[Sanis Prent]

I vote yes. Dragoncon owned in 2009 and I've been thinking about nerding out hard again.

[Crusader]

Sounds intresting and since I am not a Con virgin anymore since this weekend I guess this will be fun.

[Morgan Evanar]

I'm down for sure.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Think I can do this if it's our 2012 trip

[Miranda Tarkin]

Same as above. I might be able to swing it.

[Morgan Evanar]

Same situation as Em and Dani. It would have to be our trip for the year.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Do we want to do just the Con, or something after also?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I know Liz and I were planning heavily on doing a Bend, OR trip in '12 for our 'Nerd trip' - but now her situation is very much unknown and I don't know if she'll even be coming out next summer as she'd planned. So... I just don't know anymore.

I don't think I will be able to do Dragon*Con though, I'm probably making a big trip out to OK for my parents' 50th and that will be our vacation $ for the year.

[Carré Inirial]

I'm in. I vote for the something after too...I missed it last time.

[Captain Untouchable]

I guess this supercedes EuroNerd then, if this is gonna be people's trip for 2012?

[Morgan Evanar]

We should probably figure this out because Dragon*Con tickets disappear pretty fast.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I'm good with DragonCon. If we're gonna do this, I can get my ticket tomorrow.

EuroNerd will happen one day, I don't doubt, but until we figure a time when everyone in the US has the money and the vacation time to make a successful trip over here, having us Euros travel to the US is the most logical option

[Kassandra Distorith]

I'll have to get mine sometime next month. Stupid god-forsaken morons I work for have been screwing me over the last few pay periods.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Yeah, I hate to say it but I won't be eligible for a third week of vacation until the summer of 2014, so we could always start scheduling now for EuroNerd happening in 2014. Which might be good because we'd have plenty of time to plan and start saving.

[Sanis Prent]

Maybe I'll be a manager by then and I'll have five weeks of vacation, that would be super.

[Sanis Prent]

Do we want to do just the Con, or something after also?

It's a long shot, but the saturday after DragonCon is Alabama's season home opener hosting Western Kentucky. If folks are interested in going to the game, those tickets ought to be nice and affordable.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I'm game for that.

[Crusader]

^^ This is football right?

[Sanis Prent]

College football yeah. 8th biggest stadium in the world, so we will be attending with over 100,000 other people
