IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT BEFORE IAN BRUENE KILLS ME

Posted on by Sarah A. Hoyt

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.

        1. 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.

          2. 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…….

            1. 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.

      3. 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.

  11. 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.

      1. 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…

      3. yah my question should have been – will there be signups on Eventuny or whatnot – or what kind of announcement to look for?

        1. oh dear, festival seating style? Aren’t most of us a little old or introverted for that?

          2. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. 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.)

  17. 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. :-)

  18. 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.
