The Con people got back to me very quickly!
The 2008 dates are: July 24-27 (Thursday through Sunday, as usual)
This is good news! Most likely, I'll be able to come! I would probably fly in on Friday night (or Thursday at the earliest), so all pre-meets and stuff won't work for me. I just don't have enough vacay time...(damn US and its two weeks a year for us 20-somethings!).
Bri, as others said, I'm up for doing whatever it takes to make this as comfortable as possible for all comers!
So I think I should be able to go, and I really hope tons of people plan on coming. I mean--dozens! We need at least over 20. Even if I have to stop in Iowa and force a certain hat-wearing poster to join us.
Jillikers, I want to be where most people are staying. I guess when people start figuring that stuff out, let me know...

I fugure more room rates will become checkable in mid to late August. I plan to have a place reserved by mid-September at the latest.

Based upon prior postings, I have compiled this list of tentative attendees... of course, plans change; I'm not presenting these as any kind of commitment; I just want to shock and awe everyone, in hopes of recruiting even more:
Cobalt Kid (weekend only: (Thurs 24 eve?) Fri 25-Sun 27) Suddenly Seymour (?) Nightcrawler (local) Pov (fingers crossed) Lightning Lad + Saturn Girl (SLC Mon 21, Vegas Tues 22 and onward; Disney after con (28?)) Kid Prime + Lee Lad (Disney 23 and onward; or Disney/Knotts afterward) Vee (Con only) superboymddjr + friends Michael Grabois + % of LSG (Vegas pre-meet, hopefully, + Con) Monkey-Eater Lad Outdoor Miner Faraway Lad + Gigglebot Girl (Vegas? + SD) Dedman (Vegas + SD) CJ Taylor (Vegas + SD) Rockhopper Lad (train arrival; rules out Vegas unless he gets off at Kingman, AZ… maybe we could pick him up there?) Blue Battler Abin Quank walkingwithcrowds (assuming he’s still interested. Where’s he been?) Fat Cramer (?) rtvu2 Stealth (?) Kent Shakepseare

I'm planning to attend, though who knows what can happen in a year. The train would have been nice, but it would be more practical to fly. Either way, I would probably pass on Las Vegas.

even if we're not selling anything? isn't there a cultural-type table rate? I seem to recall various clubs had tables on the back mezanine areas.

I guess it does say below that you can waive it if you not selling anything. But still...$850! Whew!

well, a small press table is $350. I'll email them after the Con (I'm sure they're very busy right this minute) and ask.

FAN TABLES! I don't think they charge do they? or if they do is it a lot? There's always like the Serenity guys, the Trekkers, the Star Wars, the 501st Legion...
