LibertyCon 2023 tickets go on sale TODAY AT NOON EASTERN.
The site is https://www.libertycon.org/ and it typically sells out in half an hour, so you have to be ready, set, go.
According to Chris mouse: They’re doing it through a third-party, so make sure you have an account setup with that third party vendor in advance. This is the vendor: https://www.eventeny.com. Registration is quick and easy.
I will be there in 2023, barring disaster.
According To Hoyt 
The Reader managed to get them this time. Looking forward to next year.
Shesellsseashells just got ours!
And was utterly terrified when I logged in and saw “6 available”, but apparently that’s a purchase limiter and not “this is all that’s left”. Taking deep breaths now…
Hah! I’m in. You’re in for it now guys!
Insert evil supervillain laugh here.
Oh, good, other people do that too. Maybe I’m not destined to conquer the world. That’s a relief.
The paperwork would be murder.
Especially the Environmental Impact Statement. That one alone would probably occupy a couple of decades.
Not to mention being rather pointless. Mother Nature is far crueler and more deadly than I could ever hope to be.
And I honestly don’t see why all these lobbyists keep complaining about my winter vacation home. They act like no one’s ever built a fortress in the heart of a volcano before! Really, it’s far more likely to kill me than I am to hurt it.
The Reader thinks the pointlessness is the punishment. That fortress will be painted as the world’s source of hot / cold / wettery…
Oooh….that would be a fun gag, an “environmental impact statement” that is the statement of what impact the environment will have on a project…….
You scoff, but one of my first jobs was writing the Environmental Impact Statement for basing the new MX missiles in old Minuteman ICBM silos. A bunch of commenters insisted we should take into account the environmental impact of global thermonuclear war. Some poor young lady was tasked with writing answers to all frequently asked questions, so she had to answer that without snidely motorboating her lips.
I was thinking more like “Well, this is a salt marsh, it’s gonna increase corrosion.”
But that story is totally worth the price of admission. 😀
Like!
Apparently, I do it without even trying. I’m told my chuckle often sounds quite evil.
My cackle showed up after seventy. And my sons, who have read Pratchett’s Witches series kept saying “Mama, the cackle is a sign that the gingerbread house and the oven is not far behind.”
And yes, they call me Mama. They’re very weird.
I once had a girlfriend who was seriously disturbed by my over-the-top villainous cackle.
After 70 what? Beers? 70 o’clock? 70 dad jokes? The mind boggles, and the brainstorming session starts.
Dear Lord after 40 not 70. I’m not even 60.
…. otoh maybe I’m a secret immortal?
Hah. I bet I know children who can do it better. 😛
See my name. I’m not afraid of you.

Made it in this time! Now I don’t have to just hang around from happening to live close enough to Chattanooga to do so!
75% of the tickets gone in 14 minutes… Going to Chattanooga!
Have fun, guys!
Got in. Will be there.
It’s been a half hour, so I assume all the tickets are gone now? Where is there a counter?
They slowed down after 80% sold. LC Facebook page says 42 left as of five minutes ago.
First time ever, I got mine, Lord willing and the creek don’t rise, I will at least gaze upon many of you fine people from not-so-afar next year!
Warning, I hug and squee.
Is that permission to squee from across the room? Hahahahaaa /jk not in a million years!
It’s not like it’s never happened before.
This is true. She does.
And getting a hug from Sarah is always awesome! 🙂
AHA! AHA! After five years coming up empty-handed, I scored, finally, two tickets! Now, to get a panel or two, and do some volunteering. Two gas-sharing passengers with light luggage arrangements later. If the Mrs. bunks out, I may need a room share.
Ah … how does one sign up for panel seats etc?
Hit up Rich Groller about that:
“Programming: Rich Groller
“Rich spends HOURS and HOURS putting together our World Class Programming. LibertyCon membership is limited to only 1000 folks, and usually 150+ of them are Pros (Authors, Artists, and Scientists). Rich is the person in charge of scheduling LibertyCon’s rich programming events, panels, and Authors Alley. Rich is the person to contact if you have questions about LibertyCon Programming. (LibertyConProgramming@gmail.com)”
But be nice to him, it’s a thankless job that he does every year without hardly complaining too much…
Beats me! I guess I’ll send a precis and resume to the SMOF
No. If you mean sitting ON the panel, contact Rich Groller.
