be killer now.

If I happen to be out of the dirt-poor college student phase, then I might be able to go.

One day...

It might've been 5... it was a long time ago. Too long ago.

You probably don't want me there but THERE I WILL BE

As long as the curtains make it out ok, it's fine with me. :<

I might go, depends on the money... hopefully I can put off pre-registering until September like I did last year. :-)

When they build teleporters and let me use them without paying the ridiculous cost of flying, I'm in.

I missed MAGFest 9, so I have to come to MAGFest X. Pre-reg'd :grin:

So is this the official thread too? If so, then we should deposit our hotel roomability as well right?

I got a room. Taking in 6. 4 Slots are full.

First come, first serve.

I want to go!!

But joojing by the pics on the site I'm gonna need to go get me some hipster clothes.

Pretty sure an OCR T-Shirt will slide.

I WANT YOU THERE JOSHY if only for your delicious rum.

you better, dude! we need more people on our super smash brothers pile of awesome that we did last time.

Currently reserved my room. I'm determined to go this year, and this will help cement it.

I'm pre-regged, but now I need to get the time off approved. :/

Not obscure enough... not even the Stevo Bomb is obscure enough.

Maybe a neblix t-shirt.

Taking registration for pizza party in our room. Derp derp.

Damn, it's that time of year already!?

If I manage to actually to scrape some cash together for a flight in time, I just might be there this year!

...Though the chances may be slim... :?
