I hate making this post for like the third year in a row, but travel stuff still doesn't look good. Shame 'cause after watching the last marathon I know it'd be awesome to be there. I can assure you I'll be watching it as much as possible, though.
I should be there. and I should be able to run the same games I did last year - I'll probably be able to do 100% runs of all the Marios too, if you guys want.
Put me in the "definite" list for the marathon. I'd never miss these annual things, you know?
As for MAGFest, I'm unsure. On one hand, I'm a total moron and keep wasting my money on that horrible convention every year, so tradition says I should do it again. On the other hand, I'm not sure how much this year is going to cost. If it costs too much to stay at the rental house (assuming it's kept for MAGFest too), I might either skip it entirely or simply show up for one or two days if Dad works in the area.
So yeah, short version: Definite marathon and maybe MAGFest.
I ought to be able to make it, but since this is my first year as a grad student I don't know what kind of time off I will have. Maybe a week off will be ok, but I don't think I could do MAGFest. Uhhh...put me down for unsure for both I guess. :/

Don't make me punch you out just so we can have our ActRaiser race.

Haha, sorry! I really am planning on going, but school comes first. I think I can do it since my advisor is somewhat lenient, and classes resume mid January so that might be OK, but I don't want to commit for sure unless I know for sure that I'll be there.
Trust me, I want to race just as badly. It's a fun game!
Aiming for showing up to the marathon, got a small wrench to clear out first. once thats all clear i'll let you know yama, so i'm Planning but i need to kick this one things ass first.
From what I've been able to figure out about my potential January schedule so far, I shouldn't have any conflicts. I'd say I'll definitely make it to both.
Good thing I was able to get internet long enough while here.
I am definitely going to the marathon, but I don't know at this point if I will be able to come on the 13th or not. Put me down for now as definitely coming on Friday, at the very least.
For MAGfest, I would have to find out by that point if I'm able to take enough time (from whatever job, if any, I have then) off to go to that at the end of the next week.
As said in the other thread, 90% chance of the Marathon(Need money estimates, particulary for the vacation home and any I might need(not included travel fare, which I'll deterine myself)), MAGfest will be dependent on how much money I'll need for that alone.
Updated the first post. I'm sure I missed someone yet again.
Mickey_Mage: That date is for MAGFest, not the marathon. The marathon date will be Jan 6-10. I put up a notice on the first post to reduce confusion.
Axel: The rates I've been seeing have ranged from 1500-3500 dollars a week, which doesn't include the cleaning fee and security deposit (refundable). Now if you take the roughly 30 people who have signed up so far, I would say getting a house for the week would range anywhere from 80-130 dollars per person. Mind you, this doesn't include food or anything else.
throw me in as a coming no matter what, because as a worst case (like if i get jipped by my boss) i'll probably have quit my job by then and will be heading to california for school after the event

My bad, didn't read the post on the first page very well and forgot from the other thread it was the 6th. Thanks for that. Yea, I'll make the friday for marathon no matter what.
