I would go.. but its freaking $70 for a 3-4 day pass.
It is for a 4 day con that is why it is 70 dollars at the door. It was cheaper earlier in the year but now it only at the door tickets. It is july 3rd through the 6th this year next year the price will drop also it will loose a day and go back to 3 day con since this year it is their 10th year running they decided to make it one more day to look at back at the years. I have a party room your more then welcome to wear it and help support all of us at the Con if you can make it!
Yeah. But they also don’t sell day passes.. which sucks. I mean.. I would pay $20 for a day.
But I’m sure if they did that.. a lot of people would just get day passes and not come back on other days.
THey used to but, ran into problems and also people trying to forge the day passes all weekend so they only had to pay the one day pass and tried to keep using it.
Best thing ever.
God I hate snow…and I still live in Minnesota. They’re talking around 8 inches through tonight alone for my area.
Great day today. More snow is expected for this weekend…why me!!!
This state makes Hell seem appealing.
I tend to agree with you.
You have no choice. It is a scientifically proven fact. Hell > Minnesota
My other gripe amount Minnesota can be summarized with one simple question: Has anyone ever seen Deliverance? Then again, the entirety of the United States seems to have this same problem.
I’ve seen “Deliverance”…and in SOME select areas I’ll agree, but I think they’re few and far between. Namely farther north and closer to Wisconsin lol.
However, I hate our 9 seasons: Spring, Construction, Summer, Construction, Blazing Summer, Construction, Autumn, Construction, Blizzard. Sometimes we tend to skip a season, and through some more construction into the mix.
They need to invest in heated roads, or flying cars. Then again, they already invented the flying car. I think it’s called an airplane, or something like that. The idea is to have an automobile-shaped, wingless plane that’s available to the public, like the year 2015 in Back to the Future . . . which was nothing but a joke. The idea is just stupid and unethical. You’d have to go through an extended period of coaching just to get a license to operate the “flying car”. Eh, I’m ranting . . . I’ll be quiet.
There are constantly new road materials being developed and expiremented with.
More recently they were considering putting down a material that when excited with a specific light would become hot. I guess then they were thinking about outfitting all the snow plows with those specific lights instead of plows.. and that would melt all the snow.
Anyone heard of this? Or did I just make it up?
I’ve never heard of that, though it’s not a bad idea…until it created alot more ice.
I do know some areas have experimented with a tar/gravel/rubber mix for paving roads. The rubber would come from recycled chopped up tires or something, and was supposed to “give” enough when cars drove over it to provide both a cushion and a longer life for the road. I don’t knwo where they’ve begun this, but it’s interesting.
Global warming is our friend.
