Slashers at Dimension Jump?

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

smaych, sunny_bexster, alyeen1, lemmesay and myself are all going to Dimension Jump next weekend. Is anyone else coming?

smaych and I were wondering if, perhaps, some sort of badge-type-thing could be arranged, so that we could recognize one another. booshslashhaven did something similar during The Mighty Boosh tour last year; it makes it easy for slashers (who want to get spotted) to spot one another, and meet up.

Is this a good idea or not?

(Mods, sorry if this is too meta!)

Sounds like a good idea to have something so we could spot each other, but I'd (also) like it if we would have some kind of meeting-plan if it's possible!? Don't know how hard it is to spot four (???) others within the massive crowd? *lol* Maybe Friday after the 'official' part is over at a certain place? *scratching head*

There isn't really going to be a massive crowd, as such, nor is there going to be a 'stop' and 'start' sort of thing. It's going to be 400 or so people, at a hotel, moving around and doing different things. It would be extremely hard to AVOID meeting someone you know is there. :) Of course, if you don't know what the person you are looking for looks like, that's an entirely different matter. That's where the badges come in. ;)

We talked about meeting up for curries before the official start of the con, but obviously I won't be able to make that, now. Could we aim for after the opening, maybe? I don't remember how long the opening ceremony/quiz/whatever programming they had going on took last time; we'll have to check that out when we get there.

(I don't know why they don't release a preliminary schedule before the start of the con, though as a convention organizer myself, I know that these things can be more complicated than they seem...)

I figured that you wouldn't make it before the opening when you said that you would get in later, so I think meeting after the opening sounds perfect. Like we just try to find each other when it's over?
*spotting badges* :-)

(I understand as well that it's complicated scheduling, but one would think that they would at least be able to give a schedule a few days in advance and with the internet today that could be helpful already ... but, oh well, we'll just see *happy shrug*)

Wish I were :( Alas, I'm a yank in grad school who has neither the funds nor the time to get away.

That said, I like the badgey idea :)

I'd be up for badges! :D

I'd looooove to meet some fellow slashers! Meeting slashers is always fun. And badges do sound good indeed! *nod-nod*
*encouraging everyone to come*
When even I can come, you can come either...eventually.
