NYCon Vs SanFranciscon

<< < (5/15) > >>

tania:
yeah i think buscon is a wicked idea and would be much better than simply nycon or dcon because that way the people who do want to only see one city and not both still have that option and the people who want to see both can see both and everyone who wants to go to a northeast meetup ends up pretty happy. i'm pretty sure if a meetup in nyc is what ends up happening there are going to be at least a few people who will plan a trip to dc as well now that we know the trip will be cheap and there's been so much discussion and excitement about it (jon, jens, allison, myself, maybe others?), so we might as well operate on the assumption that an nyc meetup will actually be a trip to both nyc and dc respectively and then whoever wants to show up to each one can.

Boro_Bandito:
Being as I'm between both NYC and D.C., Buscon sounds like the freaking plan for me. There's a really good chance I can go to NYC for a weekend, and if by some off chance I can't go D.C. is only about 45 minutes away and I can stop and grab people like Sean on the way down to visit the other forumites. In fact I think this might bring some of us Marylanders out of the woodwork just because we've never bothered to organize our own meetup, and it'd be much easier to latch on to the main one.

Lines:
There is no way I'd be able to save enough money to go out to SF, so I'm voting for NY. (Unless I actually do save a shit ton of money, which is severely unlikely, I'd rather go to Europe.) Sorry Cali people.

Buscon does sound fun, but I dunno if I'd be able to do it.

David_Dovey:
I am all over BusCon like the rash I would probably get from riding in the bus.


--- Quote from: Jordan ---And I think the people who are gung-ho for DC don't really understand the Con too much since they keep talking about museums and stuff.

Huh? I thought that was people generally did at these things? They went to interesting places and had hijinks. I'm pretty sure there are hella hijinks to be had at the flippin' Smithsonian. And even museums et. al. is not something that was done at other cons, then who says that it has to be that way in perpetuity for every Con?

I did not vote because I'll go wherever the Internet tells me to.

Johnny C:
i hate to shit on everyone's sundae but buscon sounds kind of like a really great way to try and coordinate 20 people to miss a lot of not one but two great cities

e: like, it looks really great on paper but logistically it will probably be a total nightmare
