Peadar Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 A few panels dedicated to the short stories. Seriously. This is not a drill. Also, when we hit people with swords they really die. But not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAx Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Bar(s) -- good.Bar(s) that don't close -- better.Bar(s) that are free -- best. At least one decent 24/7 eatery within drunk walking distance. A soundproofed hotel room for Lodey. Weatherproof smoking area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LugaJetboyGirl Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I like Paedar's idea of plenty attention given to the short stories, especially everything set in the 'Thousand Worlds' universe. That stuff is really what took it to the next level for me, when it came to my love of GRRMs works. Perhaps something with GRRM's editors. If there is a screening of the Doorways pilot, maybe showings of the Twilight Zone episodes, and the best Beauty and the Beast episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theda Baratheon Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Essential:GRRM Incentivize:Collaborators (Wild Cards authors, cover artists, Bill from SubPress, etc)Costume and armor creators from GoT (saw the lead costume designer give a talk at the Met the other week -- fascinating) Things that would be nice:The people whose scholarship informs different aspects of ASOIAF (historians, armor experts, archeologists, etc)The people whose scholarship builds context while reading ASOIAF (gender theorists, literary critics, philosophers)A steamboat Things about which I care not:Actors on GoT (The ones I've met are very nice, but this aspect of fandom is of no interest to me whatsoever) Everything else I'm brainstorming right now is almost at the level of track programming and even individual programs, which is a bit granular at this phase.agree with this except i'd quite like the smaller of obscure GoT actors or the actors who have read the books.

Coyotes Daughter Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Clearly, BWB members from ages ago coming out of the woodwork are the key to this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunting Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Conveinient location with access to bars accepting of us, plenty of resteraunts to choose from. Maybe even simply create the "Inn at the crossroads" at the con with ale and Arbor gold, food from the series, so we can get the true experience. GRRM available to answer some questions. Again, some actors from the show, stars and obscure alike. I would prefer to focus only on ASOIAF topics and not anything other than it. D&D from AGOT there to answer questions, and no, not to throw stuff at. Decent ticket price, not so low that people who aren't really into it come and crowd it up, but not so high that it turns cost prohibitive. Him signing copies of TWOW!!!!!!!!!!

Yagathai Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 I would prefer to focus only on ASOIAF topics and not anything other than it. Yeeaaaaah. Pretty sure that's not going to happen, whatever form this event might take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamSongs Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 A full pit. Outside. And I like the idea of a swim up bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Stego and Chataya as bouncers because when I picture a BWB party, that is the first image that pops into my mind. Seriously, though, I wouldn't be interested in fan-only panels on this. Have you ever noticed the fan panels on ASOIAF that don't include people from the BWB or George or other collaborators kind of suck because we already discussed that topic 1000x here? Yeah. That's why I only attend con panels with Real Authors™ on them. Anything else might as well be the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targh Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I like the idea of a beer ticket. I'll pay a lot more, turn up and drink lots of beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily Valley Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 ... only with a hot tub. If this is the only thing that happens, I'm in. I like the idea of a beer ticket. I'll pay a lot more, turn up and drink lots of beer. Just hang out in my room. That bathtub is actually just an ice chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Where would this theoretical BWBcon take place? Or I guess the accurate question is: Where would this theoretical hot tub and swim up bar (and sauna) take place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yagathai Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Someplace in the NJ/PA area, most likely. Close to a couple of major airports, reasonable cost of living, high concentration of BwB members, near where GRRM grew up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
