Venneh Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 If anyone wants to apply for press badges for it on the absolute long shot that we might make it, let me know; they want us to submit our stuff as a group the way it looks.

dc20willsave Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 So, out of curiosity, who's going to be trying to make it out to Chicago for C2E2 this year? Mostly want to know so we can start figuring out Hotel crap before everything starts going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I'm actually kind of proud of the people on my Facebook feed. That story was trending all day yesterday and no one made a smartass joke or anything. It's pretty fucked up that someone would do that.

I was terrified that someone would have something awful to say, but thus far people seem to agree that trying to poison people is bad.

Dan Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 EmotiCon 2015 (the new name for DashCon) has officially been called off after several months of insistence that it was going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 A perverse part of me had been fooling around with the idea of going just to give an eye-witness report of the train wreck. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 They issued refunds. RefundS. Plural. More than one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 The more I look into it, the more inevitable this became. The can wasn't being put on because of the organizers' stubborness, it was being put on because contracts had already been signed and cancelling it would have cost the organizers an additional $120K. However, no ticket sales and no guests, along with the fact that Dashcon is several weeks past the date to settle with their existing creditors (and have as yet to actually contact any of them) lead directly to the impossibility of continuing. By all accounts a class action lawsuit on behalf of their creditors is in the works. Furthermore, one of the owners, Cain Hopkins, is looking at actual jail time for theft, but the exact nature of that is up in the air.

dc20willsave Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 So, we're about three months out and I figured I would see if anyone other than Hannah, myself, and the people who already live in Chicago were planning to make C2E2. I want to book my hotel room in the next week or so so I just want to see. For the purposes of Roommates, as of right now, I have three people in my room (Myself, Matt, and a friend of ours). I'm willing to take up to two more. I'm leaning towards the Best Western this year because it is the cheaper option (129 a night vs 149 at the next two hotels up in price) though if anyone who is going would rather do a different hotel, let me know. Also, Press Pass applications are currently up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I intend to keep my tradition of thinking there is a 5% chance I can afford to go, forget about it, make a made mad scramble the week before, concoct an insane plan and then end up not making it. Fun times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Unfortunately, I can't make it this year. New job working a lot more hours, and I have training around that time that I can't miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've been saying I'll go for about 10 years, bvut I'm finally going to Emerald City Comicon this year. A lot of cool people to meet/talk to including Gabriel Hardman, Cullen Bunn, Jeff Parker and Francesco Francavilla! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've met Hardman, Parker, and Francavilla. Great guys, really easy to talk to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I need to confront Parker on why he hasn't put me in a comic yet. He told me he would. It's on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kscriv Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'll be missing Chicago this year. Going to have to reassign some of my vacations around this year (Anime Detour in Twin Cities in March, might be in Detroit for US Thanksgiving).

Molly Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Let me know when you're in the Twin Cities, Kellen. We can grab lunch or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Des, I'll be at ECCC too this year! Would you want to meet up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yup. I would. A few drinks on Friday or Saturday, perchance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Jealous. Hannah might be going for a stealth lead in the great "Who's Met Who" contest. Also, drinks with Des should be an item someplace on everyone's bucket list. Right, I'm probably going to go ahead and book the hotel room on Wednesday. Probably the Best Western for familiarity sake. It's an odd year so those tend to be the ones where it's just us Mid-Westerners anyway. Unless the other members of my group have other plans, I'll probably plan on just Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I might come alone this year, maybe. Michelle will stay here with BabyThing. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
