Well, considering I volenteered for the gorram parade and my costumes are close to complete, my dad can't back out of giving me a ride now.

But yeah, I plan on being there that Saturday.

Panels tend to be in the Hyatt, Shopping tends to be in the Marriott. Both are likely sold out now for months. You might want to check Hilton which is behind Marriott or Westin or Days Inn which are about a block away.
There are con rates, but that requires calling the hotel for reservations about 4 months ago.

The Hyatt is more or less the main hotel up front on the main street where the parade will be. Marriott is Directly behind it. Police tend to moitor and direct trafic for us at the area between for easy crossing of the street. there's also a connecting hamster tunnel over the street. The Hilton is directly behind the Marriott and is the main hotel for Gamers. I believe the main site www.dragoncon.org states the games(Role Playing/Collectable Card Games) will be there this year. Westin and Days Inn are about a block each from the Hyatt in different Directions. so it looks something like this:
Hilton
Marriott
.
Hyatt............Westin
.
.
.
.
.
Days Inn
There's a reasonably priced diner at the Days Inn and 'Beverage' shop between the Hyatt and Days Inn.
Any Other Questions, I'll try to help.

Glad you got a room, EngineAngel, usually by this time they're hard to come by!

I have a room in the Marriott and I am looking to share with 2 or 3 other Browncoats. Anybody need a place to stay?

I'll have some new Browncoat items with me this year but I'm not telling what

For those that don't frequent the OB, there is a BROWNCOAT FLOOR at the Hyatt. See this thread, and contact the originator for more info:

http://forums.prospero.com/foxfirefly/messages?msg=25693.1

The rest of the Hyatt may be sold out, but last I heard there are still rooms on the Browncoat floor, and there will be a lot of Browncoat parties on this floor, so it's worth checking out.

I'll be there (rooming with others). Can't wait!

I am looking for a place to stay, and I will even accept floor space. I am pretty neat about keeping my stuff to myself, and would definitely chip in on the room's price. If you don't mind purple in the room, I'd love to have a place to stay for the weekend.

Also, can you tell me about lapel pins and lanyards? This is my first con and it is all so new to me.

Ha, ha, ha, purple. That's only my favorite color, so purple works for me.

What's your e-mail, we can talk about the room "off line". Hopefully at least one more person will join in to make it cost effective. I'll also tell you about the pins and lanyards.

I concur. I skipped two classes last year to go and it was worth it. I may be missing one class this time (if I get in, I'm on the wait list. It's kinda bad that I won't be able to make the very first class...) since I'm flying down Thursday (so I won't miss anything!)

It's worth going.

I am very pleased to announce that the Propstore of London has, very kindly, donated some items for the Southeastern Browncoats charity auction at DragonCon. We have a heist money display, a Maidenhead gambling chip display, and a razored Reaver throwing weapon. I don't have pictures yet, but as soon as I manage to scare up a digital camera, we'll post them on the SEBC website. Until then, you can visit www.propstore.com and check out the pics they have in their gallery.

We have several other items for the auction, as well. Some lovely artwork donated by kind and loving Browncoats, amongst other things. As soon as I have the camera (and I get the art back from the framing gallery) we'll post pics. More details following soon
