Most likely - check the website. Folks gotta make costumes in advance, so they're unlikely not to be posted.

Hmm...Friday's gonna be doubtful for me. Saturday I'll be there all day and will be helping out with FenCon's room party, so I'm a shoe-in then.

From what I've read, it was a colony named after a guy whose last name was...wait for it..."White"...
I could easily be wrong, though - it's not like I've researched.

White Settlement, despite the obvious assumption, does not mean what you might think it means...at least from what I've read.

A lot of folks at the con "meet" the authors, but not personally - that's what the panel discussions and such are geared toward. Jim, however, is one of those guests who goes out of his way to make people feel like they've gotten their fair share of his attention, though. He's very gracious about it.

Ah, ok. The con won't be keeping people from walking through the halls of the hotel. I'm not sure where they'll have the autograph tables, but I wouldn't be surprised if badges were checked. After all, it's a major draw for the con. But do attend some panel discussions and other programming while you're there. It'll be fun.

No, you asked if you could come into the con without paying, and still get autographs from one of the headline guests.
Still...sorry it doesn't sound like fun to you. I think you're approaching the whole thing from a pessimist's standpoint, though, so anything you're told that doesn't square with what you want to hear is just gonna annoy you.

Dude, have you ever been to a con? There's stuff to do. Even if you don't know the folks there, the discussions are always interesting, just find a conference room with folks sitting at one end and enjoy yourself. There's also usually music, and various other distractions.
Thing is, most of the stuff Jim will be at will be either sponsored by the con, or held in conjunction with it. There are parties in the evening, but generally the folks throwing them will want their gusts to be con attendees or con guests, since that's the reason for the party.

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.

Anyone know what the policy on autographs is at ConDFW? Will there be a charge?

Hm. OK. I think I know which local fans to sit him by so he'll fall asleep quickly.

« on: February 05, 2009, 02:31:05 AM »Seriously. I'm thinking of bringing an elephant tranquilizer to ConDFW.
Just drag 'im to the FenCon party - I'll make sure he has plenty of beverages. That'll do the trick.
