I do believe in stupid questions and this probably is one. But is defcon 21 confirmed for the RIO? I can not remember if it was stated at closing ceremonies last year or not.

Re: Defcon 21 location
You didn't get that message? I thought all registered forum members did... Oh well.
You could check the main Defcon website to see when and where it was going to be. If it wasn't canceled, that is. Too bad though.Of course its fully cooked... we had it set on "linen".

Re: Defcon 21 location
Tickets go on sale the day the con starts (thursday). Cash only, at the door, or you can pay $20 extra and buy them in the dark alley next to the bar to avoid the line. The trick is to find one of the guys in a defcon shirt over 5 years old, buy them a Guinness, and they'll tell you where to go.
Kallahar--- The fuck? Have you ever BEEN to Defcon?

Re: Defcon 21 location
Originally posted by lanrofls View PostI agree with the dates but no where that I saw did it confirm location. I assumed the RIO but wanted to double check before making room reservations. However I suppose none of that matters as it is cancelled this year.
It was canceled last year and the year before that. In fact it has never *actually* occurred as it has always been canceled.

Re: Defcon 21 location
Have you seen that line the last few (10) years.. $20 extra would be cheap.

Re: Defcon 21 location
I would always advise against booking rooms unless the location is a certainty. If it's not been announced, or hadn't been specifically brought up in the closing ceremonies of the prior con, don't be surprised if you get hosed. Two years is long enough to merit going somewhere larger and nicer if the opportunity presents itself.#ut2600 / #dc-forums | EFNet

Re: Defcon 21 location
Originally posted by Nikita View PostI agree with Kamph here, I would hold no assumptions at all on future cons. However this year it will be at the Rio and I've asked Neil to update the FAQ so there is no longer any doubt in anyone's minds. We will update the site and make announcements unless a change of venue warrants secrecy :-) But the past being any indicator it's like Kamph said, we'd announce it at closing ceremonies if we are moving.Saving the world one computer at a time...
or possibly destroying, I haven't figured that out yet.
