I won't confirm for good until I buy the tickets, but odds are good. Tentative yes.

I'm in, just won't be able to get ticket until mid-march.

Put me down as a "Maybe". I need to scrounge up about four to five hundred extra dollars.

I'd be sad, but you fucking won an award and will be in another country. Holy fuck, this is beautiful.

Niu · « **Reply #57 on:** March 02, 2013, 08:48:10 AM »

Do tell us an award of what?

Idun · « **Reply #58 on:** March 02, 2013, 12:25:51 PM »

(*-= Thanks!

Niu: Diasporas summer grant from the US Department of Education and the West African Research Center. First offered this year, and more generally is a shorter, but funded, version of a Fulbright. I'll perhaps apply for a Fulbright to Germany in the coming years (since it is annual).
Edit* I'll be interning with the Center for Contemporary Arts in Ghana, and working as a liaison with the W.E.B. Dubois Center.

Grefter · « **Reply #64 on:** March 20, 2013, 10:24:48 PM »

Well that is me in as well then.

Monkeyfinger · « **Reply #66 on:** March 22, 2013, 05:29:26 AM »

Not doing the LA con, but I might show up to the post-con bay area meetup you were talking about in the travel thread.

Lady Door · « **Reply #67 on:** March 22, 2013, 05:49:49 AM »

That's more pre-con than post-con. Post-con for us won't be until July 22nd or so, and it will probably just be us (and maybe a Grefter back on his way up to Vancouver).

metroid composite · « **Reply #68 on:** March 23, 2013, 03:33:34 AM »

I have been told I should poke my head into this topic.

Starting new job soon; no guarantee I'll be able to get time off, but I should at very least make it for the weekend.

Archmage · « **Reply #69 on:** March 26, 2013, 07:48:06 PM »

Laggy has enlisted me to be his galley slave this year, with the promise that I will get to spend 5 hours in a car with Grefter or something.

How can I refuse?

Veryslightlymad · « **Reply #70 on:** March 31, 2013, 09:38:11 PM »

Holy fuck that's a lot of cool people all at once. I really, really wish I could offer more than a maybe. With every fiber of my being.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #71 on:** April 01, 2013, 10:08:51 PM »

Might as well put me in the Confirmed section. It's not quite 100%, but at this point, something drastic would have to come up to prevent me from coming. Impossible to tell but at this point, there is nothing happening on those dates preventing me from coming, and I already know work won't get in the way, etc.

Also, what's the deal with Post-Con or Pre-Con this year? Important so I know what dates to grab my plane tickets on (given it's LA, I'd rather have some time after or before the Con to do actual LA related things. Feels like a waste to go to SoCal and do nothing.)

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #72 on:** April 02, 2013, 05:05:16 PM »

So... do we have any confirmed plans for pre- and post-con?

I need to know what dates I'm flying in for.

Also, Niu: are there any Hilton/Embassy/Hampton hotels in your area? My new part-time job affords me some super-cheap room discounts.

Lady Door · « **Reply #73 on:** April 02, 2013, 09:22:08 PM »

Confirmed nothing.

I know I'll be in NorCal before the con! I know we'll be driving down on Wednesday, July 10th! I am planning on staying longer in SoCal after the Con, but the dates are flexible. Still planning on going to San Diego during SDCC, then driving back up to NorCal on July 21st or 22nd.

At this point: Con is as good as confirmed. Pre- and post-con are flexible, depending on who's with us, Andrew's and my job situation come July, and what people want to do.

If I had to guess? We'd do the "theme park" stuff on the Thursday before (July 11th) or Monday after (July 15th) -- that really depends on how we're arranging getting people to and from the airport before and after the con, and who's interested in going, and to where. My preference is for the Thursday before.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #74 on:** April 02, 2013, 11:46:16 PM »

Thursday for an amusement park trip sounds like a poor idea if you ask me. That's when a lot of people are coming in and often the day is relegated to a lot of Airport shenanigans.

Universal, for example, happened on the Wednesday before, I believe. Monday sounds way better for that reason alone.
