Ser Barry Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Yes...I will never be seen again!!! Looks like it will be Antartica for my August holidays. The thought of Pod in his winter coat makes me gooey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven Pointed Star Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 The Marriott still has non-smoking rooms, as of a few minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Total side note: Didn't I read somewhere that Chicago is up for the '08 Worldcon? DOing some research, it seems that the Worldcon in general has a very good relationship with the Hyatt Regency Chicago...and there's always a chance I'll be working at that property in '08...so I'm planning away...vote for Chicago!

Bronn Stone Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hope so Jaxom. Would you mind hooking up Odie and davos with a banquet room for a wedding, right after the Con, cheap? On topic, I am booked at the Marriott. Party on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this Oh, and Bronn, we're not having a reception. I hate those friggin' things. The (very tenetive) plan is to have the ceremony Saturday afternoon, go out for a nice (NOT formal) dinner with the family and the wedding party, and come back to the Con to get plastered. Recpetions suck. And I can't get drunk in front of my parents, so this gives me a way to ditch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyIsabel28 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Wait Odie....did I read that right? Ya'll are getting married at Con??? (Well, obviously not at Con...but close?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odie Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 That's the *plan* - nothing is written in stone yet...... If Chicago wins the Worldcon bid, then probably yes. If it doesn't, probably no... If the con is at the Hyatt downtown, you can rent time in of the rose gardens in Grant Park for weddings... which would be within walking distance. If possible we'd like to do it outside, and coordinate with the Con people for alternate plans due to rain. Anyway, if you're voting on a Worldcon bid for 08 this year, I humbly request that you vote Chicago if you don't really care either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Chicago, Columbus and Denver are in the running IIRC, with Chicago the big favourite. Best of luck Odie!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also heard that Columbus is a pretty far third 'cause they didn't go to Glasgow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barry Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Chicago also put a lot of effort in at Glasgow. They ran two parties in the biggest size room and handed out all manner of free goodies including hot dogs. Any bid which feeds me has won half the fight.

Odie Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Yep. Chicago's all about the hot dogs... I forsee some Knights of the Tubesteak in our future *crosses fingers* How does one go about voting anyway? From what I've seen it involves more money... Then again, I think that goes toward your membership fee, and even if we wern't going to host WeddingCon 2008 I'd still be going.

Mich Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Don't quote me on this but iirc, you pay a certain amount to vote for a site during the convention. If the site you vote for wins then they consider your vote amount as a supporting membership to the con. Then all you have to do is upgrade to an attending membership when you decide to go to the con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
