ConDFW in Richardson, TX: Feb 20-22, 2009
The Dread Pharaoh Roberts:
Sameth, the whole point of the Con is so people will buy memberships (aka "a badge") and come meet Jim and the other guests, shop at the vendors, etc. You buy your admission so you can get in. Paying admission makes the Con possible - how do you think they were able to fly Jim and the other guests in, rent the venue, the sound systems, and do all the other stuff?
No admission means, well...no admission.
Spectacular Sameth:
Guess I'll miss out, then. Thanks for the support...

Don't be so tragic, man. Think of it as going to a bar to see your favorite band - there's a cover charge AND a drink minimum on top of the show ticket in many bars. I know I went to a number of shows that way and drank the nastiest, cheapest beer I could because my finances were tight... but it was worth it. Did that to see Warren Zevon in a little club; I was about ten feet away from the dude. Worth every penny, despite the fact that I quite literally missed meals over the following week-plus.
You just have to ask yourself if it's worth it to you. Who knows? You might even have fun at the con itself!
Gman:
It is cheaper to buy the 1 day pass, $20, I think. That's what I'm doing. I will go on my day off Sunday. I work 2nd shift Friday and Saturday.
Shecky:
There ya go, Sameth. Solution identified!
