From the Gen Con Forums:
Badge Pre-Registration begins Sunday, January 24, 2010 at 12:00 noon (Eastern).
Housing opens Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 12:00 noon (Eastern).

I am about 90% sure I am attending this year. My job is currently secure...we'll see if it stays that way.

So who else is planning on attending?

Hotel is go, just waiting on badges to go live. If I can get a better rate through the housing office, I'm all for it (haven't been charged for the room yet even though that was part of the pricing deal for th reservation) but we're set at the Westin for Thursday-Saturday.

Hi,

I'll be there.

Cheers,

I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

I'm going to make a room reservation like last year, but it depends on how much NTRPG Con takes out of me, as well as my financial situation going into the summer :cry:

I plan on attending.

Almost certainly not, unfortunately: I will, however, be at both GaryCon and North TX RPG Con in 2010.

Can't say I'll be there, as much as I'd like to, but if all goes well, I may wind up with something with which I might consider letting Frank do his thang at the auction table.

How does the auction process work as far as sellers go?

Oh, I'm definitely going.

Right now, I'm just deciding how big I'm going, you know? Which hotel/motel/camp, how many nights, whether to bring the girlfriend, etc, etc.

Also, I need to find a new latenight restaturant. The Red Eye Cafe closed!

Knew you'd come through, Frank. Thanks.

Hrmmm... looks like you need to be present in order to have something sold at auction. Which makes sense. I can envision all manner of horror stories in transport before and after.
