hell yes!

edit: garland if you could make your avatar a lil smaller it would be nice

edit 2: make sure you go and pre-register for the BYOC line and the quakecon forums (BYOC reg is friday night) at www.quakecon.org to ensure a spot (or if you plan on volunteering) and hopefully next week some time I can start working on the FITES quakecon video of our adventure from last year, or to give you guys that have never been before an idea of it check out the pic gallery page from last year: http://www.fites.net/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=thumbnails&album=15

I know sully and FF are going....

so that makes like 7-8

Sully and FF were thinking about renting an RV for the trip.

If you factor in Hotel costs and airfair, its probably cheaper!  Take turns sleepin in it

gas would be a killer for an RV... think about it...  15mpg TOPS  gas is 2.099 (as of this morning at sheetz on the carlisle pike), but mid summer it is going to be 2.75ish for 87octane  flying might actually become a good option if it goes much higher then that

arround $350 for a flight, plus getting to the hotel.

and honestly, Having the car there last year was nice because we could expolore/goto the mall/frys and fun stuff like that, plus the roadtrip was an adventure in itself.

And I know this year i'm bringing a laptop down no matter what, cause lugging the tower arround was a pain

If you have a laptop that can handle the games go for it! I would deffinitly do that over lugging a mid tower/17" CRT anyday, but i'm going down more for the fun of being there, as i'm not a "hardcore gamer" so i'm intending more on taking pictures (with "my" trusty D100) and posting daily updates and such on fites. So all I really need is photoshop and some light gaming, hence a powerbook is going to fit the bill. (I'm also gonna attempt to get a press badge) But make sure you can run the games to your liking on a laptop, you will be more than fine on q3a/cs but like ut and doom3 you might run into problems with.
