So I am entirely willing to order a standup of me for use at ACEN, but how would I get it there?

When you order it, you have it shipped to one of us?

We might try having an ultimate frisbee game at some point if people are interested. Any support for that? Should be able to find a good open area somewhere.

Confirming interest in ultimate frisbee, though I don't recall having a whole lot of downtime last year.

We could do Thursday evening or something?
I know that I will personally be busy with cosplaying and stuff on Friday/Saturday.

Hm, I was also considering thursday night being 'we go to get early drink on at emporium' before shuffling back to the VIP suite for more drinking

I'm ok with that plan as well, but what about those who are underage (if any) and arriving on Thursday? Can't leave them at the hotel...

I'm definitely up to drink if I'm around. Still tentative on when I'm coming and all that jazz though.

How expensive does this meetup+con usually run for those who've done it in the past?

I love chicago and its about a 5-6 hour drive from here so nice and easy to get to, and I'll be out of classes by the time may runs around. Plus its a good excuse to drag the BF wherever I go  ;D

But the BF's already going to be in chicago for a while next week (brother's graduation), plus we are both going to be in NYC for cousin's wedding in june and then going (maybe) to AC in july (lol), so I've kind of got a travel-and-expense filled summer already Tongue

Edit: also I have zombie fluxx, munchkin, M:TG, Descent (board game), Arhkham Horror (board game), a copy of Cards Against Humanity (that I technically gifted to my sis for xmas) and a bunch of other stuff that I only get a chance to play once in a blue moon lol as far as that stuff is concerned

It can vary widely depending on a variety of factors: What room you're in, whether you eat at the hotel restaurants, and if you're the type to buy swag from the vendor room/AA. Bare minimum? $200 for the whole weekend. A realistic estimate? $350.

$300 - $400 is a more realistic estimate, the suites are $75 a day if we pack 10 in, divide that out for three days that's $225 + badge $50 + $50 for food/alcohol

Good news! Well maybe. I may get pro-rated some vacation when my company's fiscal year ends in April so I may be able to come Big Grin

I really hope I can.
