DLCon X: Bay Area, the Revenge of the Pacific Ocean, will be July 30 - August 2 in the San Francisco Bay Area-ish.

Other topics of interest:
DLC X - Travel
DLC X - Activities

Housing:

We’ll be staying at Redwood House in El Cerrito, 6506 Eureka Ave., easily accessible by BART (local train), bus, and car. (This is the same place we stayed at for DLC 5.) Lots of sleeping space, decent areas for gathering and playing games of the video and board variety, walking distance to groceries, video games, clothes, restaurants, and a short drive away from the bowling alley and similar delights. It’s a 20 minute train ride to San Francisco. Plus it has a grill that hopefully we can actually use this time!

The house will be open July 29 through August 3. The cost per person depends on how many people stay at the house, but if 15 people stay it’s $215.

Driving:

Very limited, as much because I hate driving as because there really aren't many places that are easier to drive to than take a bus or train to. Nevertheless, I'll be looking for a couple people who want to help for the day or two we'll need to go off the bus paths.

It's possible to use local car-share services (Uber, Lyft, Sidecar) as well, though I'm not certain how well-served the area around the house is.

So... who's coming?

Yes yes yes.

Yaay!~

Dhyerwolf · « **Reply #4 on:** September 30, 2014, 11:26:27 PM »

Definitely!

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #5 on:** October 01, 2014, 12:08:29 AM »

In, of course.

Nephrite · « **Reply #6 on:** October 01, 2014, 12:12:04 AM »

Pencil me in for this.

VySaika · « **Reply #7 on:** October 01, 2014, 03:01:14 AM »

Oh, hey, a san fran con I don't have to host. :in:

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #8 on:** October 01, 2014, 03:12:44 AM »

Pencil me in as a maybe.

First week of June would work best for me. My lease is up at the end of June, and would probably be moving back to NJ or somewhere the fuck out of Florida, so the earlier before that the better.

NotMiki · « **Reply #9 on:** October 01, 2014, 03:53:20 AM »

Solid Maybe. As usual I'll let you know whether I'll be coming hours, perhaps even days before the con starts.

superaielman · « **Reply #10 on:** October 01, 2014, 05:05:43 AM »

Probably in, bay area is fun for cons.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #11 on:** October 01, 2014, 05:41:03 AM »

My current feeling is "okay if I have to quit and get another job afterwards I'll be there". I mean, #10 mang.

You want a hand moving Bro?

DragonKnight Zero · « **Reply #13 on:** October 02, 2014, 09:17:50 AM »

Tentative yes. Already have commitment July 17 and 18 and the surrounding days are likely to be eaten up as well.

Excal · « **Reply #14 on:** October 02, 2014, 09:23:47 AM »

I am interested. But will confirm nothing unless/until I manage to acquire a passport and a method of getting down there.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #15 on:** October 02, 2014, 02:56:22 PM »

Will almost certainly be there.

Carthrat · « **Reply #16 on:** October 02, 2014, 03:16:51 PM »

Hey, I'll try to swing it. Does anyone live in LA, btw?

Niu · « **Reply #17 on:** October 02, 2014, 04:51:31 PM »

I'll be attending.

LA as Los Angeles or Louisiana?

Carthrat · « **Reply #18 on:** October 03, 2014, 12:06:32 AM »

Los Angeles.

Dhyerwolf · « **Reply #19 on:** October 03, 2014, 03:19:49 AM »

Niu and I live in L.A./LA adjacent areas.

metroid composite · « **Reply #20 on:** October 03, 2014, 07:05:53 AM »

I definitely don't give a fuck about missing independence day. #canada

I probably don't give a fuck about missing E3 either. Didn't even bother going this year. (GDC you can pry from my cold dead hands, on the other hand). Maybe other people care about E3 though.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #21 on:** October 03, 2014, 09:28:04 AM »

As a note, travel costs during July 4th weekend are much higher than the surrounding weeks usually.

Lady Door · « **Reply #22 on:** October 03, 2014, 06:12:31 PM »

E3 is something I might have to do, depending on where in the release cycle my products are. I say "have to" though I love the spectacle of the show and wouldn't mind a reason to go down to SoCal and probably justify visiting friends and (Andrew's) family without having to pay my own airfare.

As for 4th of July travel, I wouldn't say they're much higher than the surrounding weeks, but they definitely are higher. The decision comes down to whether we want a June con or a later July con. It's all summer fares either way, whee.

Poll
1. Who prefers a June con?

June 4-7
June 11-14 (potential conflict)
June 18-21 (potential conflict - also Father's Day)
June 25-28

2. Who prefers a July con?

July 2-5 (Fourth of July)
~~July 9-12~~ (hosts at SDCC)
July 16-19 (potential conflict)
July 23-26
July 30-Aug 2

Niu · « **Reply #23 on:** October 05, 2014, 09:44:06 AM »

I am against 7/4 con.
As we might run into potential heavy traffic.

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #24 on:** October 05, 2014, 05:49:55 PM »

Late June would be my preference; it's weirdly harder for me to get away from work during summer school months (July-August). I'm not yet 100% sure I'll even be teaching then but if there are no other major preferences that's certainly my vote.
