My feelings on The Demon Rush
No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, and this isn't a typo.
We need a new location this year, and I want to start searching preferably by March. The first thing I will be asked when finding a location is, "What are your dates?"
These are the dates that I want to propose for the marathon proper. January 5-January 11, 2014. In other words, Sunday to Saturday, just like this year.
I think we hit our sweet spot with AGDQ 2013. The Sunday to Saturday date range lets people with school and/or jobs stay the entire marathon, including setup day and one day of bonus stream without taking more than a week off. In theory we could extend the marathon by 24 hours, but we were already ridiculously sleep-deprived by the end of AGDQ 2013, so I don't think it's worth trying to extend the marathon further.
Speaking of school, having AGDQ during this week minimizes schedule conflicts with schools. I know some schools start during this week, but most start a week later.
Honestly, unless if someone can think of any good objections, these are the dates we should aim for the marathon proper. Yes, we will still have setup day the day before, and I'll likely have at least a day or two of bonus stream into the weekday.
P.S. I have not planned out a single other thing for AGDQ 2014 so don't ask me about games.
