Capa Langley Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 I'm going, and looking for a person or two to split room cost. Quote
Ferret Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 My attendance is contingent on two things--Having a means of getting there, and having someone to room with. I would add a third condition of having people to hang out with but the first two are far more important. I expect to be in Carroll County, MD within the next 10-15 days so if Mount Airy is on anyone's path to Alexandria I'd appreciate some assistance. So for now I'm still a "maybe". Quote
ella guro Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 mark me down as "possibly going" for now, though I am probably going. Quote
Brushfire Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 OCAD has submitted their panel request. here's hoping we don't an awful spot in a dark corner of the lobby with no power outlets again. Quote
bustatunez Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 +1, not sure about hotel or plane stuff b/c I'm not sure if I'm getting in a day or two early. Quote
José the Bronx Rican Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 GOING! The plan so far is to room with Dyne and others. Before we continue, the word from bgc and Brendan is to decide very quickly if you're going, and then GET PRE-REGISTERED ASAP!!, because it's likely they're going to fill to capacity again, and anyone still putting off might miss out. Don't be one of those people. Quote
Xerol Oplan Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I'm working on editing M8 video: Also since the old thread got axed here it is again: We don't have any good cameras this year, and I would like to borrow a few if anyone has any they don't mind lending out for a few hours. We especially need panel coverage so if you just want to operate your own camera in a panel room all day that's fine too, just drop by and give us a copy. Any equipment we borrow I'll take personal responsibility for and probably buy you a pizza or something too. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 new magfest 9 thread (because luke is a lazy ass bitch) FIX'Dpenispenisdickscocks Quote
jmr Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 the word from bgc and Brendan is to decide very quickly if you're going, and then GET PRE-REGISTERED ASAP!!, because it's likely they're going to fill to capacity again, and anyone still putting off might miss out. Don't be one of those people. Well then. At this point I can promise to be there Friday night through Sunday. Thursday's still a bit iffy. Quote
Bahamut Posted October 3, 2010 Author Posted October 3, 2010 Well then. At this point I can promise to be there Friday night through Sunday. Thursday's still a bit iffy. Thursday is when the fun kicks off! Also a word of advice for some of you - you'll probably want to get some people's phone numbers if you haven't met any of us before so you're not completely clueless at first, and so the fun can start asap.

Murmeli Walan Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I'm totally going. Also driving if somebody from the western PA area needs help, although I'm not sure who out of my friends are going yet. Quote
DrumUltimA Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I am probably going! I just have to figure out how Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I'm still looking for a floor on which to sleep. I'd prefer to room with people I have met in person before, or short of that, someone I "know" on IRC. Anyone with extra room, let me know -- it's just me this year, Addie has a conference in CA that week. Quote
Abadoss Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I'm coming. I've got the time off approved, I've pre-registered, and I've paid for my flight out there. Can't stop me now! Quote
Cyril the Wolf Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I'm still looking for a floor on which to sleep. I'd prefer to room with people I have met in person before, or short of that, someone I "know" on IRC. Anyone with extra room, let me know -- it's just me this year, Addie has a conference in CA that week. If you need one, I'm pretty sure I have at least one slot left. I've got Me, My cousin, Epicenter, BrianSpackle and YOU! Maybe one other person, but if he doesn't pre-reg soon he may be SOL. Quote
