Official Worldcon 2006 Thread

[Peter Ahlstrom]

I registered right after Boston, when it was tens of dollars cheaper. Didn't get Karen registered until a couple months ago, though.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Put me on a room list

Im pretty sure I want to come...

[Shrain]

Count me in, too. Haven't paid the full amount yet, but I already paid the $50 installment a while ago. It's definitely in the cards for next year.

Oh, and I might even be able to drive a couple people. I plan on driving back here from Boston for a few weeks in August. But even if I don't drive back, I'll be around and would appreciate sharing a room/car.

[Parker]

I'm going, though I have yet to register.  Money is tight right now . . .  But count me in.

[Oldie Black Witch]

I'm going, and I have a roomy SUV that seats 8. Count me in on the carpool.  

I just submitted my credit card Supporting Membership application, so hopefully it'll be in time to vote.

Oldie,

One website I saw said you had until the 31st of January to get in on the nomination process, so you should be okay.  Elsewhere, I'd heard January first--but that even if you missed the initial mailing, you could request a nomination card as long as you got it back by the end of the nomination process.

We got our Dec. 2005 Worldcon report booklets yesterday or so. They've got the nomination forms inside, and you can register right on the form--but yes, they have to have received your registration by Jan. 31st, though the nominations don't have to be in until March.

On so many categories I don't know who to nominate!

[This is Ookla again...]

[Brenna]

Chris and I won't know if we can come until probably right before. Brenna will be 10 months old, but I don't know how she'd handle it. Also, depends on if we can earn some of that "money" stuff beforehand in order to pay for such a trip.

We'd like to go, but we'll have to wait and see.  

[Shrain]

I hope you guys get to come. It'd be nice to catch up. Plus, I'd really, really like to see little Brenna!
(Is she sleeping any better at night now?)

[Fellfrosch]

I nominate Tage to pay my way.

[Spriggan]

Heck if Tage is paying I might end up going.

[Eric James Stone]

I'm registered to attend.

[EUOL]

One thing we realized the other night is that this year's Worldcon is NOT over Labor Day.  It's the week before.

[Fellfrosch]

The only guest of honor I know is James Gurney, and he's not exactly a big draw (whatever draw he has, in fact, is cancelled out by the weird dude in the beanie in that picture). Also, they're giving out an award for an "interactive video game," which implies either that some video games are not interactive (a contradiction in terms) or that they don't know what they're talking about, or that they're inflating their language with needless adjectives. Again, none of that is making me excited about this thing.

Jokes on all of you, I'll be attending the AWP conference in March, so hah!

Joked.
