baitcon is also a good place to chat.I know I say this every year - including noting that I say this every year - but it's more true than ever at the moment:
We have a minimum we need to be able to afford to do this, while paying our contract with the site and we need that minimum well in advance.
That deadline is approaching. Please! If you're intending to come to Baitcon this year, hie yourself to the website and register soon.
Hope to see you there!

Baitcon XXVI: Date Change!
Feb. 24th, 2015 01:40 pmBaitcon 26 will be held on August 28th-31st, 2015
at the Mountain Campground of the Abode of the Message.
Why Change the Date?
The severe snow and ice this winter has impacted everything in the Northeast – roads, public transportation, roofs, buildings of all sorts (both inside and out), school schedules, etc. Last week, the Abode staff shared some concerns about the potential impact to our site due to the weight of the snow on various buildings and structures and also the possible ground conditions in June. As we are always the first event of the Mountain Campground season, many assessments and repairs are often in-progress during our event. This year, it seems more than likely that many spaces may be unusable even in late June.
Why August?
This was the only available Abode’s only other available weekend this summer. Our new date, much like our traditional date, is sandwiched between many wonderful things. This year, Baitcon 26 will be right after Worldcon and right before Burning Man and Labor Day weekend. This unique date offers us all a chance to experience the Mountain Campground at a different time in the summer, celebrate before kids go back to school.
Registration will open in late May this year. The same go/no-go condition we always have for Baitcon will still apply despite the date change: we need at least 120 paid adult registrations to meet our minimum attendance guarantee and go forward with the event.
We know that many of you many have already planned around our traditional late-June date. We’re sorry about that and we hope you can still join us this year. If you have questions, please email us via this address: exec AT baitcon DOT org
Baitcon XXV: The invite is live!
Apr. 28th, 2014 01:03 amBaitcon XXV - A Song Of Ice Cream and Bonfires - will be held on June 27th-30th, 2014 at the Mountain Campground of the Abode of the Message.
We've gotten the website poked and prodded and we have the registration system up and waiting for all you lovely people. Take a look at wp.baitcon.org or all the details, including how to register.
It's not very different, but take a look over the whole thing and see how much of it you actually remember. :)

We hope to see you there!

What would YOU take?
Aug. 8th, 2010 03:46 amSo, Friday night I came home in a bad mood and that, combined with the remote system on my car freaking out a few days before and me not dealing meant that I left my car unlocked on the street outside my house.
This morning I came out and figured this out because my car had been lightly ransacked, but no window was broken.
The Glove box had been emptied, the shit in the back seat had been somewhat re-shoveled. Stuff like that.
For the most part nothing had been taken. The change was still in its drawer, the 2 different 1/8" stereo->FM transmitter frobs were left behind, etc. etc.
Eventually I noticed the thing that was missing... the extra Baitcon shirts that had been riding around in the back of my car waiting for me to deal with them.
So, if you see anyone around Camberville that has a Baitcon shirt who shouldn't? Yeah... take a picture. Call me. Something.
{sigh}

Baitcon is inheriting one of Andor's old fridges and we need to haul it out from the 3rd floor tonight.
I'm hoping to do this around 8, subject to final clearance from Andor. I don't expect it will be TOO hard as it's not a huge fridge, but in case it's more wearing than expected, between 1 and 3 more people would be good. (Well, 1 is absolutely necessary. I can't do it alone. :)
Give me contact info (mail is fine) if you can help so I can tell you if the time changes, else plan on coming by LSE or meeting up at Andor.
Thanks...

Baitcon: Latest site update's up!
May. 31st, 2009 02:29 amRather than duplicate it here:
http://www.baitcon.org/2009/05/31/531-update/
(And the 'posts' have an RSS feed available, too. Don't add it here, though, please?)
T-shirt sales are well below expectations. Is this a conscious decision on everyone's part, or is there just lameness?

May. 18th, 2009 11:01 amWe've made our minimums!
Yay!
(Not that people shouldn't keep responding! ;)
(BTW, as we haven't been totally clear: We're asking people to _pay_ by the deadlines, not to just rsvp. We're also asking people to use the registration forms 1x per person, rather than just to reply for multiple people.)
Yay!
