Question, what'll be the easiest way to pay for the house?

Cash, check, or Venmo (app). Can be anytime between now and the con.

The final price is still up in the air, so if you pay in advance I recommend $225. If there's a change, I'll refund you the difference. (If it ends up costing more, I'll just eat it.)

I currently have 16 people who have said they're in for the house. This is the breakdown of sleeping options to the best of my knowledge:

6 double beds
1 queen bed
2 sofa beds / futons
2 double inflatable mattresses

All in 7 bedrooms and also the 2-ish living rooms

If you're staying in the house, you may want to arrange sharing ahead of time! We have more people than we have individual sleeping surfaces so there will have to be some sharing. If it turns out we get a few more people, I'll work out additional sleeping surfaces but it will likely consist of some combination of futon mattresses and/or more inflatable beds in living rooms (or rooms if they turn out to be large enough).

(Andrew and I are sharing so that's 1 bed down.)

There goes my plans then.  Always cock blocking a bro Ash ;_;

As always I am okay with a flat surface if there is something to keep the cold out.

Well, I finally got my time off schedule for the summer. It starts... August 6th!

Sigh... so close. Literally one weekend off. Casting my vote for a later DLC next year. I can't believe I'm going to miss the ten-year anniversary of this event.

I was spitballing the idea of doing a dinner in chat, when Gate noted that the last time we used this house (if it's the one we're both thinking of) the stove in the kitchen looked unsafe.  Was curious if this is still true.

Most likely. The landlords here aren't really motivated to upgrade anything since people will pay twice what it's worth for the space anyway.

I should be over there for a visit soon and then I can give more info. My own kitchen is underequipped for big cooking, too, so.

But hey, maybe the grill is in useful shape this time!

So unless there's any serious objections to it, I'll be bringing Kier along(he's 17 now and way less annoying). We'll chip in for the house, but will be staying at a hotel. I don't have the details for the hotel yet, but if anyone is interested in splitting costs of a room with me lemme know.

You and me both.  Guess we'll just have to have our own DL Con, with blackjack, and hookers.

Recent things in personal life have made it such its probably possible for me to attend but it will be very last minute so I may not be able to :|. I'll see what happens next week. Apologies for the seemingly indecisiveness.

EDIT: I'm most likely out from reviewing the dates. I am looking for a new job and can't be away for that long in case an interview occurs. Maybe mini-meet or something else next year.

Yay and sad simultaneously, Tide. :(

--

We're down to the days before the con, folks! In 2 weeks and 1-2 days, DLC X begins. Please make sure to visit the travel thread (see the first post of this thread for a link) and figure out who you're coming in at the same time as, if anyone, and make sure to know how you're getting to El Cerrito. Andrew will be at work during the week. Andrew has the car. I have a motorcycle and no extra helmet. Try not to bank on having a ride anywhere.

I will most likely continue to be your primary point of contact, but Andrew will be your Cruise Activities Director. He'll post about it tonight or tomorrow night. I'll be taking off from work July 29-August 4 (Wednesday through Tuesday). I will have an interview in there somewhere that'll eat up half my day but hopefully it won't interfere with anything and I can get it out of the way early. 

Easy-to-read list:
  • Contact LD for logistics
  • Contact Andrew for activities
  • Visit the Travel thread to coordinate travel
  • Hotel people, hotel it up - close to W of El Cerrito Plaza BART is close to the house
  • Please, please have some way to pay me when you get here - plan on $175, but it will likely be lower
  • If you're int'l and don't yet have somewhere to stay, let me know!

Tal, Richard, Kappa and I are staying here. 2 miles away from El Cerrito Plaza BART. (Ashley if you can pull the exact house address at any point it'd be appreciated.)

They're all flying into SJC early and I'll be picking them up/handling their departures.
<Eph> When Laggy was there to fuel my desire to open crates, my life was happy.  Now I'm stuck playing a shitty moba and playing Anime RPGs.

We are driving down leaving Vancouver on Wednesday, and whether we arrive on Wednesday or Thursday has yet to be determined. Who is actually planning to be at the house on Wednesday, anyway?

No clue. How precise do you need to be? It's roughly in the Lincoln Ave x Liberty St area in El Cerrito.

Did we ever track down a more specific address? I'll be walking in from the BART station, so I'll want to know exactly where to go.
