CONvergence

I will be at CONvergence starting tomorrow, as one of their guests of honor.  If you'd like to see me talk (or witness my bizarre time-traveling hair), feel free to stop in.  My schedule can be found here.

Suggest to the Con staff that they re-introduce day passes. I waived off of attending because they only have a single price regardless.

Day passes have been an on-going point of discussion for a while now. The impression I got last time it was brought up is that the con feels they have better reasons to stay with the current policy than to go back to day passes. They certainly aren't hurting for attendance, so losing a couple of people isn't a huge argument/incentive for them to switch back.

Basically, I think the policy prevents more headaches than it creates, at least to con-com's mind.

Thank you for the reply, Douglas. I cannot say that I agree with the logic, but it IS their choice to make.

I would probably be less aggrieved if I lived closer to the Twins, but the Mankato area is too far to drive home every day and not far enough to make me feel a hotel room is justified.

Chrystoph -- I can understand your discontent. I usually go to cons for one day. I simply do not have the energy for an entire 3 or 4 day weekend or the money to pay for a hotel room.

Sorry I missed it, Lyda. I hope it went well.
