You don't have to vid to come to vividcon. At the moment, half the registrees are not vidders. The con is for *watching* and *talking* about vids. There are lots and lots of panels that are not about the making of vids.
Many of the people who come to vividcon are not vidders! It's mostly for watching and discussing vids, not making them. There's *lots* to do and see and talk about.
You can sign up without paying - the membership cap is 100. I believe we currently have 25 people signed up. If it turns out that you can't come / can't pay, we fill your spot with someone on the waiting list.
The exploding Earth is from Odyssey 5 - there was a vid last year which used this clip which pretty much became the talk of the con, and is now basically our second mascot, after the llama.
Also - the exploding clip *was* the talk of the con - the vid it is from "Haunted" blew everyone (literally - the Earth blew up) away during the Premiere show. Holler at me on AIM tonight and I'll send you the URL to the vid itself - I highly recommend it. I can also give you 101 reasons to attend VVC.
Ooooh. *is torn between Vividcon and Moonlight Rising, at which will be the ONLY East coast appearance of GotR this year, but is also in the raging boonies*
*wiffle*
*waffle*
*hemhaw*
Well, I don't know 100% that I'll be able to go, but dammit, I'm gonna bombard those people with vid submissions this year. Make up for missing it last year - hee!
You've got time to get the money - it actually is not that expensive at all - the hotel is very reasonable and the rooms have fridges so you can cut down on the food costs.
Also - did I mention the big, huge fun?? Cause there is. Big, Huge, Fun.
Yes, the Big, Huge, Fun is the draw :) and the hotel does look very reasonable, but I'm English, so the transatlantic flight is something of a money-grabber (currently going at about £600, which is crazy, 'cause for travelling in February it's a third of the price). But, definitely something to save up for, maybe.

I have Money Issues, also, so... hell, I wouldn't know for months if I can even afford it. *kicks the husband*
(BTW, what is the exploding-planet clip from? I keep thinking I recognize it. I'm going to feel like a dunce when you tell me, aren't I?)

Sigh. Yeah, I know - it really doesn't matter if you've seen him before. I understand...
