In order to register a badge for you, I will need...

Your legal name
Your nickname (or forum handle?) if you want it put on your badge
Your mailing address
Your phone number
Your e-mail
Your date of birth

And probably $70 to be safe. If there's money left after buying the badges I can either refund it or hold it towards your room, whichever you prefer. Likewise if they don't let me register your badges for some reason, I'll send the money back to you. You can send all the information above via e-mail to impchan@gmail.com, and you can PayPal the money to that address, too. If you'd rather send a check, please be from inside the US so that my bank does not freak out.

If you have a medical concern that EMTs might need to know about before loading you in an ambulance, please let me know that as well, in case they ask so they can put it on your badge. They do have disability services, as well, that's up to attendees to arrange as needed.

[u]The deadline to get me your money and information, if you want me to register you at the con this year, is going to be August 20, 2013. If you can't make it, don't worry, you can still register at any point during the entire year after that, it just costs more the longer you wait.

Assuming I can get them when I book, I plan to book three rooms at the Hyatt from Thursday, August 28, 2014 until Monday, September 1, 2014 (meaning for four nights, with folks departing on Monday). Because they're in a host hotel, these rooms are likely to be more "social" rooms, and if I can get the two four-person rooms so that they connect I will. For right now, based on this year's rate plus tax for a four-person room, I'm estimating $240 per person, but I'll have final numbers in September of this year. The deadline to reserve a room in my block is December 1, 2013.

Shinimegami, I've got you down as awaiting confirmation just because occasionally boyfriends can be difficult, but once you know for sure I'll move you up. It's looking likely that we will need both sets of rooms... since my headcount including me and Poe and Skjie and WrenDraco and you and your boyfriend is already at three full rooms. WrenDraco, did you decide where you wanted to book your rooms? Also, this idea of feeding people has merit, and when we get MUCH closer to the date we could maybe talk about food preferences and see if we can figure out a way to run a mini-consuite for us without it involving everyone going in and out of Poe's hidey space all weekend. Volunteers for that (thank you Wolfie) are MORE than welcome. The King rooms have space to cook (and handy stone surfaces to work on), but the Doubles are a much tighter squeeze. It can be done (and has been), but it might involve making one room the Kitchen Room and having people in it who are comfortable with late night snack runs from everyone else, or maybe cooking in the rooms with space but serving and stocking drinks elsewhere, or some such thing. I'm not worrying about it right now, it's over a year away, but it's a thing to keep in the backs of everyone's minds. This particular convention has a food court attached to the hotels and numerous restaurants in the area, so there's no need to stress overmuch about food options anyways. ^-^'

I was planning on booking the same place you are so we don't need to be splitting off to different hotels.

Post subject:	Re: Kyhm Forums Reunion Planning Thread
If we do come, we can certainly share a room with others. Wolfie, if I can choose. :D Since he's the only one of you people I've met in person. laughs Oh, and I love feeding people, and that certainly cuts down on trip costs.

It appears that con badges can be bought VERY inexpensively at the con for the following year. I'll be at the con this year, so I'm willing to buy badges for those who are sure they can make it, but the badges are non-refundable. Would anyone like me to do that? ^-^'

I'm hearing that last year it was $65 if you bought at-con for the following year. I'm now attempting to determine if one can buy for people outside one's own household. Edit: Okay, apparently that is a thing you can do, at least according to other attendees. SO, in order to register a badge for you, I will need... Your legal name Your nickname (or forum handle?) if you want it put on your badge Your mailing address Your phone number Your e-mail Your date of birth And probably $70 to be safe.

If you have a medical concern that EMTs might need to know about before loading you in an ambulance, please let me know that as well, in case they ask so they can put it on your badge.

