So lame...

Peeps like me who are you know...

In the military and therefore cannot fully "firm up" to dates even in the future.

I want to go... I should be CONUS then... leave shouldn't be a problem, but nothing would be guaranteed until say 4-5 months out. And I hear this stuff gets *crazy.*

Is the "booking frenzy" true?

I'd say in your case find room mates who can book. Should you not be able to make it 4-5 months should be MORE than enough time for them to find someone else to take your spot.

It is.

I would imagine the Hilton to be the last of the big three to sellout because of their "first night non refundable deposit" policy (which... sucks).

I'm actually entertaining the idea of booking a cheaper room off site (hopefully no more than) a couple of blocks away. The room rental cost is becoming unreal.

I'm in the same boat. I can buy a ticket ahead of time, but with the way training schedules keep changing, I never know when I'm available until a few weeks before hand. :(

Well that confirms its truth but I figured just as much. Anyways...

Something to look into... I should be CONUS in early Fall. And with a new unit I'll have to find a way to sweet talk them into leave. So I'd probably be able to know about 2-3 months if I have confirmed leave.

They usually say yes, but if they say no, I'm holding hotel/airline tickets and can't go. That sort of thing.

Rooms always open up just before the con. Just keep checking dragon cons website. And or book the Hyatt place or the motel 6 on courtland

Hello Marines...
I have attended several Dragoncons, but only today discovered this board. I have some USCM armor and a PR in storage... hopefully I will have it all kitted out for September to join the parade!

I drank too much Strongbow one night, and I *somehow* woke up in my uniform on my bed.
I don't think I'd make it a "few blocks"

Wasn't sure where to put this, but here'll do for now:

Looks like there'll be a Firefly Shindig this year (they didn't have one last year), but they're looking for donations to run a cash bar there:
