I am hoping to come next year, and already saving up for flights over there. I would also like to bring my lovely lady but she is in a wheelchair so for whatever venue we happen to be in next year, I would appreciate if there was good wheelchair access for the venue and the accomodation. Other than that, I'm looking forward to this!
If it is still going to be in Washington (or any Eastcoast state), I will be part of this for my first time! Would be a blast if I could come to this and see people I want to encounter
I can host some extra bonus stream (or just provide a crash pad) if people need more time to leave from my apartment, it is right between Reagan and BWI. I have a fairly decent set up (just upgraded computer!) and it is okay with the fiance. I can maybe fit 10 people comfortably, 15 people uncomfortably.
Also I can assist in pick ups/drop off/ food production/blah blah when needed
Yes, I just removed the games mentioned in this thread (or at least on this page). I don't want to hear any games suggestions until I make the games thread, and that won't be for months.
It looks like Bonus Stream should be like last year, we all leave on Wednesday, as far as I can tell.

If the venue does not provide proper accommodations for individuals with disabilities, I would be opposed to going out of principle. Thankfully, I highly doubt this will be an issue.
I updated the title of the first post to reflect the full dates. I won't be trying to find a location for at least two or three weeks. I wouldn't buy plane tickets or anything yet, but at least we have dates.
Toothache: I'm pretty much where butters is on your issue. Like butters said, accomodation shouldn't be a huge issue, but I'll be sure to ask that question.
Carl: Awesome! Just don't leave your tablet this time.
Hey, mikwuyama, do you have numbers on yearly attendance to AGDQ? I'd be interested to see how that has grown, just as how the viewership and donations have grown.
Amazing job with AGDQ 2013, and I'm waiting with baited breath to see what AGDQ 2014 raises.
SO excited for this. You guys have no idea. School for me started on the 17th this semester, so I'm expecting about the same. Hopefully I'll get to stay the entire time, as long as its not too pricey on a college student.
This isn't in regards to the setting of dates, but what's this about ChipIn shutting down? Anyone know anything more than what the site's talking about?
Nevermind that. Anyways, on topic, assuming my classes start a week later next spring, I'll definitely be coming up for the whole marathon. Otherwise, I might only make it for a weekend.

In case you were curious anyway:
Basically, we killed Chipin at the last marathon. When Chipin went down, I got in contact with the former CEO, who directed my email to the owner of Chipin, with a plea to get it fixed (since Chipin basically has zero support anymore). Although I never did get a response from THAT owner, it became immediately obvious when they made that notice on their site. Chipin was likely unmanaged for the past few years (left to die, basically), and we were the nail in the coffin. Once they were forced to address the issue, they apparently decided to take Chipin down for good, rather than try to maintain it.
I will be around to feed people, shuttle people, possibly house people, but I am not available as a hair dresser next year. No one can afford my rates.
