Knight of City of Bayonne Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 A bear there was, a bear, a bear! all black and brown, and covered with hair. The bear! The bear! Took my coonhound out to pee a few minutes ago and he went wild with baying and tugging at the leash. We walked around the corner of my house, and there was . . . a bear. I'm now on the lookout for the maiden. Must be an omen to perform the song at a MidAmeriCon filk. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't bring it within reach, but I appreciate the offer! You will be having so much fun you won't even notice I'm not there. Meanwhile, I will be crying in my cheerios while I look at photos of tiara-wearing BwBrs and all the related hi-jinks. I'll have to FaceTime you in throughout the weekend because we will certainly feel your absence. :grouphug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosts Companion Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Holy crap time is going fast and I am totally unprepared for this. Luckily it only a 3 hour drive for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been entirely too long since LoneStarCon, & I am so looking forward to experiencing another Worldcon. Got our memberships fully paid off for both myself & my husband! We'll be joining Amber, Marcus, & Jay this year. So looking forward to this. Going to home brew some beer to share for the occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillWork4NinjaPowers Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 On 6/8/2016 at 9:31 PM, Let's Get Kraken said: So I've been posting on these boards for a while and lurking for a few years now, but I've never been to a BwB meetup. I'm really looking forward to MACII though. It seems a lot of you folks know each other already, and I'm always a bit apprehensive approaching a close knit group as an outsider. Do you guys get a lot of new people showing up at the parties and meetups and such for these things? Last year I went to my first thingamuhjig that people from the board were at, and they were so nice! I'm a weird person, and everyone was great. I even hung out with Lily in NOLA with my family (because she's awesome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'll give this convention thing a try. I will be there. Registered and booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbigski Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 At this point, I'd say it's more likely than not that I'll be attending. Rooms are probably the stickiest wicket, so if anyone wants to share, PM me. I'm too large to share a bed, and am apparently a light not that occasional snorer (though more so when I've been drinking I've heard...). Otherwise, my hygiene is generally acceptable and am a tolerable room mate. As far as outside activities, I'd like to hit Kaufman Stadium, the Negro Baseball HoF, and BBQ. And maybe check out one of the local poker rooms one night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlle. Zabzie Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Ok, except for the fact that there is no Elder Sis, I'm officially totally pumped. I will need all y'all experienced folks to help me out, bc I will clearly have no idea what I'm doing Yay yay yay!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beniowa Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Zabzie, it's pretty simple: Go to a discussion panel or reading or signing or two (a lot of us will be at George's events). Hang out and get drunk. Browse the dealer room. Eat fantastic food at whatever restaurant Boiled Leather finds. Get drunk. Hang out some more. Get totally shit-faced from an outlandish cocktail creation at the BwB-party and stay up until 5am. Maybe go to the Hugo ceremony. Get drunk. I don't do the drunk stuff so much, but you get the gist.

Looking more like Sunday because of Move In for the Exhibit Hall starts Monday. I should have some time Wednesday does anyone want to go to the Negro League Baseball Museum? Connie Willis recommended a Arthur Bryuant near there for BBQ. I'll be arriving at MCI at about noon on Wednesday, and the Negro League Museum in on my KC wish list. So let me know if your schedule is such that I'll be able to tag along. Plus for the BBQ! On 6/21/2016 at 4:09 PM, Ser Scot A Ellison said: That stinks. We have one more slot in our room if splitting a room at the Marriot 4 ways brings this within your reach. Scott, I just booked my flight, so count me in as discussed for the room split.

Also, there is usually a BWB Meet'n'Greet early in the convention, where our Overlords and Overladies collect party funding and encourage being a convention volunteer. Be there if you can -- it's the best place to see who's around, make dining plans, &c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
