ABSOLUTELY everyone needs to tip their hosts per drink or food item. I would be embarrassed for anyone that didn't because obviously your getting a great deal as is.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187211747621017486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096268389439201426.post-48325297935617554742010-07-08T11:21:26.938-07:002010-07-08T11:21:26.938-07:00Crafter John commented, "Nick forgot to menti...Crafter John commented, "Nick forgot to mention next years theme for the con 'CONvergence 2011: Tomorrow Through the Past.' In other words, it looks to be a Steam Punk theme."<br /><br />While the 2011 theme is inclusive of Steam Punk, it is certainly much broader than that: <br /><br />It encompasses all retro views of the future through the past, including media like The Jetsons, Back to the Future II, Disney World's "Tomorrowland," classic Doctor Who, Buck Rogers, and Flash Gordon as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096268389439201426.post-32538818549365583202010-07-08T11:13:50.194-07:002010-07-08T11:13:50.194-07:00"Need I remind you that all room party alcoho..."Need I remind you that all room party alcohol is free?" <br /><br />All the room parties are private parties, put on by people like yourself that just want to have a good time. Each party room host has to pay for their cabana room (at about $125 per night, more if they pay to have the furniture removed and stored by the hotel), pay for all the party supplies and decorations out of their own pocket - including alcohol. The parties are not subsidized by the convention in any way. It's all done out of the goodness and generosity of the people hosting the parties.<br /><br />I hope that you did the right thing and tipped your party room hosts - standard is a dollar per drink or food item - and if not, that you make up for it next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096268389439201426.post-48042271263087473102010-07-08T09:38:53.663-07:002010-07-08T09:38:53.663-07:00I would have liked to have attended the "Seed...I would have liked to have attended the "Seedy Side of Steampunk" panel on Thursday night, but it was opposite a panel for which I was a panelist, "Bond Girls are Forever".<br /><br />And I remember mentioning House of Toast to you in the Dealers Room at MidSouthCon. Describing House of Toast to someone just doesn't do it justice. House of Toast can only be experienced first-hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096268389439201426.post-73276884164896710262010-07-07T15:34:00.079-07:002010-07-07T15:34:00.079-07:00well, the Klingons are not thinking steam punk, bu...well, the Klingons are not thinking steam punk, but that would be mind blowing...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096268389439201426.post-22160368113041811632010-07-07T14:58:30.246-07:002010-07-07T14:58:30.246-07:00I know, I'm really excited about next year'...I know, I'm really excited about next year's theme!

In other words, it looks to be a Steam Punk theme. <br /><br />Was fun talking to you<br />Maybe the sky pirates can get together??Crafter Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539062233430866496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096268389439201426.post-56569224670417195142010-07-07T10:41:31.347-07:002010-07-07T10:41:31.347-07:00I am so going to be there next year!I am so going to be there next year!Elizabeth Darvillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03540347325011751035noreply@blogger.com
