Alright, I am certainly attending. Who else? Has anybody committed to streaming?

This is going to be great! I'm going to set up a booth and make money off people who want to have their picture taken with Atlas.

Seriously, I'm planning on going, Atlas (would you be so kind as to let me know how to refer to you? ALPHA's not cutting the mustard with me, but don't want to refer to you as Atlas if it's not appropriate). That is a pretty good gimmick that I suggested, but at no cost. Have your picture taken with Atlas at Bitcoin Convention 2012 in San Antonio, TX.

I'm planning on setting up a table selling Martin's hand tooled leather Bitcoin Wallets and rustic wood plaques with a message burned onto it. Details of this, forthcoming. I look forward to meeting, Atlas.

You can call me Immanuel at the conference. I'll look forward to seeing you as well. : )

Great! How should I address you here on this forum, so that I can be consistent?

Heh, just keep it to the pseudonyms online. Atlas, Alpha, whatever you prefer... No need to be tactful with me. My sensibilities aren't very sensitive, if you will.

It's nice to see that my relative scarcity around these parts hasn't dampened enthusiasm for the next convention.  :)

I'm corresponding with forum member Blackout concerning requirements for high quality recording and streaming.

Bruno, I'll add you to the list of forum members attending in the other thread when I get home (I'm posting from my phone, at the moment).

Hope you're wearing your costume so that we can recognize you.

Only if you arrive dressed as a giant leather wallet.

I'm still undecided.  Have you guys figured out what hotel you'll be staying at?

EDIT: Nevermind.  Just saw the other thread.
I finally have some substantial news regarding the convention to announce.

First, I'd like to thank Seals With Clubs (https://sealswithclubs.org/) for becoming an official sponsor. Please go play some poker and encourage Freemoney to try to attend the conference in person.

Now, the really big news! You can now check availability and make your reservations with our discounted rate (which includes free in-room internet) at the Grand Hyatt and Hyatt Regency by using the following links:

Grand Hyatt San Antonio (https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_gi_new&groupID=6230119)

Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk (https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_gi_new&groupID=6187309)

Hopefully, it'll be one of these: Grand Hyatt San Antonio (https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_gi_new&groupID=6230119)
Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk (https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_gi_new&groupID=6187309)

The Grand Hyatt is newer and right next door to the convention center but doesn't have availability on Friday the 16th. The Hyatt Regency has availability and is five dollars cheaper but is a few blocks away.

It is St. Patrick's Day weekend, so I recommend making your reservations ASAP.

I've stayed at both hotels. I can't really remember a difference. Heh. Maybe it's just me.

I'll be staying in my pimped out Bitcoin Bus that runs on burning money.

Location is the biggest difference, IMO. The Grand is spitting distance from the mall and the Regency is on the Riverwalk, plus, if you've got a good arm, it's literally a stone's throw from the Alamo.

Good luck finding parking for it in downtown San Antonio. It might still be cheaper to stay at a hotel.  :o
