boiled leather Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Sweet - will definitely keep an eye out for the BWB pins :)Haven't booked a room yet, but thought it might be worth checking to see if there are any other ladies who are looking for roommates?Sooner or later you'll meet some locals who have no excuse not to go. its only a 3.5 hr drive (or so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nim Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Kat, sounds good - PM me if it doesn't work out with your friend, I assure you that I'm a very normal sort of person! :D boiled leather - that's my hope!(and can I also just say, that after finally reading through the history of this thread, I'm very excited by the prospect of a Quest, although I have no idea what that might entail...something about...erm, a brothel? I think?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 nim-The quest is generally for a local food. For example, at LA, the quest was for hotdogs from Pink's, and at Montreal the quest was for poutine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beniowa Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ah ok - that sounds much better :) Not sure where I got brothel from, I must have been reading through the posts too quickly...nim, that was my fault and Chataya's. Chataya expressed an interest in going to one of the local, legal brothels to see what the places are like and I jokingly suggested making a drunken quest out of it. As for going to Reno, I'm afraid I'm going to have to count myself out. I had to use up vacation time earlier this year and now I don't have enough left to make it to the con this year. Chicago 2012 or bust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smofbabe Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Does anybody know if Worldcon Memberships can be transferred to somebody else?I very much plan on going there, but it's quite a long time til then, and who knows...You can find the information about how to transfer a membership at http://renovationsf.org/transfers.phpCheers,Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veira Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hey! Long time no see, glad to see you're coming. :thumbsup:Thanks! :) And thanks for giving me the heads-up about it way back whenever it was. I've been meaning to visit Reno anyway, so this is the perfect excuse.I probably should have mentioned that I have an open spot in my room. I'm hesitant to fill it until I know where I'll be this summer, since I might be interning somewhere that won't allow me to take half a week off, in which case I'd have to cancel my reservation. In that event I'd be happy to transfer my reservation to one of you, though I don't think hotels usually do that. I don't really think that'll happen anyway, since wherever I wind up, I'll be telling them from the get-go that I'll be out of town on those days. But anyway, for the record, I've got a room at the Atlantic with space for one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTinyKittens Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Having read about all the BwB fun, I'm pretty excited - just need to get some minor employment matters sorted before I'll know. I will likely miss the reduced price (perhaps have already?), but if things work out to my satisfaction then there shouldn't be much trouble anyway :)It would be pretty awesome to finally meet some of the fine people whose posts I've read over my year or two here - hopefully a few will recognize at least my screenname!

boiled leather Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 so, i'm trying to finalize our plans. as a "world con rookie" what are the pros and cons of which hotel? The Atlantis is sold out at "the con rate" but there are still plenty of rooms. Atlantis? Peppermill? thoughts? rants? stuff like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LugaJetboyGirl Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Well, I would say that if you have the money, the best place to stay is in the actual con-hotel (Atlantis). It's incredibly convenient and means you aren't stuck at the con all day far away from your room. It also means you only have to stumble to the elevator after the con parties.But if you want to go with the con rate, the Peppermill should be fine. Lots of BwB will be staying there and you will see lots of con people hanging out in the bar and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atlantis is sold out at "the con rate" but there are still plenty of rooms. Atlantis? Peppermill? thoughts? rants? stuff like that?I personally like the idea of being out of the hubbub. I'd rather walk a block to Con events but be in a 'regular' hotel. I am fussy about noise when I am trying to sleep though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlingzen Bill Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 When does the party planning go beyond the basics? I am assuming that the suite is already requested, but there are a lot of precon things to organize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
