Official Worldcon 2006 Thread

[Christopher]

If necessary, I'd be willing to pay for the 1-way car rental from LAX to SLC in order to get the Southwest Rapid Rewards credit.  So that would open up three round-trip spots, I believe: 3 in Oldie's van on the way down, and three in the rental car on the way back.  (I just went ahead and reserved the car, just in case.  I can cancel it if it ends up we don't need it.)

Someone explain this to me. How does the rental car open up spots on the way down? I'm sure it does if Eric and EUOL say it does...

So, we should be good, right? We have enough slots on the way down and we chip in for the rental car on the way back. Right?

Alright, EUOL. I just sent you an e-mail for your address. I might need some basic directions too. All you guys live in Happy Valley it seems. I'm sure you guys know the place like the back of your hands. Livin' up here in Davis Country, I know how to get to a BYU game...that's about it.

WORLDCON.

This should be fun.

EUOL, I sent you an email regarding info about WorldCon for you to be aware of. Just to let you know so it doesn't get lost in your email abyss.

[EUOL]

Christopher,

I got the email.  Will respond.

The thing is, we have three more spots DOWN than we have BACK because Old One won't have her kids until she picks them up in California.  So, it was always the way back that we needed more space.

Stacy,

Never got your email.  ?

EUOL--tried again. My Outlook did funny things and sent it to the wrong address.

The first page has been updated to reflect the rental car and the ride solution. I imagine that we'll have more than two coming home in the rental, just because it will have an empty back seat and Oldie's van will be stuffed to the gills.

Everyone please review the first page and make sure that you are on the list for rooms and rides, and that you know who you're driving with and when and where to meet them.

[EUOL]

My rooms are confirmed for the right days (just checked.)  Whoever has the other room, it might be cool if you called them and asked to be placed near my rooms.  

[blcdrayco]

What room number do you have?  I'm happy to request it, I just need the right info.

[EUOL]

I don't know if they have assigned room numbers yet.  They may have.  Either way, they didn't give me one when I called.

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Should I try to show up at the Manga panel tomorrow and see if they'll let me on? Or would that be totally bad form?

[stacer]

I did that (not on purpose) at Cascadiacon last year. I was able to answer more questions than any of the panelists, who didn't even know the definition of YA.

[Peter Ahlstrom]

I should've just e-mailed the panels coordinator long ago and volunteered to be on anything related to what I do. But nooo...I never got around to it.

[Peter Ahlstrom]

I want to hear a full report from Dan on his potential big break. I only heard short secondhand mentions of it.

[Spriggan]

We're also expecting writeups on worldcon from Fish and Fell.

[Eric James Stone]

For those who were planning to contribute toward the car rental, you can do so through Paypal if you wish.  (Send it to worldcon followed by the at symbol followed by ericjamesstone.com)  Otherwise, you can just give me cash sometime when you see me.
