DLC X: Back to the Bay
« on: September 30, 2014, 06:25:24 PM »
DLCon X: Bay Area, the Revenge of the Pacific Ocean, will be July 30 - August 2 in the San Francisco Bay Area-ish.

Other topics of interest:
DLC X - Travel
DLC X - Activities

Housing:

We’ll be staying at Redwood House in El Cerrito, 6506 Eureka Ave., easily accessible by BART (local train), bus, and car. (This is the same place we stayed at for DLC 5.) Lots of sleeping space, decent areas for gathering and playing games of the video and board variety, walking distance to groceries, video games, clothes, restaurants, and a short drive away from the bowling alley and similar delights. It’s a 20 minute train ride to San Francisco. Plus it has a grill that hopefully we can actually use this time!

The house will be open July 29 through August 3. The cost per person depends on how many people stay at the house, but if 15 people stay it’s $215.

Driving:

Very limited, as much because I hate driving as because there really aren't many places that are easier to drive to than take a bus or train to. Nevertheless, I'll be looking for a couple people who want to help for the day or two we'll need to go off the bus paths.

It's possible to use local car-share services (Uber, Lyft, Sidecar) as well, though I'm not certain how well-served the area around the house is.

So... who's coming?

Pencil me in as a maybe.

First week of June would work best for me. My lease is up at the end of June, and would probably be moving back to NJ or somewhere the fuck out of Florida, so the earlier before that the better.

Solid Maybe.  As usual I'll let you know whether I'll be coming hours, perhaps even days before the con starts.

Tentative yes.  Already have commitment July 17 and 18 and the surrounding days are likely to be eaten up as well.

I am interested.  But will confirm nothing unless/until I manage to acquire a passport and a method of getting down there.

I definitely don't give a fuck about missing independence day.  #canada

I probably don't give a fuck about missing E3 either.  Didn't even bother going this year.  (GDC you can pry from my cold dead hands, on the other hand).  Maybe other people care about E3 though.

As a note, travel costs during July 4th weekend are much higher than the surrounding weeks usually.

E3 is something I might have to do, depending on where in the release cycle my products are. I say "have to" though I love the spectacle of the show and wouldn't mind a reason to go down to SoCal and probably justify visiting friends and (Andrew's) family without having to pay my own airfare.

As for 4th of July travel, I wouldn't say they're much higher than the surrounding weeks, but they definitely are higher. The decision comes down to whether we want a June con or a later July con. It's all summer fares either way, whee.

Poll
1. Who prefers a June con?
  • June 4-7
  • June 11-14 (potential conflict)
  • June 18-21 (potential conflict - also Father's Day)
  • June 25-28

2. Who prefers a July con?
  • July 2-5 (Fourth of July)
  • July 9-12 (hosts at SDCC)
  • July 16-19 (potential conflict)
  • July 23-26
  • July 30-Aug 2

I am against 7/4 con.

Late June would be my preference; it's weirdly harder for me to get away from work during summer school months (July-August). I'm not yet 100% sure I'll even be teaching then but if there are no other major preferences that's certainly my vote.
