Anyone going to Blizcon 2008?

[Lyonheart]

I did a search and found nothing, so I'll post here. I missed the last Blizcon ( I went to the first one ) But i will go to this one for sure. Anyone else? IF so we should keep track of who is going and maybe we can meet up while there. >> http://www.blizzard.com/us/press/080512.html

The better question is: Who is entering the costume contest as 5 elemental shaman?

Get 4 maniquins on rollers, 2 to each side, and rig up and elaborate mechanism so their arms move exactly as yours do. Then when the nubs boo, you can flip them of 10 times.

ps I will be attending with my wife, again. Now to find a reasonable way to represent multiboxing. Maybe some boxing gloves with a link to the QQMore video embossed on them.

[Emo?]

Íf only i lived in the US :(. Well I live in sweden so i got the world largers LAN party here anyway :P Been on it 8 times now ;) . www.Dreamhack.se (There is an english version in the upper right corner)

Have fun tho :D

I really want to if I didn't think doing it would be such a pain in the ass. haha

I got caught up with work last time, but I certainly plan on making it this year :D

[badashh]

There needs to be a merchandise link on this site to a t-shirt that has

Front(small letters) "Dual-boxing.com"
Back "Solo is the new Gimp"

That way you will know a multi boxer when you see one.

[Falkor]

we need 5people to go dressed up as bloodelfs and enter the DANCE competition as 5multiboxing bloodelfs!!!

[raz]

My wife and I will be going. We've been to both of the first 2 and they were always a great weekend.

[Evilpanek]

Im going

[Vyndree]

Suvega already sent me a meeting request at my work address that blocks off these days. ;)

[kadaan]

I'll be there :)

[Ellay]

We should have merchandise stuff for you to buy before the show hits :)

and I would like to go myself but the plane ticket would be killer :P

[Diamndzngunz]

I know me and my crew are going again. Will be fun.

now as for the costume contest....we could get 5 of us together and dress the same on roller skates lol...that would be a riot...5 COWs lol

the funny thing is..if i do go i will have my machines with me :rolleyes: could probably setup a booth there for dual-boxing.com :D

[Lyonheart]

Sweet! Well as you land your tickets, post back here. We should plan to meet ( if you want to ) I told my guildies I would by a round of beers for anyone that shows up from our guild. Ill extend that offer to you fellow MBs 8)

Last year the tickets sold out fast! They said this year it will be much larger, but they still might sell out fast. IF WotLK comes out after Blizcon. I'm sure many will be getting tickets just at the "chance" of getting into the beta.

[Bollwerk]

I have been to the past 2 and will definitely be going again.

[pipakin]

Me and the wife are going. I'd totally buy a multiboxing t-shrit, btw.

[Vyndree]

Suvega & Vyndree booked flights/hotel -- we'll be there from Oct 9 (Thurs) to Oct 14th (Tues) ^^

[glo]

Just booked my flight and hotel, I'm happy!

[glo]

7-14th here

[Ellay]

Ahh snap, so tempted to go now >< Wonder how I could make it a live event. I suppose I could always just record and then play it later ~

[Knytestorme]

So tempted to book the flight and hotels, but since I'd be coming from aus and know no-one around that area not sure I feel like spending 10 days in a weird-ass place with no clue what to do outside of Universal and Disney days.

Anyone going there wanna take pity on a poor soul and play guide? :D

[Lyonheart]

Ill book my flight and hotel when i order the tickets. Some nice hotels near the CC give discounts to attendees.

[Oswyn]

I'm there if I can get ticket. I only live 30 minutes but may still book a hotel in case me and the Mrs. party hard in Anaheim.

[Crayonbox]

Get some db.com t shirts :D
I'll totally sport it :D

We should get a nice list of people that are going to go and see if any of us want to meet up there. I think it would be pretty fun ^_^

[Suvega]

Ok, so I made some designs here:

I'm working on updating and getting us ALOT. Just give me ideas :)

http://www.cafepress.com/Multibox

[ahnubis]

I live in the area and will be more than happy to hang out with you guys and show you around. My new shift lets me off at 2pm at work so anything after 2pm is cool with me.

[Lyonheart]

sweet idea on the shirts. We better travel together, we might get hate crimed!

[Unholy[S]haman]

I would KILL! to go there. Unfortunately i live in South Africa and its just out of the question for me to fly ALL the way there for that. It would take...considerable amount of reasoning with my family :P
Those of you lucky enough to go, be sure to send us some pics!

[Vyndree]

I already got this ('http://www.jinx.com/women/shirts/geek/reported_womens_tee.html?catid=1') t-shirt to combat the haters. ;)

Not me lol. It's the stock photo.

I guess I can see the resemblance a bit though.