Muito obrigado, maestra.
yah my question should have been – will there be signups on Eventuny or whatnot – or what kind of announcement to look for?
If you’re not someone they’re likely to seek out and ask about it, then you would need to contact Rich, like drloss said.
You don’t need panel seats. That’s really weird. You just drift in and out. 😀
oh dear, festival seating style? Aren’t most of us a little old or introverted for that?
Okay, depends if you want to be the presenter (you have to talk to Rich) or just sit in the audience (in which case, you come in and sit.)
ok, thank you, i just want to listen, shop, squee 🙂
then you just show up. 😀
There will be a schedule of programming events a week or three before the event, so you can know which panels you’d like to attend. If you want to influence what panels are presented, you could ask for something like “Have you considered a panel on X topic? The following Y people I know are attending or that are showing as guests have Z expertise on this topic, and I know there’s a great deal of interest about it.” You could then also note your own expertise if you want to be a presenter/panelist.
Politely, and showing that you want to help. Some people like being on panels and others don’t, and some like being on specific panels but always seem to get put on panels with topics they may not care as much about. But being to show there’s interest in a panel topic (like “this was a topic at XYZ convention last year, and the room was full up, and a lively discussion was had”) is always helpful.
Thanks for the heads up on this. Got our memberships, now just hope that the Creeks don’t rise between now and then.
Hope to see all of you there.
John in Indy
Out in Nevada, we hope the Moapa Paiutes don’t rise the price of reservation gasoline! Dunno ’bout the Creeks.
Peter & I will be there.
This’ll be the first Convention I’ve ever been to. I’m looking forward to it!
(Twenty year olds can rent hotel rooms on their own, right? I’m suddenly realizing that might be an issue.)
If should be. If not, e-mail me (blog addy is at AlmaTCBoykin at wordpress DOT com. The “About” page on my blog has my e-mail).
Meaning it should be fine for you, but if not . . .
Ah, good. Thank you!
Yep, you can. You just can’t rent a car which is stupid. Dan and I did, tons, but now you have to be 26.
Okay, that’s good to know. I have a car at the moment, so as long as it doesn’t break down between now and then, I should be just fine.
Or in the military!
The rental car thing is because insurance rates are much higher for drivers under 25.
I know. It’s still annoying.
Was there just when it opened, grabbed our normal 2 tickets. See y’all there!
I’m in! Next year in Chattanooga!
Oh, good. Missed you this year.
I was a wee ways away to commute to LC this year.
Well, now, I didn’t day you couldn’t have had a good reason. I just said I missed you. Hell, my girlfriend had to cancel, so I didn’t even get to see her.
I missed TXRed too.
<Dances
Yay!
Woohoo, I got tickets for me and my wife for 2023. This year’s LibertyCon was her first SF convention ever, and she enjoyed herself, much to her surprise. In fact, she was out doing something with a visiting friend this afternoon and texted me in a panic, urging me to hurry up before it was too late. I’d finished up 90 minutes earlier. 🙂
Gosh darn it! I thought I had a reminder on my calendar for this and I didn’t see the announcement in time. I will NOT be at LC 2033. No ticket for me.
I’m so bummed.
😦 Now I’m bummed too. Contact Brandy and get on the waiting list. Some people always drop off.
LOL. Sold out.
I wanted to have a go, but sadly I am a prisoner of Fortress Canada behind the Great Covid Beaver Dam. Or Damn, as the case may be. 😡
Guess we are going to have to start an Underground Railroad for Canadian USIANS.
Yes.
Vivi Frei seems to have made an escape, and he’s pretty prominent, so getting others out shouldn’t be too hard. Maybe . . .
I got my ticket! Woot!
YAY
