Nope, couldn't afford it before and sure as heck couldn't afford it now, sadly.

I wish I could, though.

I'll be there. Looking forward to meeting some of the folks I interact with on a regular basis, including finally meeting my SL landlord. :)

I would go but I think too many people would be freaked out that I'm actually a ferret in RL, not a hedgehog..

I thought it was going to be canceled? As there is supposed to be a hurricane hitting Florida around that time!??!?!!??

SLCC - The place you never bring your kids to, and or conservative friends.
The SLCC ball will be Leather, Lace, Latex - No thank you :P

That aside, for me as a techie, the real fun is at VW200* conferences.

I went to the 2006 one, and was pretty unimpressed. Then again, I came in the middle of a "love and relationships" panel which, well, was really a "sex" panel. It seemed way overpriced, to me.

Likewise, the mixer event always seems to be a "fesith ball" of sorts -- and that would seem th' last place I should show up at.

I might go again if it was closer, but I have a hard time seeing the value.

Meh... I'd probably never go anyway. (>_<;)

I wanted to go, but I thought it was fairly overpriced.

Hurricane Hannah (or tropical storm Hannah at present), currently is projected to possibly brush the east coast of Florida. Tampa is on the west coast of Florida, so there's a signifigant landmass between Hannah and SLCC.

Tampa will probably see rain, but at the moment doesn't look to be in any significant hurricane danger.

Florida? At the price of travel these days? Nope!!! Not gonna go!

NOW- I still say have it in Pittsburgh! Same time as the Furry Convention. That way some folks can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Plus when I say "it sucks here" yinz'll know what I mean ;)

From the 2 people I've met from SL my honest answer would be:

NO Frickin' Way!!!


Why do I get all the weirdos?? :confused:

/me bites tongue.

I seriously considered going, but then I thought the cost and potential for getting stormed on weren't worth the effort. LL really does not have a clue how to market SL or itself. If I can't be enticed to a conference for SL, no one can.

When me and another resident were told by a Linden that builds by and for kids were banned from SL5B, part of their reason was that they wanted SL5B to be "more like SLCC" in order to make it more appealing to RL businesses. For some reason, I could only think of that panel (which included a demonstration of a RL 'marital aid' that could work based on SL, um, 'input') and the infamous Stroker parties at past SLCCs.

They should move it to Las Vegas. I'd go if it gave me an excuse to go to 'Vegas...