[kllrwlf]

Tickets have sold out... :S

[Crayonbox]

What the heck? Blizzcon tickets haven't even gone on sale yet?

[Suvega]

Tickets have sold out... :S

Tickets haven't gone on sale. Jesus, scare the shit out of me.

[ahnubis]

if we get enough people to come at the same time I will set up a BBQ for us at a local park in the area. have some music and BBQ the day before the event or something :}

make sure you guys show up early to get your badges.

[Quix]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go. Trying to convince some IRL friends who are now into WOW to make a weekend of it.

[kllrwlf]

OOOPSSS !!!

I just did a search for "blizz con" and got this to this page: http://www.blizzard.com/us/blizzcon07/

Now, I realize that it's for 2007. ;(

Sorry about that! :huh:

[Eiyontor]

I should attend, and I'm lucky. When day 1 of the con is over, I can just use my hearthstone to go home. Then go back up there the next day. Living an hour away from Anihiem Convention Center FTW.

[Tehtsuo]

I'll probably be there too, wearing either a Team Teht t-shirt or a Dual-Boxing.com shirt if someone makes one (Or both). How bout we plan a Dual Boxing lunch or dinner for Thursday, so we can meet our peers? I figure many people will be getting there early, most should be there by Thursday. I can bring a batch of "Hi, my name is _______" stickers if it sounds like a good time.

[Vyndree]

I can bring a batch of "Hi, my name is _______" stickers if it sounds like a good time.

The question is -- will we be putting our real names, our forum names, our ALL of our character names on that sticker? ;)

[Eteocles]

"Hi, my name is, what, my name is, who, my name is, tikka tikka slim shady" lolz

[Tehtsuo]

I can bring a batch of "Hi, my name is _______" stickers if it sounds like a good time.

The question is -- will we be putting our real names, our forum names, our ALL of our character names on that sticker? ;)So I guess I should just bring those 8x5 sheets of sticker paper? :D

[Tehtsuo]

I can take point on a dinner function if need be, but I've never been to California before, let alone Anaheim, so I'd need someone local to recommend a good restaurant. If we get enough people interested, it'd be best if it was a place with a dining room which can be reserved for larger functions. Also, it might be a good idea to make sure they have some items on the menu for vegetarians/vegans, although most places are starting to have those kinds of selections.

[Majo]

I'll be going to Blizzcon this year. I also live about 10 minutes away, so if you need restaurant recommendations for a meet up we're doing or anything, let me know and I'll throw some ideas out. I'm assuming most of you will be staying at the Hilton or other neighboring hotels so we should probably figure on a restaurant near there if we do it.

Also, on a side note, if you didn't already know the convention center is directly across the street from Disneylandif any of you want to sneak a Disney trip in there too. Then when your anti-WoW friends ask what you went to California for, you could say "Disneyland.." =]

[ahnubis]

They just put a FP Changs down the street from the convention.... Hands down the best food :} OHHHH SOOO GOOOOD. think ima go there for dinner tonight lol.

ya so if any of you guys are going to come down pm me and I will give you my cell number.

ya so if any of you guys are going to come down pm me and I will give you my cell number.If there's one that close now, that'd be a perfect place for everyone to go eat. They have a great vegetarian menu in addition to the normal meatiness. Not to mention it's all delicious.

[Lyonheart]

I know you all probably know already. I just wanted to give a heads up that Blizcon tickets go on sale two Mondays from now ( Aug 11 ) They sold out fast lastime. Ill be spamming refreash from midnight on lol.

[Tidomann]

Bro's before hoes, and wow mmo's before bro's


I think if aelli went, he'd have to keep his identity hidden, before a bunch of people try to insult him irl... And to top the icing on the cake, we'll have to find 4 hot girls to constantly follow him around dressed as elemental shamans.

[Knobley]

Anti-WoW friends != Friends.

Reminds me of this ('http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/frustrations/595d/zoom/')

[Daki]

Going!!! =) You guys might see me there!!

[Ellette]

My boyfriend and I are planning to attend if we can get the money! :) :) I am so excited because this will be our first Blizzcon :D Not sure what I'm going to do for a costume... if someone makes a dual-boxing shirt I'd so wear that bc it saves me from having to make a costume :P I could just pretend I'm a belf in normal clothes lol bc I'm white enough, just gotta ignore the freckles >_>

And lucky us, we live in Riverside, CA so it's about a 30min drive, woo! :D

[Thomas]

I'd love to but work stops me :(

[DrZ]

I live roughly 90 min away in San Diego so my wife and I will definitly be going.

Hopefully children are free since we are bringing the rugrat along too.

[Nixi]

So tickets are on sale August 11th... I just put in for my vaction to last until Oct. 6th, if I score a ticket I'll try to get an extra week off.

