Shardlet he/him Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 AARRRRGGGGHHHHH!! Brandon is attending Spo-Con and doing a reading at 5 PM on Aug. 9...otherwise known as MY DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY! So...obviously I cannot go. GRRRRRR! Is anyone else planning on going?
Phantom Monstrosity Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Obviously there's only one option. Bring your daughter, insist that all the signed books are her birthday presents, and that you're doing this for her.
Shardlet he/him Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 Don't think I haven't considered it. 2
Windrunner he/him Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Hey, you're in the Spokane area Shardlet? Nice! I will hopefully be there, although I'm worried that it might coincide with a trip I was taking. I'll gladly skip it though to see Brandon in person. If I make it, I'll be sure to record the whole thing for you 1
Shardlet he/him Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 I am actually in the Seattle area, but my folks are in the Spokane area and we will be just about due for a visit next month. I am most concerned about the reading (if it is not one of the four we already have heard). But I would also really like to meet him and ask a few questions.
Windrunner he/him Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Oooh, I bet. Somewhere he read from Shadows for Silence, and I've been trying to get ahold of that recording ever since XD Are you still planning on going even if you can't make the reading?
Shardlet he/him Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 I am considering going during the day sometime. I just fired off an email to Brandon asking whether he would have a booth and what his schedule would be. If you like, I could pass that info on to you when I get it.
Windrunner he/him Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 That would be excellent, thanks! I'm pretty excited to get ahold of his con exclusive this go-around. Firstborn was brilliant.
Windrunner he/him Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 That would be awesome! You should pop in chat sometime, I'm trying to get a list of good questions going.
Shardlet he/him Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 Right arm!...err, on. You mean the Chatbox thing on the main forum page? I do have a few questions to pose to him.
Windrunner he/him Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Well, you sure could do that. I was speaking more about IRC, which you can find under that chat tab up there beneath the logo. We're #cosmere if you already have your own client or prefer to use freenode. I'm gonna be busy these next few days but I'm usually somewhere about in the evening. You're welcome to pop in too, Chaos
Shardlet he/him Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 So, now in light of the Jasnah Prelude reading from ConnectiCon and its apparent ephemeral nature (i.e., it doesn't appear to have been recorded), I really must demand that one of us attend and record the reading at SpoCon.
Chaos he/him Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I'm thinking of going to SpoCon, but it would really be much more affordable to share a room. Anyone up for it? Windy, still up for that? $113 a night for two queen beds in the hotel the convention is at, so a bit pricey, but definitely a good idea to be in the hotel the convention is at
Shardlet he/him Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Alright, I just purchased my membership to SpoCon. I'll be there on Friday afternoon/evening and I'll be at the reading at 5 PM. We got it worked out. My daughter's birthday party will be on Sat. night to accommodate other family schedules and my wife is taking her shopping on Fri. So, I'm in and nothing got shifted for the purpose of me going to the con. So I am totally in the clear. Edit: I am still waiting to hear back from BS to see if he will be having a booth at the con or some other means of having a Q&A with him. Edited July 24, 2013 by Shardlet
Windrunner he/him Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Being the guest of honor, I would be surprised if he had no booth. You might be better off tweeting him or Peter if you want a quick response.
Shardlet he/him Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Alas, I am twittilliterate. I am not even on facebook. Grumble, grumble, social media, grumble, gag. I'll let it ride a week. Then, I guess I'll start a twitter account , if I have to. Edited July 24, 2013 by Shardlet
Windrunner he/him Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Tweeting at the site, Brandon, and Peter is the only thing I do with mine
Shardlet he/him Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 I know, I know. But I am curmudgeonly proud my non-presence on social media. This forum is really, my only online contribution for the last 15-ish years.
Chaos he/him Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Okay so my reservation is set for SpoCon Need to learn magic quickly I think... I'd rather not sit out of the Magic tournament, but I haven't played it much.
theofficetroll he/him Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I will be there, as will a friend who is a fan of the cosmere. I work until 4:30, so I'm unable to attend the reading she should be there and we will do our best to make recordings :-) Any specific questions anyone wants for me to pose? I plan to be there in an Oculator costume, though as I will have my 5 year old with me most of the weekend who knows what will happen ;-) - Mark (SpoCon Badge TheOfficeTroll)