Uh... good question! I think e-mail would probably be best. impchan at gmail When I get home from the doctor today, I'll set it up to receive paypal payments at that address as well. Please don't send them until tomorrow. Oh, and I'll make a chart, because tracking all this info is gonna need one. ^-^'

Hey guys, I still can't make it(unless I win lottery between then and now) but I just want to say I hope you all have a great time and I demand pictures! Impy thank you very much for organising this. It can't be easy to manage all this and even though I'm not going to make it you deserve a good round of applause for the work you're putting in. Now if you'll excuse me I've 76 days until my part-time girlfriend gets back to Australia. Actor.

I'm hoping you win the lotto, Actor, if for no other reason than to find out the hilarious things you'd do with the money (aside from going to the reunion, of course, which is the first reason you should win). And now for another UPDATE! The reunion is being held at Dragon Con 2014. The dates for that are Thursday, August 28, 2014 until Monday, September 1, 2014.

Question: how poor form of it would it be for me to go along to DragonCon, given that it's just one month before I'm getting married? Because that might be...unwise for me. And yes, I'm getting hitched. Actor has met her, and can vouch for her being real human being (and a real hero).

I think probably that is a question for your lady. Does she have any interest in going? Will you be needed to do pre-wedding stuff at that point or will it all be basically set by then? Can you make disappearing for a week also take care of her in some way, like making sure she gets a chance to relax pre-wedding?

Hey guys, I just paid for my badge. So I guess I'm going? Who do I throw money at for the hotel thing?

Author:	Imp-Chan [ Thu Sep 05, 2013 2:28 pm ]
Post subject:	Re: Kyhm Forums Reunion Planning Thread
Okay, so, at this point Omni, Wolfie, and Gazing Rabbit have actually bought their badges. Everyone else (including me and Poe) is still in pending mode. Poe and I are going to try to be in the Artist's Alley, so we won't know about our badges for a while, but regardless I will book the rooms as soon as booking opens up, which is October 16th at 10AM eastern. Money for hotels should be thrown at WrenDraco or me, as the case may be. If we're both booking in the Hyatt, that will be October 16th. As a note, I usually try to request the exact same room every year, which is in the International Tower. The rooms in that tower are smaller, but they're also on a different elevator system and mine in particular has a fantastic view of the parade. Also, because my stay at Dragon Con this year took me to a platinum Hyatt rewards level, in theory the internet in my rooms should be free from now on. I have also learned a few things about meal planning for this con, if that's something we seriously want to do. First is that there are no refrigerators in the rooms, what's there is an electric cooler and it is nowhere near adequate for food for a dozen people. So we either need a large cooler and religious ice-changing schedule, or we need to figure out a way to work around the need for cold things, or we need to figure out how to get a dorm fridge in there, or some combination of those things. I suppose a room might valiantly sacrifice their tub as a cooler full of ice and then use one of the other showers for the duration, but that's kinda... maybe not the best plan, even though it is by far the easiest to accomplish. A microwave is going to be essential, I just can't see us getting around the need for one with so many people. Also, I suspect soups and stews in the crockpot are going to be the best choices for easy feeding of the whole crew, with fresh fruit and veggies to go with. I will do RESEARCH and try to find some that will accommodate a variety of dietary needs. I've heard gluten free already, and I'm allergic to nightshades like tomatoes, peppers and eggplant... are vegetarian or kosher also things to account for? Something else? When it comes to booze... others should plan that. The hotels all have bars, which offer the infamous Dragon Con bucket of rum, but they're crowded and expensive. Room parties often have stuff, but they may or may not include a cover and one does have to be invited to begin with. There are several official parties as well, which sell tickets in advance. It's never been much of an issue for me, as I'm not a heavy drinker or partier, but I suspect as a whole the group might like to have some options. It is technically illegal to bring alcohol over state lines (not that it stops anyone), but more to the point I don't know how many people are driving in and my vehicle at least is likely to be quite full. A booze run on arrival would not be a terrible plan, but I won't be able to do it because I'll be setting up our table (assuming we get one). ^-^'
