So it has come time of the year that I can book flights for decent rates and... still nothing worked out for Con yet. Something has come up so I will want to be in North America come August, but just trying to plan out what I do with my time.

Was there anything that eventuated? I know a couple of ideas floated and last year Boston sounded pretty rad and all, but.... questionmark? Figured we are overdue a discussion topic anyway.

Grefter if you don't come to Florida I will cry I AM SO LONELYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Sadly there is a very high chance we won't be able to come this year with all the stuff we have going on over summer.

Shale · « **Reply #3 on:** February 25, 2017, 02:00:50 PM »

Pffffft, I'm sure there's nothing major going on in your life this summer, definitely nothing that would require non-DLCon travel plans.

Lady Door · « **Reply #4 on:** February 25, 2017, 11:51:50 PM »

I can't make promises until I know more -- and probably until a bit more time has passed -- but I would love to find a way for Andrew and I to make DLCon this year. Baby may or may not come with us, location and timing pending and all that.

Dhyerwolf · « **Reply #5 on:** February 26, 2017, 03:21:26 AM »

If there is one, I would try my best to come, but it really depends on school load/which classes I'm taking next term.

Niu · « **Reply #6 on:** February 26, 2017, 08:47:30 AM »

As usually, I will be able to attend unless there are unexpected accidents. (which is what stopped me from coming last year).

So yeah, looking forward to what we have for this year.

Won't be going to a US-based one.

VySaika · « **Reply #9 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:05:15 PM »

I can't host this year, but I'm up to travelling p.much anywhere, even international.

Magetastica · « **Reply #10 on:** February 27, 2017, 08:27:32 PM »

Work stuff is hard to predict, but I may be able to make a US-based one as long as it's not in August.

Same as RICHARD. Add that I am trying to save vacation days for a trip back to Asia this year

As I said, if it's in Boston, I will seriously consider driving up there. If not, I'll be bussing because I have other arrangements for flying likely happening in the year.

If it's in Boston and I do drive, I will be totally up for actually carpooling up there with anybody in the area, be it them flying in, or something I grab along the way. In fact, I ENCOURAGE you to ask me if that's the case!

...all of this is a huge "if" of course.

Meiousei · « **Reply #13 on:** April 02, 2017, 04:30:02 AM »

Originally, my plan was to take a week off from work and go wherever it was going to be. Due to my job swapping I did, I would need to know the date and place before I make plans. I really wanted to meet everyone and punch Meeple like I said I would in real life so right now it's up in the air.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #14 on:** April 02, 2017, 08:51:55 AM »

There had better damn well be one this year - I'm finally able to make it after wedding, car death, buying a house, and all the other crazy stuff impeded it that past several years.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to host for a bit, but if it's northeast, I can help to the best of my abilities. I can probably make it anywhere, honestly.

NotMiki · « **Reply #15 on:** April 03, 2017, 03:02:27 PM »

Apologies for being silent on this. I've been working on moving to an apartment in the greater Boston area, and wasn't really sure if when I moved I'd be able to make something happen. Anyway, not entirely done with that process, but I think I'm close enough now.

So what's everyone's availability? We will definitely need to rent a small house or the like, but there's availability in the area I'm (probably, argh) moving to.

I cannot do Aug 6-13 or June 15-16. Other than that, my schedule is open.

dunie · « **Reply #16 on:** April 03, 2017, 03:35:38 PM »

Only able to before Aug 1, then I'm out of the country for a while. If there's ever a before-August con, I can pitch in for anything. I feel like Airbnb options in Mass are pretty great, but that's jumping ahead of the gun.

VySaika · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2017, 06:29:15 PM »

I have obligations late August/early September, but anything in June/July I can make. Boston con should be fine for me since I have family in Connecticut I can visit either before or after.

NotMiki · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2017, 08:28:03 PM »

I strongly suspect that the airbnb market for house rentals dries up by September 1 when the kids come to college. So I don't think we should be looking any later than August.

Grefter · « **Reply #19 on:** April 03, 2017, 10:00:17 PM »

I am on continent in August from 2nd to 22nd but am booked up for a chunk of that last week.

Cotigo · « **Reply #20 on:** April 04, 2017, 04:17:55 AM »

So, I recently came into some employment that gives me great flexibility. I may well be doing a road trip that takes me up DLC way. Assuming I'm not having one of my mental breakdowns or w/e. Count me as a cautious in. I'll know more once I start getting paychecks.

Lady Door · « **Reply #21 on:** April 14, 2017, 05:25:32 PM »

So what's the plan? It's mid-April already and that means August is only 3.5 months away. (Stupid calendars.)

NotMiki · « **Reply #22 on:** April 14, 2017, 06:56:14 PM »

Righto, dates are the most important thing to get squared away, so last call for anyone with time restrictions.

Lady Door · « **Reply #23 on:** April 14, 2017, 07:50:17 PM »

There's never going to be a great time for me, but the last week of August/early September is most likely when I'll be moving so we'd probably not make a con at that time. But that's kinda late for DLC anyhow.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #24 on:** April 14, 2017, 07:52:55 PM »

I'm just going to say July seems optimal for me now. August is do-able depending on a number of factors (many of which I don't know now) but given the high probability of me driving down there, I at least have flexibility in terms of not worrying about getting plane tickets or something.
