Silk she/her Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) WELL. I have finally responded to their very detailed survey, only a week later than I was hoping to, because day job overtime, freelance deadlines, a migraine, a hot water tank that exploded at 5:30 this morning and started flooding our garage, and a plumbing company that didn't return my call until about 6 hours later. I can has treats and alcohol now? Edited December 2, 2018 by Silk 1

I am provisionally impressed, assuming they use it to manage the mess that came out of this year's Worldcon programming.
kais Posted December 3, 2018 Author Posted December 3, 2018 I realize hotels don't open up for another month or so, but there are some really nice Air BnBs right now available in the neighborhood of the convention center. I just booked one for a super reasonable rate. Would be worth checking out in case the hotels go fast or end up being as expensive as the WorldCon staff is warning about. 1
Mandamon he/him Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 WorldCon hotels are open as of today! I've got my room, but several of the nearer hotels are already filling up. Just a hint, you might be able to find better rates on hotels.com if you get some of their "secret prices." One of our choices was less expensive through WorldCon, but was filled up. The other was cheaper through hotels.com. 1
Robinski he/him Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Hey y'all. So, I got my email confirmation this morning of being selected as a Programme Participant for WorldCon. Presuming that you guys did too? Not sure if that means they've picked up the suggested session that was discussed here. Do we have a response on the overall application, @Silk? 1

Silk she/her Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Not yet, but that’s awesome! Keep our fingers crossed…
kais Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 I haven't gotten one yet either, but here's hoping! OH! I found out that the Kilkenny Arts Festival is during the same time we will all be in Ireland. Could be amazing to check out! 1
industrialistDragon Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Well, I just submitted my heckin-long survey. Don't know what balloon animals have to do with sff, but I can run a panel on them if they want it. 3

Err, not sure what I could trade, skills-wise. Have you ever had a hankering to design a roundabout? 1

Oh ye of little faith.. I look forward to being proven wrong then! 16 minutes ago, Robinski said: Have you ever had a hankering to design a roundabout? Actually, now that you mention it, I do have a fictional city that could use a roundabout, but it also has to accommodate mermaids and flying carpets... Honestly though, I just like showing people (especially adults) that they can do balloon animals, no need to trade anything. 1

Still haven't heard anything about our panel or whether I will end up with any role in the program proper--though evidently they're still working on it--but I did get confirmation that I've been selected to present at the academic track. Not sure which paper I'll be presenting yet (they let you submit up to three abstracts; I submitted two, and but am advised that I may or may not be asked to present both), but hey. Neat.

Yeah, the email I got confirming my spot on the academic track said as much, as well. I'm trying not to count my chickens before they hatch, but since you've been selected as a programme participant already, I'm fairly optimistic... 1

Yes, hopefully we can be about the RE panel too, as I have no other qualifications!!
kais Posted April 17, 2019 Author Posted April 17, 2019 Well I got an email asking me to confirm my times available. So I'm officially a program participant, but not sure on what yet. Didn't see anything about tracks or panels or whatnot. 1
