Anyway to put the question to the official Convention staff?

Lots of folks are posting that they are bringing laptops.

It would be cool to check out the Artist Colony folks websites right away, so it would not just be for gamers.
Some people will probably even be blogging the convention.

If it is too late,

On another thread the official ConnetiCon answer is that they have tried in the past, yet could not get any consession out of the cenvention center staff.

They charge what they charge to everyone, including businesses that use the center. Supposedly, if they gave us a discount, then they would have to give others a discount.

So, everyone to Startbucks for WiFi (purportedly free) and java to keep up the party!

Basically, no, we won’t have any WiFi access.

Yeah, it would be prohibitively expensive, and as long as we’re Console Gaming and not Video Gaming (no PCs) then I don’t think we much need it.

Oh, and not to give away the movie-quote fun for anyone else, but you should look for Mungo getting a one-hit K.O. on a horse.

Although I’m going to try to get at least one more bank of system-linked games for next year - and enough hard drives/memory cards to run Call of Duty 4.
