Blizzcon?

[furtech]

Man, I wish I knew about THIS earlier! I really want to make a Tauren costume for it. I'm not surprised that they finally have a WoW con, but I would have thought there would be more publicity. And it's -local-!

Ironically, I neither play WoW nor have the slightest idea what the prize is (I'm a Mac-head). But still! They have a Costume Contest!! An excuse to make a stinky minotaur costume!

Unfortunately, while I could probably poop out a pretty decent costume in that time, they're apparently -sold out- of tickets for the event! There's some mention of "more tickets becoming available in the future" or at the site, but I hate that kind of uncertainty. I'll keep an eye out...anyone else going?

[EDIT: *Aieeee!* The Offspring is doing their closing concert! I -really- want to go now!]

Is that good or bad? I'm told it isn't the latest and greatest from Alienware, but it's still got some pop. I think a better first prize would have been a life-time (or at least a year's) free Warcrack subscription. Not that I play...but still!

A lifetime warcrack subscription could be worth it
But it's only $15 a month, so a year amounts to $180.

That Alienware system typically runs $1300.
Sure your costumes prolly cost more than that but you did look at last years winners right?
