NikCon, the Snoofiesta of the Century, is still planned out.

For those of you not in the know, here's a quick FAQ:

What is NikCon?
It's a convention for ECers occuring in Las Vegas. We hope to get the most amount of ECers ever recorded there, because it's probably going to be really awesome for all of that.

Can I come to NikCon?
If you haven't been permabanned from the forums, yes, you can come to NikCon!

Why is it called NikCon?
In memory of our dear, departed friend: Niklas.

What is a Snoofiesta?
The Mexican version of a Snoofest or Snootapalooza.

What should I bring to NikCon?
Anything will do. If you feel like bringing liquor, go for it. If you feel like bringing presents, bring them.

Who will be our hosts?
The Great Parcelan shall host ye. But since he doesn't live there, thoughtful Vegasers like UBT, Nae and Callalron shall (hopefully) put us up

Will Parcelan punch me in the face if I come?
Quite possibly.

WHEN IS NIKCON?
This is important. We're planning on doing June-July of 2005. We took a poll and this is when most people can come. Please put down scheduling conflicts, whatever. I encourage you to try very hard to get your sassyfrass out to Las Vegas.

If you've got any questions about NikCon, you should ask them here. For a limited time, I'm also talking to people on the phone, because I'm insanely bored, so if you have private questions, call or send a PM or something similar to that nature.

Other than that, post your exuberance for such an awesome idea here. In this thread. Right now. Go.

Hopefully I can convince my girlfriend to come. She's always wanted to go to Vegas.

Being anywhere near E3 will make it incredibly difficult to do.

Not to mention I'll likely be doing an internship over the summer...but don't have dates on that yet.

That sounds pretty sweet to me. If we could get enough Canadians and a vehicle, we could do a ROAD TRIP!

I'd do a road trip if my car didn't get only 20mpg.

Though, plane tickets 2 weeks in advance aren't too terribly expensive.. though the pickup from the airport is. D:

I'd go, but I'm scared of flying to the US.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

You have a tripometer, right? If you have that, know how large your tank is, and your approximate MPG you don't need a working gas gauge. i don't have one.

Reset it whenever you fill up, go till you're within a 40 miles or so of your range, and then fill up again.

I'm making excuses. I should have a new car by then anyway. I don't know, we'll see if I'm feelin' it more by spring.

edit: oh, and my tripometer works, but it can't be reset. It rolls over to 000 after I pass 999 miles. That's not a huge problem, but it is annoying.

If it's after June 5th, then I can definitely go. I'll be driving (And probably end up designated driver... but hey, whatever works) so I can help a bit with transportation and stuff.

Find me a single, set date and I will find the best hotel pricings and shit too. My family is good at that shit. We found great rates to stay at during Synny's wedding.
