I have no idea what I'm doing besides taking that whole week off work. I've already got a hotel room (King Bed at the Hyatt) but haven't registered for the Con because I don't know how >_< HALPand have preregistered but haven't gotten my pass yet.

Costumes:
- Medic (needs work on Medigun & Backpack, either repair or rebuild).
- 10th Doctor (needs Suit & Trenchcoat).
- ???

Badges are pick up only. It's best to go Thursday since the line is short and there's always the precon afterwards.

Last year my group went Friday. Bad mistake. At the door registrations were shorter than prereg pickup. This is with about 12 lines for prereg based on name. Do yourself a favor and go early on Thursday.

I got my registration confirmation postcard yesterday. Should I have registered for the dinner thing too?

Also, this in my email today:

Also^2, I haven't bought my plane tickets yet, although I've requested that whole week off of work. I should get that sorted out soon. Will probably fly in Wed night and stay somewhere cheap closeby, then move to the con hotel on Thurs. Please advise?

[Surf314]

This one is drive-able for me but I won't know if I can go until school starts and I see my sullabi.

[at0m]

Just bought my tickets, flying in early Thurs morning and out late Monday night.

Ha, you're rooming in the party hotel.

How the hell did you get a room so close to the con date?

Ha, you're rooming in the party hotel.

yeah, that was kinda the point. When I originally planned this out, it was going to be me & my (now) ex in the room alone, to invite whomever we pleased.

How the hell did you get a room so close to the con date?

I reserved it the day reservations opened, last September. And all the two-bed rooms were already sold out 4 hours after registration opened. That email was just a reminder that they would be taking the deposit soon.

Whoops. I'm living in Atlanta for grad school now, and it turns out I was only 5 minutes away from this. Whoops.

Surprised 420Chan mascot didn't get busted for "paraphernalia", but it was a pretty sick costume

I chuckled at the AT-ST.  Walking around for any length of time with that thing must have sucked though. 

Also, redheads.
