I'll also be in New York in about 4 weeks, 8-14 December.  Coming up really fast!  Hope you guys are free for beers sometime

Excellent! We'll be in town, so beers should not be a problem.

I'll definitely be there with you fine folks at LoneStar Con. I cannot wait - this will be my first Worldcon and I am beyond excited. \m/

Aww, it's always nice to see someone attend their first Worldcon.  You should love it!

The Attending Membership prices are at $170 until December 3rd as a 'holiday price'.

[Cuellar]

Nice, probably will buy my membership this week and get my flight booked!

Flight price was a little crappy.  Anyone have recommendations on waiting to book a flight for rates to drop at T-minus 6 months or just doing it now?

I was going to purchase my membership until I was asked what my badge name should be. Should I use my forum name or my real name? Thanks!

[Cuellar]

I used my real name.  At LA I didn't walk around with my badge on anyway, and after the first day you'll recognize people by their hangover.

Just bought my tickets!  My wife and I are coming.  Now we're just scoping out flights... prices seem crappy but should be doable with flight miles on the cheap (50K for business on united).

Just bought my membership!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True, oh so very true!



For the record, as to name badges there is no hard and fast rule that I know of.  I always see a mix of real and board names--whatever works for you is best.

Ok, We're in.  but damn their "purchase" page is bad.  Are there no decent UI designers in this organizing group?

YES!  A mere "like" does not convey how happy this makes me!

Hey, I actually discovered I had $850 in my paypal account I didn't know about, so I was pretty happy.

Payday today, so I purchased my membership at the discounted price.

OOhh, I did not know you were prone to blushing!  I'm always happy to make a man blush!  ;-)

I bought my membership today!  Now to start looking into flights to Austin. I'm flying there first to  meet up with some Con Going friends and we are driving to San Antonio together then flying home from there.

[Lucky Pierre]

As soon as I get a minute I'll update the first post with those that are attending.
