If the Attendee is under 21 years of age he or she agrees not to purchase, attempt to purchase, transport, or consume any alcoholic beverage during the course of the convention.

Whew, that was close.

[Metaliturtle]

I purchased when I was there, I don't remember if I was 21 or not though. There were also other forms of intoxicant available... but I didn't inhale!

[Blaupanzer]

So we get a set of rules on a legal intoxicant, followed by indications of less-than legal alternatives?

[GarretSidzaka]

well if i can't make it this year, i can gaurantee that i will make it next year as we hope to have more money by then

With the emphasis added above?

Certainly if this CivCon goes well, there will hopefully be others to look forward to as well (though probably not in '10).

[GarretSidzaka]

yeah i won't make it unless i get airfare and hotel i know that this august is the last bit of my wife getting her masters degree and we will be out of financial aid for sure by then

i would love to go, but i can't afford it myself. plus my wife is due to have another child in early july so i will be doubly broke

but i think i can make the '10 civcon

Well, last time I got up for something like this, I jinxed myself, cost me a spine surgery and three wrist surgerioes, but, will contemplate the possibilities, what was the date and what is the drop dead date to sign up/commit?

But what did you do to Donegeal to get him to look the other way?

The convention will be held on August 7-9, 2009 and the drop dead date for registering won't be until July so you have plenty of time to talk yourself into attending

[Cartimandua]

Hello! Please see the update in the OP regarding further information on a tentative schedule and hotel room reservations.

Held half his gas money as ransom.

Hi all! Been catching up on Polycast and heard the wonderful news! I absolutely plan on attending. (For once, a convention that I am interested in that is a stone's throw away from me!)
