Go! Sign Up! NOW!

[Black Jack Rackham]

HOLY SCHNIKES!!! 9 minutes in and 2 events sold out already!

[Black Jack Rackham]

And I should have added 36 out of 72 total tickets available are already sold. Wow.

[Sister Sonya]

Got no response for 35 minutes, then slowly was able to sign up for 7 events before my hour at the library ran out.

Both of Jason Haskins' events were sold out.

I'll try to sign up for one of the personal agendas tonight.

[Lady Grace]

Well, Mike & I have booked our HoA events (and a few others). Now, to see if the dealer room this year has a quality battle-axe (blunt yet not a boffer) so I can get a jump on Annie's 2014 LARP outfit...

[Black Jack Rackham]

(Yes, you read that last one correctly, there are, in fact, negative fourtickets left).

[Rebecca Iavelli]

Did I not say it would sell out, lol. Guess its generics for me.

[salamanca]

Grace, skip the axe. I am very strict on my no weapons at the larp rule. (to many of ya'll start drinking before larping). Looks like I need to plan to not actually play 5 and 6 to handle overflow. (so be it). If demand is there, i'll do that.

[Rebecca Iavelli]

Yep, I can run the 1 and 3 on wens and thursday if needed, so Mark and you can run a table each of 5 and 6. We can adapt our scheduals from there.

[Lady Grace]

Awww...

(Does Muffin count as a weapon?)

[salamanca]

I have no worries about 1 and 3. Happy to run back to back. You may need to run for the 9 walk ups on those but I'll happily shoulder the bulk of the events. And Muffin may count as a weapon. (but muffin is totally not hanging out with any Vesten). I will be sure to post some early clarifications on the larp after we get this year's convention finished.

[salamanca]

Hey those who got in, feel free to tell us which events so we can start thinking about how to set up some interesting group dynamics.

[Black Jack Rackham]

(Just cause I love updating). We're down to just 17 tickets left and on an unrelated note, DOMINGO GIGANTE! an adventure with NO PRESOLD TICKETS is now at -4

[Rebecca Iavelli]

Ah, never mind. Brain had a gas bubble. I didn't look at time that the games were running, and thought that 1 and 5 were running at the same time, and 3 and 6. Duh. So I was figuring to handle the ones already played while you two would run a table of the new ones each.

Guess I'm still wiped from Mother's Day week. It was horrendiously busy, and we beat last years sales, AND we didn't have a thing left Sunday night to have to throw away, everything we had sold.

[Lady Grace]

Annie would NEVER let a rare Vesten Forest Cat hang out with any uncouth barbarians! They wouldn't appreciate such a creature like a proper Vendel (such as Annie and her Aunt) would! By Theus, those bastard Vesten would probably try to eat it!

Mike and I are booked for Ep. 5 on 6/14 (9am-1pm), Personal Agendas (1pm-5pm) and Episode 6 on 6/15 (1pm-5pm)

[salamanca]

Well, just bought some generics to cover the two sessions you all bought out already. And I signed up for an event on saturday after I finish running two back to back sessions and before I run MegaParanoia.

that's right, I'm going into overtime play.

[Black Jack Rackham]

FOUR weeks from now I will be sitting at my hotel just chomping at the bit to get Origins started.

Oh and as an update, everything but episodes 3 and 4 have sold out (DOMINGO GIGANTE! still has -4 tickets) and we have a total of 12 tickets left unsold.

[Black Jack Rackham]

I think we're at the point where we can start doing updates for every five days, so 25 days left!

[Black Jack Rackham]

Ok just a heads-up. I've been checking back in for updates on the events list (in the desperate hope they'd update our events with LOCATIONS, but to no avail. I just wanted to let you all know I'll repost as soon as I actually know where we'll be (Though I'm guessing it'll be where we always are)

[salamanca]

actually, we are booked to play in your hotel room this year. Nothing awkward about that unless I show up 4 hours early for the morning events.

As long as there is seating for everyone, the thermostat works and there are lights on, I am good to go. Tables are a bonus but not mandatory.

[Black Jack Rackham]

I forgot to say this earlier, but now that you have your schedules, feel free to share!

[salamanca]

I will be spending the entire convention in whatever room we have been assigned to. I am considering asking the Hyatt to just put a cot in there for me. If Mark has listed an event, I am either playing it, running it, or running the other session at the next table. Then at 11 pm saturday, I will be running Megaparanoia in the Harrison room. That's my schedule. Food will be eaten in between.

[smafdi]

Following each years tradition i'll be registering for events at the con because i'm lazy and really really enjoy not being able to so some events. Other than that i'll be spending generics on all the HoA games that are new doing an L5R ccg tourney on saturday and spending some time in the dealers room with the greater than games people demoing sentinels of the multiverse for people (and free swag). Might try to catch something batman related for the SI, but we'll see what we can get on that fateful wednesday. I didn't see any cv games listed on the excel so that frees up a whole day for me this year, not sure what to do with all the free time.... maybe force sal into some board games to "relax".
