I've been able to hype 7 people into trying to make plans to come to this. 1 from Canada, 1 from Florida, 1 from Michigan, 2 from Lousiana, 1 from Illinois, 1 from Georgia, and Will_ from Alabama (hopefully he'll be able to talk Reflex/George/DanGR/the rest of the AL Crew to go too)

Lol I think me and EGale are being partners for dubs at SNES. If he can come. If not then yeah sure. And we will do some damage at crews I cannot wait for this ****.

@ Mike: And you all want me to go and pick up EGale to come to this thing and then I would have to bring him back to Illinois too lol. I might end up helping him with the money to you gtfo :p

Luckily this place is less an hour away. So me and my friends should be able to afford to go every day! (^_^)

I love music. If Power Glove goes its auto win. If other bands I enjoy go... maybe HORSE the band... It will also be auto win. Just not as much auto, more like semi-auto, but still win nonetheless.

Now we aren't gonna get Metallica or The Offspring but we are going to get some very big video game related bands. One of which has promised over 2,000 people just for them!

WE WILL NOT HAVE Radio-Hit bands but we will have awesome video-game related bands.


Also we came to terms with another band yesterday... announcement soon.

Marlborough High School has said we can do an assembly before the end of the school year about this con... that's 3,000 people we can directly market to there....

This is gonna be sick.

Is preregistering a promise of attending or no? I still have to discuss this and make plans, but I'd like to sign up early in the assumption that I will be able to go.

Preregistering is being used to give the organizers an idea of how much demand there is for certain events. It's not a promise of attending.
