Knight of City of Bayonne Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Anyone going? The Trinoc con website is painfully unhelpful in describing what George will be doing on each day. I was hoping someone here might shed some light. Just in case, I did book a room. About an 8 hour drive, or by train. Or maybe Continental from EWR, about 3 some hours with the security contingent time. Or if the weather is good and forecast to remain so, a bit under 3 hours by the Cardinal. Decisions, decisions. Would need the OK for a vacation day on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Goldbricker, The very front page of Trinoc-Con's site lists George's schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldbricker Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Goldbricker, The very front page of Trinoc-Con's site lists George's schedule. I don't think it does a very good job of describing the events, however. Thanks to everyone that replied. Hope to find some new friends and talk to some cool people while I'm there.

Ran Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 They're rather straightforward. "Meet the Guests" is a typical sort of meet-and-greet reception, where the guests and vistors to the con can mingle. The reading the next day needs no description. The Heroes and Villain panel doubtless will broadly discuss the topic -- heroes and villains -- in terms of things like what makes good heroes and villains, memorable heroes and villains, do we actually need identifiable heroes and villains, and whatever else the panel gets into its head. The scriptwring across media is a bit obscure, but I would guess that here they're looking at differences between TV vs. film vs. theatrical vs. comic book script writing. Building Bridges is certainly obscure -- could be any number of things. The collaboration panel is also fairly obvious. The only thing I wish they'd do is give more of an idea of who the participants are on the panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I asked around and I've received some informative posts and pms. Yours hasn't really been one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I have to ask since being rude to Ran is not generally accepted by anyone on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Goldbricker, I'm not trying to convince you that the Trinoc-Con site is _really_ informative, especially for a person who has never attended a con and so doesn't have a frame of reference for what programming tends to be like. I was attempting to helpfully explain what you could expect from the program items, drawing on my "extensive" (heh) SF con-attending experience. Surely you're more informed now about what the program items mean than you were before I explained it. If not, horse to water and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I know I'm new here and should tread lightly, but go back and take a look at Ran's posts. He was acting like I shouldn't be asking the questions I was and was being all defensive about the Trinoc Con website like he wrote it or something. Besides I don't think I was exactly ATTACKING him. Just a little nudge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little nudge. No, he was just answering the questions with descriptives. that's all. In all seriousness, if this back and forth bothered you, I would strongly advise you to avoid General Chatter at all costs. Thar Be Dragons in comparison.

dornish prince Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 wow... "these directions are a little obscure, don't you think?" "well, what i think they mean is...."

I could try to explain it more but it belabours the point. Feel free to PM me if you wish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Thanks for weighing in, folks, I appreciate it; but really, it was just a misunderstanding, so I don't think we need to dwell on this any longer. Have a good time with the BwB and George in Raleigh, Goldbricker. If anyone finds out what the 'Building bridges' panel is about, let me know. I hope it won't reveal that GRRM has been spending all of his time playing Pontifex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
