Who's going?

Take pictures.

When not on the convention floor I'll be mostly at the Sheraton pool bar. Look for the obnoxious punk with the pitcher of beer. =)

Cheers!


Edit: If anyone wants to meet up to talk smack about the Zam community, shoot me a PM which I can check before 9:30 PST, Thursday. Here's to phat lootz!

God it would be awesome to drop everything and go to Cali for a gaming convention...

In my dreams. I'm a big boy now :(

If you planned it out months in advance, it wouldn't be dropping everything - we'd call that vacation ;-)

I can be a big girl and still go to the convention.
Of course it kind of helps that I live within easy driving distance of the Convention Center...

Oh - yeah - I will be there.
I'm not sure what all my plans will be though since my boyfriend is lining up people for us to get together with. Heh

I wish I was going. Tenacious D live would make the price of admission worth it by itself. Smiley: frown

I'm going.

I don't think the Best Western has a pool bar... damn. Oh well, I'll be the old guy sitting by the cereal bar eating Raisin Bran. Smiley: cool I'll be wearing the "I want my, I want my, I want my VPD!" t-shirt. (Not really, but I need one of those.) Smiley: lol

This will be my 3rd Blizzcon. The first one (2007) I had confused with how a MacWorld convention works and wandered aimlessly, missing most of the panels. The second one (2009) I hit all of the panels. This year, I'm ready to ask a question! "When are we getting guild housing?" Smiley: grin

Look at your Blizcon attendee. Now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me.

Had a glimmer of hope when I joined a contest, but I didn't win, so eh. California's way too far off for me here.

True enough.

I was just pouting ... FML I miss being a student and playing WoW until 6am and planning vacations on a whim.

I already know the answer. It's "never."

They've already stated they don't plan on personal or guild housing.

I probably joined the same contest Mozared did, but alas I didn't win either. So I'm stuck starting my first week of work and not being able to go to Blizzcon or play wow!

Have fun, and be sure to tell us everything that goes on!

Looks like a fair number of you are going. I expect Alla to be well represented in the dance contest. Have fun and be sure to post your thoughts when you get back.

I'll make sure to talk about you! :)

Therion, I'll have to go to the gallery to see if you're there. I don't think I even know what you look like!! wtf! Spartak, too. I was thinking about this last nite. So excited to meet all the Sparklies who are going!!!

I'm going. In my hotel room now. I will be sure to mention pigtails at least once on site, just to say that it has been done. Something insightful, yet nerdy such as pigtails making integration by parts seem easy, or pigtails violates the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.

I'm the one with the backpack which looks just like the argent squire's. Okay, okay, now I'll get there and twelve of us will all have had the same brilliant, evil plan.

I tried getting a ticket by purchasing it on the website. I entered many contests for a ticket. No luck on either one.

It's a 30 minute drive, 45 or so in traffic, for me to get there.

Watching the stream myself atm. I recognized one guy, from Sc2mapster - he asked a question at the SC2 custom map panel. WoW wise, there really doesn't seem to be much new so far? I've already heard or assumed pretty much everything that has been said so far ('at the moment' means at the end of the first day), except for some lore details like "the focus will not be on Garrosh, Thrall will play a bigger role (and turn into the earth dragon element)".
