Notacon in Cleveland, OH

[highwizard]

"Currently, there are no age restrictions for Notacon attendance, although the hotel may have other restrictions in regards to whom can book a room. We acknowledge that some materials, language and themes present at Notacon may not be suitable for minors, especially in the evenings. However, we do encourage people under the age of 18 years of age to consider coming with an adult, parent or guardian. To that end we are offering an incentive in that we will make a "family pass" available to qualifying individuals and their adult guardians. We will not be doing age checks, but will question individuals if they look or seem too young. "


I don't attend any Con's with "Family Passes".

How about a pool raft in pool #2?

Ohh! An unofficial DefCon cruise...Now if we only knew someone who dabbled in photography. We could sell it as a novelty item....

Don't they call that city "The mistake by the lake"?

In defense of my adopted home state, I believe Shakespeare wrote:

This royal throne of industry, this frozen shore,
The Flats of majesty, this seat of Paul Brown,
This other Chicago, demi-paradise,
This blue collar breed of men, this little Warsaw,
This precious stone set by silver Erie,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm,
this Cleveland.

(Dunno, was that a little over the top?)

Email reply today indicates that we have funding to attend this con. Who else is going? aside from the obvious...

You are absolutely right. That is just plain retarded. Fuck that. It's gone.

[magikgrl]

I and 4 friends of mine will be attending and looking forward to it. Being that I am from Michigan this makes less travel and I have lots of friends that didn't even know about it. So I am gonna spread the word. But I know I will b there

Astcell is the photography guy, the problem with the ship would be not having power to sustain the mass electronics and computers on board, or some smartass would play with an EMP pulse generator and we'd be stuck in the middle of nowhere drifting.

Not to mention that Lake Erie can reach 2-3 foot waves on the not-so-good days, and the middle of that time doesnt look promising if someone does bring out their HERF gear out. As for the mass computer gear, you trying to run a small datacenter on some sailboat? Just as long as you arent trying to stick in a few of these in a 24', http://www.linux-magazin.de/Artikel/..._von_vorne.gif I'd be more worried about the person with the EMP. Either way, you have no power, it wont be drifting, it'd be swimming or sinking, and I doubt many people can swim 9 miles with huge waves at them.

Yankee: wetw3rx is correct on #2. The only acceptable use of prose and poetry outside a Sig. is in the form of Haiku

As the thread goes on
I feel such despair that
My bowels erupt.

I always knew a haiku was much more civilized...
