Here's the link over at ESR. http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1118772
We know you all have been waiting to find out about QuakeCon 2006, and we want to thank you for your patience. We’ve had some unexpected issues locking in the dates and location, but don’t worry, we’re still bringing you another kick-ass QuakeCon event, and it’s already right around the corner - August 3 – 6 in Dallas, TX at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in their Trinity Exhibition Center.
With about 1,800 BYOC spots, QuakeCon 2006 will be a bit more exclusive than it has been the last couple of years, but we hope people will enjoy the more personal touch this year. QuakeCon 2006 will of course include all the great activities that it’s known for, including high-stakes tournaments, workshops, exhibitors, the BYOC Area, parties, and the public’s first chance to play Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.
First-come, first-served online registration for the BYOC area will kick off at 22:00 EDT, 28 June 2006, at www.quakecon.org.
Hotel Information
To reserve a room for QuakeCon 2006, call the Hilton Anatole Hotel at 214-761-7500, or Hilton’s toll-free reservation number, 1-800-HILTONS. To receive our specially negotiated room rate of $125 (single, double, triple, or quad occupancy), and our special daily self-park rate of $5 (regularly $15 per day), you must request the group rate for “QuakeCon 2006” when making your reservations. The Hotel requires a $50 non-refundable deposit on group reservations, which will be credited to your final room bill upon check-out. Rooms at this rate are limited, so don’t wait! Additional information regarding the Hilton Anatole Hotel is available at http://www.hilton.com.
*** The QuakeCon room rate is available starting Monday June 26th at 12 noon CST ***
It is important to note again that the only way to receive the special room rate of $125 and the $5 daily self-parking, is to call Hilton reservations at the numbers listed above and book your reservation under QuakeCon 2006.
We’ll have details about the event schedule and tournaments very soon. Thanks for being patient, and get ready for another great QuakeCon.

I wont bring my computer for obvious reasons, but im sure my brother will let me use his if i pay his way there :D

Sweet. I'll post a news update about it. I like how they refer to 1800 people as "personal" :)

HOLY HOTEL BATMAN!!!
The Anatole is an awesome hotel. I stayed there over15 years ago. One of the first places in the US where 2 pieces of the Berklin Wall sere shipped to plus all of the peacocks out in their property.
Very Very Nice.
Plan on seeing me up there baring any unforseen circumstances. If anyone wants to gange rape a suite, nows the time to get in on the deal.

Welp it looks like I have enough funds to go this year, assuming i get a BYOC Spot. If anyone wants/needs someone to share a room with, preferably getting a group of 4, And would like to split the cost I'd be willing and able :-)

Sleep is for the weak!!!
-
I'll just build a deployable tent mod into my case. Then I can camp, in the games and out.

I stayed there over15 years ago.
Thats older than half the posters. :)
-
Registration starts in 5 minutes... 4 minutes.

Hey guys did anyone else get a BYOC SPOT? or is it just me? because i havent really heard anyone talkimg about and well they wont let you bring your rig into the BYOC without a spot.....zing.
-
I got one.
-
sleep?
Sleep is for the weak!!!
No its for the old. ;)
-
So are JOE and I the only ones signed up?
-
do you have to purchase a seat for you and your pc in order to get in?
-
Nope. You had to sign up for a reserved BYOC slot, but they're all full now. You can still sign up, but you'll be put on a waiting list. Once the con starts, I think you can show up and get a spot on a first come first served basis if people with reserved slots don't show up.
-
Let me rephrase the Q, can I show up, pay a door fee, and shulder surf while you frag?
-
I'm pretty sure you can just show up. I don't think there's a door fee.
-
DPCon is gonna be me vs jits 1v1 for the world title.
-
What the fuss, when are you all gonna bring it to Michigan, Indiana, Ohio.. or somthing much closer. I know 9 people who would go if it was in the state of Michigan, or close to it. Maybe next year, eh?
-
Texas is about as central as it can get. I can't make it close to everybody at the same time. Last year lots of people begged to have it in a central location. Now it is.

-

-
Nope. You had to sign up for a reserved BYOC slot, but they're all full now.
So probably no.
-
aww. . . the day after i heard about it i went on vacation with no internet.
oh well.
-
You can sign up and get on the waiting list, but by now your chances are probably pretty slim.
-
I made a post over on the QuakeCon forums about DPCon. Hopefully that will generate some interest and get some new players:
