Quote from DRybes:

It's like 450 miles for me. Wish I could but the car isn't in a state of repair to handle that kind of trip.

Not that anyone here would want me there anyway but it'd be cool to personally meet and show appreciation for some of the people who make this site awesome...

1) Hellyeah I'd love to meet you in RL!
2) Answer my freakin' PM already. I sent that thing like, 3 months ago!

My feelings on The Demon Rush

BTW, we talked to the Magfest people a couple of weeks ago, and they have space for an SDA panel, but they're also wondering if we will actually bring in people.

For anyone registering for Magfest, be sure to mention SDA or Speed Demos Archive in your registration (they say there is an area for that), so we can prove to them that people are coming to Magfest because of SDA.

Also, registering as a group would be the best idea, as we save money that way. If you're going to register for Magfest, you can coordinate group registrations with other members in this topic Smiley

Oh yeah, you can also coordinate room sharing if you want to save money on a room.

You got a deletion wish?

I don't know if I'd be interested in going to Mag, but if Nate wants to then sure (since I'm coming via the Nate train)

Everything's better with Magitek

My sister just recently decided she's getting married on January 3, so my plans have changed. I almost definitely won't be coming now, sorry.

Hi! I'm andrewg!

hmm... I might be able to make it for one day. I'm not sure yet. Either way this will probably be kind of pricey. I really want to make it to this and have speedruns faceoffs or something.

I want off the ride....

I have to figure out what to do. I mean I won't be back in florida til the 2nd. I am not sure when my classes start back up either. I would negotiate with my mom about it; but tickets have been booked. (Going to colorado for christmas) SO i guess I can't show up to this SDA get together, might as well take me off possible now.

Talk to the Hand

Nice to hear that SDA is getting a panel. I'll just point out that I have some live speedrunning experience, what with Kareshi and I doing Pianotoads at last year's MAGFest.

You could always split a room with someone <_<

Seems like I have no choice either. Smiley

BTW, don't think I forgot about measuring my pad. Do your handle bars still function properly? Appearantly the pad I bought isn't the most durable, as the support extensions on both sides bent off recently. You can't put your full weight on 'em without the pad's front end lifting entirely, it's really annoying. =\

So if your's have handlebars, then just axe the possibility of mine out of the picture at this point.

I used to be athiest until I realized I was God.

I will probably go, but it's a bit early to decide. If I do, I will be driving there from Eastern MA, so if someone needs a ride, it can be arranged.

i've still yet to make up my mind. keep me as a definite maybe, i guess.

Haters gonna hate

While it seemed like a pipe dream for a while there, it's starting to look like there's a very good chance I'll be able to make this thing. I want to hold off on any official registering and stuff like that in case something stupid happens in the next several weeks, but I should be able to commit one way or the other by Thanksgiving.

Hoping this works out for me (and most of you as well), this sounds like it will be a good time.

If we were to register as a group at Magfest (which sounds like a great idea), when would the sign-up deadline be?

Breakdown: I asked the Magfest organizer about when the deadline was. His response is below.

"We haven't decided on the exact cutoff date for registration, but
it'll be close to the end of December. My guess would be that we'll
close registration around Christmas."

So we have plenty of time to arrange registrations.

MatrixTN: A lot of us will have to meet at Magfest because I can only host so many people. (BTW, if I haven't already contacted you about hosting, then chances are I'm not hosting you)

Also, I'm going to start a group registration list so we can get a discount. If I can get 12 people on the list (shouldn't be hard), then that's a little over 25% off for each badge.

DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS LIST UNLESS IF YOU ARE SURE YOU CAN COME.

Group registration list:

mikwuyma
Enhasa
Nate
Frezy_Man
MatrixTN
stanski

EDIT: updated the first post with this info.

I actually would consider going, but I have no transportation and would have to scrounge up money from everywhere I could.

Hope you all have fun at this, sounds great.

yes, america's most blunted

man, why does it have to be jan 1st... i'm still strongly considering going, but if it means turning down a significant chance to get lucky on new years...

but if don't go, who is going to provoke the riot/brawl with the cosplayers?

who all was carpooling from MA? i'm out in amherst and if i were to go, i would probably need to roll with them.
