The price has dropped more since then so I can get it and the Gamecube by then I believe :D Unless someone else can bring a gamecube and I just bring the game :?
I doubt that it's the last day. I bought my 3 day registration online, two months before A-Kon 14, 15, 16, and 17. In addition, you always have the option of buying a 3-day pass for $50 at the door, no matter what. It only costs $35 for a Saturday-only pass.

Did they change their pre-reg policies, or are you mistaken?

Mario Mix sucks. Original DDR is better. I'm bringing my XBox to my hotel room like I do every year. (If I go again that is.) I'm hopeing to bring my copy of Steel Battalion to show people.

I am almost posative I will be there again, just not sure if I will go home each night or stay somewhere at the hotel. I definatly want to go to one of their raves this time though because hopefully by then I will be good enough with poi to have my quantum leashes.

the banquet tickets are just for a dinner. You want an adult pass to get into the convention

The banquet is an extra event. It's the con membership you want. (Though I did myself enjoy also doing the banquet, too.)

I personally know four or five of the banquet celebrities that attend every year. I simply call them up and ask if they want to have breakfast in the downstairs restraunt like we to every year on Saturday. Special thanks to my manager friend Shawn for hooking me up every time.
:P

I hear the banquet food is awesome though.

You need to start doing everything early. I already have my room reserved. If you wait till the last minute, you may not get one. You'll end up looking for a room at the another hotel.

Can't wait to meet you there. :D

Plus any other Pack member that decides to go. :D

nice. :o
thanks for the info, darkjokerwolf.

unfortunately, i thinki will still be in school those days (plus my 'rents will be like, "you can't go to texas! who will go with you? how will you get there? how will you get back? where is all this money coming from? you can't go to texas!")

so, even though it could be great, i doubt a would be able to go. :cry:

make sure you keep me posted with all that goes on (plus pics!)

Hmmmm....I changed my room from a double queen to a single King size bed. (Makes me wonder how many times I can rollover before falling out of bed. LOL!!)

Reason being is that its in a newly renovated section of the hotel. I'm hoping this section is not as crowded as the other section It was at back in June 2006. You had to take the elevator down just to go up to your room!!

Internet access is suppose to be free in that section. I had to pay in the other part.

I would share....but I like to have my privacy. Hope you don't mind.

Haha, nah, that's cool. I do too! ^_^
I'm just going to have to put that aside for now. :P
If I can't find anybody to room with that's not a big deal, I'll just stay at my friend's house again.

My wife Cathey and I are planning on sharing with my sister Alicia and her husband Michael. That will likely make for a stuffed room. But, it's pretty early on, and things could change. We live only 30 minutes away from the hotel, but we still need a base of operation, and my sister lives a good four hours out. Updates as plans get formalized.

In the past, I've reserved rooms and got tickets around February or March. My goal this year is before the end of the year--possibly before the end of the month.

Ditto to that. I'll get my pre-reg in December. Even if I don't end up going, $30 spent and not used isn't a huge waste. And I usually wait until the Adam's Mark is overbooked, so I can get a discount at the less crowded 4 star Westin Hotel. I did that for the last two years, and it always works out great. If you don't mind the long walk back to the room (usually seven minutes), it definately beats waiting in line simply for the elevator.

I've been to the last four A-Kons in a row. If there were ever to be a "last time", visit number five is it. Otherwise, I'll attend six more before stopping my expensive trips. Magic number ten.

I am not quite sure what I am doing yet, if I am just going to commute each morning on the Dart or what, but that option seems most likley to save money from getting a room. Plus, that way I wont have the excuse of sleeping for missing something as entertaining as the "sex at cons" pannel. :lol:
