Even if they don't join us, it's a chance for board members to socialize.

Which, as we found out from NYCC, is always a good thing. :)

Thank you Mickey Finn. I'll show as early as I can. I'd love the chance to have dinner with Jim and Shannon, if that is available.  I only wish that Turn Coat were out now so that I could get his autograph on it.

If you weren't, I'd be concerned.

Pris, reading material for the plane...read Jhereg, by Brust. Seriously. You'll want to be exposed to his work before you meet him. He is one of those larger than life authors. And Jhereg is short.

Sadly, there are no panels with those three together, because they got added at the last minute.

Does anyone know if I'll be able to meet Jim during his autograph sessions without paying for a badge? I really want to go and get one of my hardbacks signed and chat with Jim, but I don't have that much money to pay just to meet him, nor do I want to spend that much time at the con. (Yeah, basically I'd be going just to meet him.)

And I'm worried that if I don't go next weekend that I'll miss my chance and he won't get back around to the DFW area for quite a while.

Sameth, the whole point of the Con is so people will buy memberships (aka "a badge") and come meet Jim and the other guests, shop at the vendors, etc.  You buy your admission so you can get in.  Paying admission makes the Con possible - how do you think they were able to fly Jim and the other guests in, rent the venue, the sound systems, and do all the other stuff?

No admission means, well...no admission.

Don't be so tragic, man. Think of it as going to a bar to see your favorite band - there's a cover charge AND a drink minimum on top of the show ticket in many bars. I know I went to a number of shows that way and drank the nastiest, cheapest beer I could because my finances were tight... but it was worth it. Did that to see Warren Zevon in a little club; I was about ten feet away from the dude. Worth every penny, despite the fact that I quite literally missed meals over the following week-plus.

You just have to ask yourself if it's worth it to you. Who knows? You might even have fun at the con itself!

It is cheaper to buy the 1 day pass, $20, I think. That's what I'm doing. I will go on my day off Sunday. I work 2nd shift Friday and Saturday.
