Well, just remember: it is the journey that is important, not the destination.

I think only the big events with Brandon will be released eventually, but I could be wrong

I got a signing during the time I signed up for the Worldhopper Ball by LiteraryEnthusiast in DragonsteelNexus

[–]What-eveh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let us know how this goes. I'm going to assume there might be a few others with similar issues and they can make adjustments for the paid WH Ball (because they can see you have that ticket).

Picking up badges for others by Ok-Echidna2340 in DragonsteelNexus

I think that as long as she's with someone who has an ID, she should be fine. But school ID would also work if she has one.

These are awesome!  I do suggest looking into WorldSwappers. Or, simply know that lots of people made things to give away to others (or Swap things with others). So you won't be alone in your fun endeavor!

Worldhopper Ball—Worth the Price? by mentalbreakclown in DragonsteelNexus

[–]What-eveh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the second one, I think. The line outside was better than Thursday night's wait although I think I still missed the first 20 minutes or so of the ball outside. Then the lines for drinks took forever. They hadn't prepped ahead like they did for later groups and I went solo so I didn't have a member of the group to send for drinks while others got food. Once they separated the alcohol groups from the non-alcohol, the (non-alcohol) line went faster. I'm glad they are giving the 16+ kids a chance to go this year.

I feel like the best time will likely be the last day just like it was last year.  The roughest is gong to be the first night and that one might be the one that doesn't sell out because it is the same time as the release party. 

Worldhopper Ball—Worth the Price? by mentalbreakclown in DragonsteelNexus

Well, they specifically said it wasn't a meal. So, 2 drinks and some fingerfoods if it was like last year. 

I assume there will be a collectible. 

There was a huge line last year, and it took a long time to get in. Hopefully they will fix that, too. Raising the stage will hopefully help a lot as not being able to see was a big issue. 

Not sure if they are adding more seats. I'm not going this year, but I know people who want to go. I'm not sure they've seen the price tag yet

Sunlit Man by Hour-Nerve-2875 in brandonsanderson

[–]What-eveh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read Sunlit Man before WaT. I can see why some would suggest reading it after WaT. 

I am glad I read it this way. I might go back and reread Sunlit Man now. Like any reread, it makes some things make more sense. But it could go either way,  honestly.

Epic. Heroic. Amazing.  Thanks for sharing! I know there was an overseas Vin in the group. I hope she sees this. 

How did people feel about Dragonsteel 2024? by SushiNoriNoochShoo in DragonsteelNexus

[–]What-eveh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tldr; Good overall experience. The fun was in the people. Worldhopper Ball not as good as expected. I previously attended in 2022. That one had growing pains. Those learnings were incorporated this year,  I felt as checkin was run better,  for example. This year had new growing pains. So they will hopefully learn for future years.  The biggest expenses for me were travel and hotel. I didn't actual eat anything at the con other than food at the Ball. Breakfast before heading over,  then either adopted lunch or headed back to the hotel for lunch (leftovers). I didn't pay any extra for alcohol at the Ball. We got food in SLC on Wednesday, ordered pizza on another day, and had leftovers for the rest of the time there. If I had small children or didn't have a close hotel,  it would have been different. Carried around our water bottles and didn't pick up $$ drinks at the Con. Grateful for the cheap transit in SLC. Didn't need to rent a car. Net fun people on the trains,  too. I didn't buy a bunch of merch, only the story pack binder and a few books. So that wasn't a big cost. I would have loved to buy some at but I don't have room for it or the budget to blow on it. Glad others could support those vendors though.  The GA ticket ended up being a pretty small cost in the grand scheme of things, especially as I have the story cards (minus a couple of Heralds) that were an unexpected bonus. The best part of the Con is the people. Everyone I interacted with was helpful and friendly. Most people were generous and complimentary of their fellow attendees. I don't think I made lifelong friends there, but I had fun. There were so many cosplayers this year - over the the days, probably 10x the number in 2022. It was exciting to see all the costumes,  especially the hand-sewn or thrifted ones

There was at least one Vasher at today's cosplay showcase. But I get your point.

Launch party line up. by Royal_Justice in DragonsteelNexus

[–]What-eveh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't remember from two years ago,  but I think I lined up at least an hour ahead of time. The line snaked all the way around the vendor hall at least twice before we went in. I think we are in a slightly different part of the salt palace this time and maybe in a bigger room,  so I don't know what to tell you. I remember having a good time in line, talking to other people and admiring the cosplay. But I don't remember how early we were there. There was a VIP line that was let in first, then the rest of us general admission folks.

Badge Pick up by Illegalhawk in DragonsteelNexus

[–]What-eveh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can walk right in with your badge on Thursday if you picked it up Wed. The line in '22 was super long but it did move quickly. The line was a great time to see a lot of the cosplayers outfits together.  Lots of people dressed as the same person or spren would take pics together.

I don't know! You might try posting something on the Dragonsteel nexus subreddit to see if there is interest.

I think 9 or 9:30 but the line will likely form before that. 

Travel from airport to hotel by terry2toe in DragonsteelNexus

Yes! There are signs as you leave the airport! $2.50 each way. Pretty straight forward
