Hero-Con 09

It's always possible I could pull a last-minute trip out. But I'd have to have an absolute butt-ton of my consultancy money come in from clients in the next week or two.

If this happens, I'd be able to afford the extortionate airline prices to get out there. Pulling a room at the hotel might be tougher though (not from a monetary standpoint).



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

I'll be in on Wednesday, planning on going to Cupertino on Thursday (Geek Mecca).

Doesn't the DoubleTree have a shuttle to and from the San Jose airport? I think I saw they did on their site.

Then get your tickets! I was saying last night that Protector will need a huge table to fit everyone.

I'm certain I saw on their site that they have a shuttle to the airport - they're practically in the airport based on the maps I've seen.

Well I think we need to determine, if we are doing the sushi thing again this year. And if we are, should we make it a sort of "offical" Protector thing? Also if this will be the case, we should totally plan it so we can drag the most people possible.

The Sushi thing was something that Rasta, Nomme, Kid and I did last year on the Friday before the con.

Nomme and Kid were picking up Rasta from the airport as I had already arrived the day before, so we met up at a place in-between SF and SJ.

I don't remember the name of the place, as I was a little trepidatious about meeting Nomme/Kid face-to-face but having already met Rasta it was easier.

Plus, it was the first time I had ever had sushi.


We met up after Rasta got in, which made it about 1:00 PM California time.

Then last year's crew is again striking fear into the heart of those that want to stay in character during the Live Event.

Ny actually made one of them break character.

Ok, My flight is now booked.

Multi-destination FTW. I will hit 6 different airports during my trip.

From Akron to Chicago, Chicago to San Fran on my way out
From San Jose to Minneapolis, Minneapolis to Pittsburgh on my way back.

And I'm dude to arrive at a nice 11:14am Friday. Well in time for any lunch gatherings.

Here's to sleeping on the plane!

They do. Niv was teasing us in the HeroCon forum (before they revealed the name of the hotel) by telling us it had a shuttle to SJO.

I got my tickets this morning as well. I will arrive about 15 minutes after Rasta. Will save our chauffers a little driving time that way.

Sweet! The Protector table is slowly expanding

I last year we had 2 tables. . . One with mostly people from the fourms and Jello Shooters, the other table was listed as Protector and made up players just in awe of Jello Shooters table.

Seeing how most banquet tables can seat 8 people, we should have no problem filling up 2 or more this year.

28 days.

Yes, that is to Friday before. But that is when the fun starts.

Either we get reservations, or we are going to show up like some Wisconsin family.

I.E. 5 to start and add another 7 because the bus was late, then add another 3 because they had to get the grass cut (and one of them couldn't get the goat to leave him alone.)

I can look into reservations. They close the door at 2:30pm and the buffet bar closes at 3pm, but we can stay for as long as we want. Given that people are still flying into SJC at 11:30ish, I suggest we make the reservation for 1pm or 1:30pm to give people some breathing room while still have enough time to eat. Let's hammer out a time and I'll make the reservations and PM details to all parties.
