But next year is a definite yes - AND - I have a panel in mind :)

[yendi]

Yay! :-)

you have the words wrong in your poll. It should be "Yes, because I am not cool enough to be doing the Mystery Hunt; No, because I am doing the Mystery Hunt; or Maybe, because I can't go to the Mystery Hunt because I am going to ALA instead so I might as well stop by Arisia."

[yendi]

The fact that it's constantly up against the Hunt is frustrating to me. Between that and the fact that the Sci-Fi Movie Marathon is always up against Boskone, I feel like there are all these great geek events double-booked against each other, while there are months-long stretches in which nothing happens.

Sometimes, and it's happening this year, the SCA crowd has to choose between Arisia and a big kingdom-level event. (It is in Vermont).

[yendi]

See, and ulike the other ones, that's not on my radar; I suspect there's even other stuff I'm not aware of, too.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

That last option is more accurate for me. :) I'll be at ALA, but it doesn't look like much is happening Friday night so I'm heading over for the Sooj concert.

Maybe next year in the new hotel.

[yendi]

I cannot tell you how much I'm looking forward to more space.

[norda.livejournal.com]

The fuller answer is "No, but I hope to be there next year due to the change in venue."

This year it's not just the venue, but the fact that I haven't got the money for the train trip into town, so I can't do ALA either.

Life continues, but I'll be sorry to miss you yet again.

[yendi]

A lot of folks are looking forward to the venue change, needless to say. I do hope we'll both be there next year.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Oohh, where's it going to be next year?

[ckd]

Westin Waterfront (the current Boskone hotel).

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Nice. That's where I'll be this weekend for ALA as well. :)

[kradical.livejournal.com]

You'll be at ALA? Come by the BOOM! Studios booth (#1471) and say hi!

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Will do! I'm mostly doing job seeker stuff but I am going to at least try to hit most other stuff too.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

I'll be there Friday night for the concert, but that's pretty much it. Hence "maybe" as the closest I could get to "sort of".

[brother-bliss.livejournal.com]

yes and I have seven panels to do.

[kradical.livejournal.com]

I entered "maybe" because I'm not attending officially, as I'll be at ALA Midwinter instead, but I will be showing up under the radar on Sunday night and Monday....

...with the hope that I make it out another year. Several months ago I seriously considered trying to make it out for this one (s00j was just one reason) but the craziness of the past half-year distracted me enough that I couldn't plan for it. And right now it's more important for me to get more settled and trained in my current job than to go to a con. But the taste I got in 2008 at Pi-Con: I'm tastin' that again. *nods like 'Song*
