KeyCon 2016 Planning, Organizing, and Fraternizing (Location selected)

[romevi]

I know the date is TBA, but is there a guesstimate? Summer? Autumn?
Or a season that's not a girl's name?

August-September I thought.

timing will be Aug/Sept with a heavy push for August due to school schedules and the like. 

[renne]

What are we gonna do during the event? Wish I could join it this year!

I really ought to read before posting.

Now that location has been decided, Would it be worth it to spin off a new thread for actual events planning and scheduling? Compartmentalize info to make it easier to find.

Yes.    I'll make a few standard threads, but anyone can feel free to add as they see fit (thread to organize carpools if needed, etc).

[romevi]

How do people usually organize after-events? Would love to join a group going to Galloping Ghost.
Would that be discussed here or a different thread?

That will be something brought up here (like now ) and then spun off into another thread such as "After-con events" or something. 

[hwood34]

Chicago eh?  I would possibly be able to make it depending on when it happened. 

Is KeyCon usually a weekend thing or longer?

Obviously the actual con was only the one day, but a few people got there as early as Thursday IIRC and were there til Monday

[el_mechacontext]

So Chicago's been decided? I'm excited 

Is there a venue or something decided already? Sorry I'm late to the discussion

Date and venue still TBD.   

[izilla]

What sort of events are usually planned? I would like to see something like a live-build would be cool.

I would like to throw my vote in for Austin, TX as well. Since I just moved here that would be super convenient.

Oh wait **** Chicago. Why there again?

[Air tree]

We picked it because we thought it might annoy you, so we could be entertained.

[Floody]

Oh wait **** Chicago. Why there again?

Because no one could decide on a place

[dante]

Third Coast, bros, where the water is fresh and cold.

Not quite.  Given the timing, it was the best option.

I thought it was because Hoff was hoping to catch a Bears game?

But wouldn't any other cities team be better than the one he has to watch?

Eh. I think he was just avoiding watching the mockery that is the Tennessee Titans.

Is this a joke about the Packers being bad?  I'm a little distracted by the 13 world titles, sorry.

A sweet arcade that houses lots of good games. I live an hour away but never have been there. cptbadass says it's great.

[Air tree]

I need to put away some cash for the plane ticket up there, and probably a hotel room for a few nights. shieet.


I'll be disappoint if I'm not able to make it.

Oh man I grew up in the Cary/Crystal Lake Area and then moved to 18th and Halsted before leaving the Chicagoland area. I can't wait to come back and see how much y'all have ****ed it up.

Confirmed great. Highly recommend you start at Burger Antics which is in Brookfield off of Grand Ave for one of the best burgers outside of the city, it's a 15 minute walk to Galloping Ghost. After playing games for a few hours, run down to Brixies on Ogden (1.5 blocks away) for a solid beer list and repeat until GG closes at 2AM.

I'm still bummed I had to miss Keycon last year. I'm crossing my fingers this happens in August or the one weekend in September when I'm free
