Apparently my pre-reg didn't go through... :evil:
I had plans to arrive on thursday night, is that possible with early reg?
Please tell me I'll be able to have fun thursday and won't be sitting in my hotel room, waiting to get my badge on friday?
Unless you can "convince" people to let you in. (Which, of course, would be easy for you.) Thursday night's events are pretty much pre-reg only. Shame.
But hey! You've got a hotel room Thursday night! I'm sure there are plenty of things to do, and I'm sure you'll have dozens of friends there, Meli... *I'll* entertain you, if no one else comes to your rescue. (We could go grab sushi to kick off the weekend's celebration. Or rebel and have Italian food.)
Anyway.
The usual set up: the Dance, Swap Meet, some screening rooms.
Previous posters: You guys forgot (or didn't know about?) Swap Meet Thursday night (as has been in the previous two years). That's one of the main reasons I bother with pre-reg... that, and the at-con-reg line. And it saves staff energy. And a happy staff is a good staff.
However, I've not yet seen Swap Meet sign ups. It could not be happening this year. It would be a shame if it weren't. (There seems to have been many changes made for this year... Tabletop, Wild 94.9, Stage Zero... hmm.)
However, you do not need a badge to be "at con"; just to attend any of the events/screening rooms/dance/whatever's happening Thursday night. I say: come anyway!
It's coming soon, people! *cosplay/finals crunch time*
