Jim at Dragon*Con 2010

<< < (13/62) > >>

OK, not so much into the costumes or RPG, but I live only an hour away and would REALLY like to see Jim Butcher if he is speaking and/or get my copy of Changes signed (and now I guess I am glad that Amazon and the Kindle People screwed me and I have the hardback).  So, to reiterate the request in the above post, what exactly is Jim scheduled to do at D*C? 

And I have never been to D*C, as I generally keep my SF&F on the DL, but 75K people!  Holy Moly! 

Holocron.Coder:
Anybody know what Mr. Butcher will be doing at Dragon*Con?

llwaynest:
The schedule will be posted about a week before the con athttp://www.dragoncon.org/. I'm guessing the Dark Fantasy track? Heck, IIRC he was at the Goth track the last time he was there. ;D

Yeratel:
The friend I was going with to Dragon*Con has had some unexpected family expenses that ate up the travel budget, and will not be able to attend. She has already paid for her membership credentials, and while these are non-refundable, they are transferrable, per Dragon*Con policy:
Refund/Transfer Policy
We do not offer refunds for memberships. If you can't attend Dragon*Con after you've pre-registered you may transfer your membership to another person. This notice of transfer must be in writing and have the signatures of both the original member and the new member.

There will be a $20 transfer fee.

If anybody is interested, she's offering her membership for $20, plus the $20 transfer fee to Dragon*Con, a total of $40. Original cost through Dragon*Con was $80, the current cost is $90, and after July 19 it will be $100.
Note that this is just for attendance to the Con, it doesn't include hotel or meals. If anyone is interested, PM me to work out the transfer.

Hello All,

New  here, and I blame it on the roomie.  Been a sci-fi geek and gamer for 30 years, but just got started on Jim's books. Almost caught up with the series, only one more book to go, woot! As such, I have been to Dragon, and many other cons besides.  For those that have never been to Dragon, but have been to other cons, be aware that this is the largest con for this type of thing almost anywhere. It takes up three full host hotels, with overflow hotels for those who can't get reservations in the main hotels, and by now it is too late to be in the main hotels...it is massive!  If you are new to cons in general this is not the con to make your first because you will get lost in the tidal wave of humanity...unless you have experienced con goers with you. Someone said earlier in the topic that no one dresses for Dragon, they were being sarcastic.  Bring your camera and plenty of memory, or a lappy to dump the pictures to. Be prepared to stint your sleep, as you won't want to miss a thing, and even then you will miss more than you will see. Have fun, be safe, and like was said before...try not to drink too much!

Sincerely

Dame, Mistress of the Newbs