I'm so excited to go back to the US. Haven't been home in almost two years. What a treat that would be to be able to go to Blizz Con.

So how do I buy tickets? Just wait up Sunday night and when it's Midnight Sunday night (monday morning PST) buy with my credit card? If anyone can let me know how you've gotten your tickets before in the past I'd be thankful for the advice.

[Crayonbox]

Gonna have my credit card in hand spamming refresh over and over at midnight . I totally don't want to miss the tickets because they sold out >_>

Anybody got any ideas for a mb shirt ? I think we should all kinda have a sort of theme going for all the people from this community that will be attending. at least for the first day :)

[Texic]

I was planning on going.. then I decided to buy a house.. damnit!

Might buy a ticket in hopes some money frees up.. I doubt it but at least I can admire my ticket..

(Round trip flight from Maine is a bit costly..)

[Bradster]

I’d like to go, never been to one. If I asked my wife to go with me, she would agree to it. But if there are people dressed up like different things she will make fun of me for the rest of my life. She makes fun of me for playing these games, and I make fun of her for watching avatar. I even bought her a Wizard she can put on to watch it haha (she didn’t appreciate the joke as much as I’d hoped).
Also as a trade off for going with me I’d have to go to a rush concert or some music thing with a male singer that sounds like a woman, another example would be the group Yes. Both of which make my stomach turn at the thought.

The only thing that could make me go is if there was Gnome punting to offset the aftermath.

Edit: Can;t anyway I'm imaging 350 computers that week :( I did want to go and was considering on asking her :)

[Oatboat]

Fixing to book hotel for 3 nights thurs thru sunday. Probably gonna nerd out with one of the Tshirts too......

[maxcom]

definitely going, i live 5min away.

edit: can we set up a poll for the "official" db tshirt to wear?

[Motgib]

I'm taking the wife!

[Yeti Detective Agency]

/raises hand

[CokeZero]

I'm going! I got really lucky since I'm going to be getting 2 free tickets to this years blizzcon woot!

My GF has a good friend whos boyfriend is one of the art designers for blizzard, and in exchange for my GF signing them both into Disneyland for free(my GF works there), they giving us 2 free tickets to blizzcon AND a personal tour of their Irvine headquarters! AWESOME! lol

[Zseth]

I will also be going. Taking Block leave for 2 weeks just in order to get there :)

Does anyone have a specific hotel that they want to try and stay at or try and coordinate a meeting time and place to arrive for the main event?

[amalgam]

I'll be there, along with maybe two more people that have no idea about MBing. I'd love to meet the crews here in person.

[gankzer]

Yeah this is the suckage. High school reunion that weekend. I'd rather see folks in costumes - wife would rather see how fat everyone's gotten....

The Murloc cards from last year - did everyone get one? Thinking of buying a ticket for smoeone to go but I get the goodie bag..

[Zseth]

I'm going to stay at the portofino, right next to the convention center. Pretty cheap overall 700 for the whole thing.

[Crayonbox]

Anyone else got their ticket for blizzcon? I got mine last night and made bookings at the Hilton across the street.

[Webster]

Everytime I hit the site it was down. Trying again when I get home.

[glo]

Got my tickets last night just before they took the site offline for the evening.

We'll be in Anaheim the 7th-13th

[Caspian]

AWESOME! lolI wish I had seen this two months ago :/. I would have pestered you for an introduction. My daughter is very interested in 3D art and animation. She was out on the west coast during summer break and I was trying to get her into see Blizzard but never made a good enough connection. :(

No Blizzcon this year too much other stuff going on. Did go to the first one though with my daughter and parents. Had a good time. Daughter lead in KBs in our epic loss in the PvP competition I think she was about a month shy of 12 at the time.

[glo]

Blizzcon is sold out, hope everyone got their tix.

[Ellette]

Nope, Blizzcon is not sold out, just a glitch on the website. So don't freak! Just keep trying to buy your tickets and you'll eventually get through!

Btw, got my tickets! My boyfriend and I will definitely be there :)

[HPAVC]

I'll be there Wednesday through Sunday, 50% Blizzcon and 50% Disney with the wife.

[Ghrizzle]

okay i know the topic changed a bit but i got a good idea for a t-shirt.... well for me at least.

"Multi boxing...... Beats Ridalin"

Anyways i find it funny cause i have ADHD ....yeah i had to get the one with an extra letter... but anyways do to the amount of focus swapping between characters i find it fills my need to fidget and constantly being doing somethin.... also adds alittle bit more to my swearing but i am working on that.

Oh and i am an adult with ADHD which is even funnier cause at my job i make work fun.... Usually makin a clown of myself but hey it helps pass along the time and the bosses don't mind it.
