    Hey folks!

    The Convention is coming up quick on us and time to think about those final plans.

    There have been several updates on the website http://sotaicon.org/home.html so go check out the latest news there.

    In the meantime......

    I'm now looking to get lodging in place for the event.

    Is there anyone who already has a room booked and is looking to save a few $$ and share? Let me know.

    OR

    Looking to still book a room and share?

    Hit me up here or find me in discord http://discord.me/nbnn

    Thanks,

    Laz

    If anyone hasn't got a room yet, I just reserved a king bed room for Fri/Sat nights and would be okay sharing with one or two people. Note that this is only one bed, but it's a big one (I sleep on the edge and don't roll around), and there should also be a couch and you can probably get a roller bed from the hotel, or you can bring an inflatable or something.

    Unfortunately, I won't be making the trip. My wife is having a mastectomy on Wednesday and I wouldn't feel right leaving, even for a few days, a couple of weeks later. Hope everyone has a blast always good to see folks a nput a face to a name.

    I have a room booked at the Renaissance (where SOTACON was last year) and they refuse to cancel the reservation, so if anyone wants it, let me know - we may be able to make a deal :)

    I won't be able to make this year's but hopefully next year I can since Oct is slow for me.
    Will those attending be able to share here what they learn from the convention? Can someone perhaps ask about a possible timeline of when Ep2 content could be released?

    Thanks!!

    Is there some kind of coordinated travel from the hotel to the events away from the hotel? Or, are we on our own for that? (specifically looking at the vip events on Thursday).

    No, there is not coordinated travel to and from satellite events as the attendance of the events are optional.
    Last year there was coordinated travel to events that were not official convention events, but that were hosted by an individual or group that elected to offer that amenity to attendees that purchased a ticket to their separate event.

    It be nice to have some directions on where to meet for a couple of the things. Specifically, the VIP events on Thursday. Do I just grab a cab to Castleton Estate around 9:30am on Thursday morning? Since I haven't been there before, I don't know how best to get there. Thanks!

    The convention hotel is ground zero, and map links are provided on the agenda. http://sotaicon.org/agenda.html

    Question: Opal Devines on Thursday, the map links to one down at I-35 and Oltorf, but toward the end of the schedule text is the Mopac location's address. Which one are we going to Thursday?
