Denvention 3 - Aug. 6-10, 2008

[Bookstore Guy]

Yeah, that's really what its called. 

The early pre-reg. pricing ends the 31st of this month. 

Who's going?

[CtrlZed]

I'm planning on it.

[Bookstore Guy]

sweet!!  now we walk around and have john scalzi appear everytime i mention his name!!

I think Rob (errent) said he was coming.

[EUOL]

I'll be going.  However, unlike last time, I'm not throwing together a big caravan down or anything.  I'll probably just stick with my writing group to make things easy. 

[Peter Ahlstrom]

I need to pre-reg for this. Hopefully I can get on a panel...

[Sigyn]

I'm hoping to go, but I'm wondering if any other girls are planning on going for sharing a hotel room.

[42]

I'm considering going to this. Unfortunately, I probably won't know before the 31st of this month.

[Phaz]

I've never been to anything like this, but might have to check it out since it's local.

[Parker]

I'm planning on going, just to see all you crazy people again.

[Rosencrantz]

Oh Not-Bookstore-Man, I will be going.

I just don't know yet whether the new wife will want to go with me or not. Probably not. But I have to be sure.

[stacer]

Is this WorldCon? I haven't heard anything about it. It's rather early, isn't it? (And hey, if I went, it would mean we'd have to have a birthday celebration for me on the 7th. )

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Yes, it's Worldcon. And it is a few weeks earlier than usual; I'm sure there's a reason for that discussed elsewhere.

[Sigyn]

So I'll ask again: are any girls going? If I go, I was hoping I might be able to share a hotel room with someone instead of being all alone and scared.  Brandon will vouch for me to anyone who wonders if I'm a psycho.

[Christopher]

Yep. I'm in.

We have a lot of unfinished business from WorldCon 06. 

1) Making Brian famous...

2) Expanding on our "Book Store Guy" techniques--or whatever variation thereof that we come up with. Lead, of course, by Steve.

3) Convincing Big Bob (Defendi) to go and helping him push his awesome Echoes of Heaven stuff in whatever way we can. Or, if he doesn't care about that, just for his general attitude/jokes.

4) Scalzi-bane "The Return", or "The Continuation" or whatever...

And those are just off the top of my head.

[Christopher]

Oh, hey. Here's some registration info:

*Yes, the pre-registration (reduced fee) ends on the 31st. However...

*You can pay on the "installment plan" if you want. If you pay $40 by the 31st, you can then pay the rest by July (minimum of $10 a quarter), the entire total being the reducted "pre-registration" rate.

Also, WorldCon Denver is giving a reduced rate to those who "voted in the 2008 site selection".  That should mean ALL OF US, who voted at the L.A convention for Denver.  I just sent Denvention an e-mail asking them how we can get this reduced rate. As soon as they get back to me, I'll post the details here.

NOTE: If you don't see anything from me by Monday (because they haven't gotten back to me yet), go to the site and at least pay the $40 to get the reduced rate. Buy the "Supporting Membership", which will be upgraded later to an "Attending Membership" when you pay the rest of the money.  Put a check in the "installment plan" box.

Here's the websites. Information page (with link to installment plan instructions):
