I'm curious how many people from the community are going to be at QuakeCon. I'm trying to decide if it's worth setting up a DPCon there or not.
-
It's too close to me not to go, but it all depends on work.
-
I'm too poor and busy. :(
-
I put a request in to get it off, if I do, I'll see you guys there.
-
Ok, so its mostly too poor and my parents agreeing to let me go. :P

<<<< Canadian
I have a hard time getting there and back, and a place to stay.
And i dont really have the money to do this.
-
I´m on the wrong continent :(
-
I'm going to try and make it down there. Since i don't play quake at all anymore. I guess if there is no DPcon. why even go lol.
-
Parents would never let me travel alone plus i got my own ij clan in walking distance.

This should answer all of your questions on costs, what it is, where it is (Hilton Anatole hotel), when it is (August 2nd starting in the morning, ends the 5th at noon), etc.
http://quakecon.org/faq.php#q17
As for the address:
Hilton Anatole
2201 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas, United States 75207
Tel: 1-214-748 1200 Fax: 1-214-761 7520
Of course, there's plenty of cheap hotels nearby, but if you want to stay at the Hilton with a couple of other people or something to lower costs, they have special group rates and such for the event:

You can look on the main page to register for BYOC, look down about 3 news (but you'll be on a waiting list):

So when do we become friends?
-
Always have been... In fact we were lovers at on time (in the lovely painted world of DP)
On a serious note, catch a ride with Knack and his wife for the FREE steak dinner. You're always welcome here. Kiss Kiss Craigy *Muah* Heh
-
Im coming from Atlanta. =] If no one comes ill organize a 1 v 0 and have a prize for the winner, most likely myself.
-
I don't have quake but if we play dp me and gonass might come to it. :D

I don't have Quake either. And I was in GameStop the other day looking to buy it, but I couldn't find it. Couldn't find Doom 3 either (only found the expansion). So I bought Command and Conquer: The First Decade.
-
Dawn of War is fun.
-
Not many people actually play quake at QuakeCon. :) Ok, well, maybe a lot do, but it's not like it's the only thing that gets played. There are tons of things going on there.
This might give you a better idea of what you're in for: http://jitspoe.planetquake.gamespy.com/events/quakecon_2006.html
-
If it were closer to my house i would definitly go with my clan because they live near me.
-
Dawn of War is fun.
Eeeeeh.
-
Any of you guys play star craft brood war besides reaver.
-
Mhm.
-
I'll be there at QuakeCon this year. :)
-
So I guess that means I wont be playing a 1 v 0, oh well =]
-
Um. I will start a manual slap in the back of the head for those not playing quake and exclaim "Quake is your god idiot, forsake all others."
I am sure to make lots of friends that are not one already.
-
what's this?? a l33t event that's actually within driving distance? :D interesting ... but i still probably won't go.
actually, after reading jitspoe's dissertation on the 2006 event, it seems that it could possibly have been held in dallas since who knows when.
..exactly. i am teh antithesis of hardcore leet gamer, i know nothing. but most of such people started young. i, however was not afforded such a luxury.
**stops before he gets into a rant about how he wishes he was awesome at gaming and other extra-leet computer stuff**
:'(
..but it's probably all because the parents can't afford broadband.
**stops before he gets into a rant about being semi-poor when all his friends aren't**
ah well. i get like this when i'm tired. :-\ good night.
-------------------
-------------------
oh ... loial: (sheepishly) i've never really played quake. but you might have already guessed.
-
Umm .... yeah. Consider ur-self slapped from a q2 hard coded mofo as described above and hopes you can make it any way but loose.
God bles ameriquake.
*edit I love you all the same.
-
Really struggling with this decision here. If I go, I'll be home for one week after I get back from this vacation and be off again. Plus I forgot to look into getting tickets earlier, so I'd have to pay over $400 for plane tickets now.
-
$400 doesn't sound that bad. How low would it have been if you gotten them earlier?
-
Tickets are less than $300 if purchased early enough. Maybe even less than $250. The other problem is vacation time. I only have 3 days of vacation left. That's it. It's barely enough to cover QuakeCon, but then I won't be able to take any more time off for the rest of the year, and I know I'm going to need to take at least 1 or 2 more days off. Looks like I just won't be able to make it this year. I apologize to the 3 people who are planning to go, but I'm sure you'll still have plenty of fun with the other QuakeCon events. Be sure to check out the hypnotist if he's there again this year -- most entertaining thing I've seen in my life.

Heh, for some reason I ran across some pics of that on J's Joint. You were with the kid with a weird name.. Bjork? I don't know.
-
just got my ticket, who else is going?

I'll be at the HelpDesk this year! :D
-
Say "hey" to Jehar for me. He'll probably have some ghetto TastySpleen banner up somewhere.
-
It's in like a week, right?
I'm not going, but I'm probably going to CPL in Dallas labor day weekend.
-
Myself, Lore, and a couple others from GGC will be at QuakeCon. :)
-
Now I wish I had more vacation days left. :-\
You guys going to go again next year?
-
Make it in germany, than i come :D
-

We could kidnap you. Then you'd have a story to tell at work!
Of course we'll be there next year. Still, you need to find a way to be there this year!

$600 for plane tickets and not enough vacation time left. :(
Of course, if enough people donated to let me work on pb2 full time, money wouldn't be an issue and I could take vacation any time I wanted to...

I'm sure you could find away other than selling DP. Sponsors maybe? Somehow?
-
I don't know how much Jts makes, maybe close to what I make, but even if you took that in half, I don't imagine Jits could make 35-40/hr from sponsors.
-
Poop. Well, there goes that idea...
Wow my job sucks (7.5/hr).
-
worth? meaning what? the other DPCon's had like 8 people, most of which no one has ever heard of. lol.. what would make it worth it? 10 people?
