Unununium Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 I've not heard from theshaggyfreak, who I understand is organizing the OCR block. But I do have a room I'm looking to share, and so far there have been zero takers. Quote
Bahamut Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) So what's the status of the group buy? It looks like I'm 95% definitely in for this year. I'll be organizing it soon - I just need to clear out my PM inbox Edit: Ok, so I just cleared out a ton of old PMs - I am now ready to start taking reservations & badge $ for the MAGFest group buy! Send me a PM, and Paypal wesley.cho@gmail.com $31.50 (to cover most of the BS paypal fee) whenever you can - I will be doing the pre-reg around the end of the month, which is the deadline for getting the prereg in. For anyone interested, send me PMs expressing interest in staying in the OCR suite! The rate will be $50/night for any interested in staying, so it's guaranteed to be cheap!

MaxFrost Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 I'm going to miss you guys this year Magfast is not in the cards for this Minnesotan this coming year. Too many big expenses due to damages have killed our travel budget. Quote
Arrow Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 I've not heard from theshaggyfreak, who I understand is organizing the OCR block. But I do have a room I'm looking to share, and so far there have been zero takers. I can tell you from past experience that the OCR Block isn't something that really gets commented or expounded on regularly. Everyone who reserves a room in their name just fills out the extra form to get in the block, and then in December, the MAGFest hotel liaison will contact the block organizer with a list of people who asked to be in that block to confirm everything looks right. Organizer replies back with a yes/no (along with any last minute additions), then the liaison sends the final list to the hotel, then the hotel puts all those rooms on the same stretch of hallways. The block organizer does very little. Quote
Bahamut Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Just bumping this up to remind you guys that you have about 2 weeks if you want to get in on the group badge buy! Also there's an enormous amount of room in the suite if people want to sleep there! Quote
theshaggyfreak Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Don't worry! When everything starts going down, I'll make sure to communicate with everyone on this forum post. Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Wes I am going to get you cash for both Addie and myself -- mostly posting here as a reminder to do just that very shortly. Looking forward to seeing everyone! Quote
Phonetic Hero Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 going - need a room I'll have a really really cheap one, if you want. There's like 12 of us OCR ding-dongs in there, if you want to stay with us you're more than welcome. Shoot me a PM if you're interested Quote
Flexstyle Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) just bought my plane tickets so I'm actually reasonably sure I'm going for real this time ASDFLKJDSLAFKDJFSDFSOEXCITED also there's that whole "I'm playing during the DJ event" so ya know. Edited October 16, 2013 by Flexstyle Quote
kitty Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I won't be going this year, due to some unfortunate circumstances. Hopefully maybe next year. Quote
Ethan Rex Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Rooms are booked for the Gaylord, dunno if that was announced or not. The hotel across the street is still open though, so make reservations ASAP Quote
Arrow Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Did you try to book your rooms through the Gaylord itself or through MAG's internal link to the Gaylord's site? I remember Velocifero running into this same problem a few weeks ago, but he was trying to book straight through the Gaylord, and when he did it through the MAG link, there were still rooms left. (I'd test, but I don't want to double-book) Quote
XPRTNovice Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Just a few months away! I am excitebike. Quote
Brushfire Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 MAGFEST! Room is booked. Getting a badge for free for being a Pokemon Gym Leader this year. Life is good. Quote
XPRTNovice Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 MAGFEST! Room is booked. Getting a badge for free for being a Pokemon Gym Leader this year. Life is good. Just give us fair warning this year as to the places/times where you won't be wearing any pants. Quote
Brushfire Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 MAGFest in it's entirety is a potential "No-Pants Zone." Can't hang with the dang? Quote
kitty Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 No-pants Brushie was a highlight of MAG last year for me. Quote
Mirby Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 you mean him and his dangle dang? *shudders* Quote
Brushfire Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 you mean him and his dangle dang?*shudders* Lots of OCRtists sang of the dang. Quote
Mirby Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I don't know why they'd want to remember it... D: Quote
Brushfire Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Gotta turn that into a desktop wallpaper. Quote
Mirby Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 but i'm in that picture too i'd be on your desktop D: along with the side of djp's head Quote
Brushfire Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Along with Zircon, Pixietricks, Garpacalypse, Diotrans, Palpable, Oblivious One, Vilecat, Kitty, and I think that arm belongs to Velocifero. Quote
kitty Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 So I may have a job lined up, which would mean I can come if I get it. Does anyone still have space open in their room (preferably at the Gaylord)? Quote
