Expo Icrontic 2017

Icrontic

<H2>MAN YOUR DIRIGIBLES</H2>
<P>It's our <STRONG>14th</STRONG> annual celebration of gaming and friendship in Detroit! Bring your friends and introduce them to why we save up vacation days every year. The venue is our 1899 Queen Anne home near the heart of the city in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. <A HREF="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g42139-Activities-oa30-Detroit_Michigan.html" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tour Detroit</A>, play games, enjoy amazing food, and buckle in for more than three days of wall-to-wall fun.</P>
<P>This year marks the start of the <STRONG>Helium Wars</STRONG>! Really, it was just the first idea that floated into our heads. But don't let visions of pirates and siphons weigh on your mind. Stay light on your feet and we'll have a gas as we compete to see whose dirigible survives year one.</P>
<H2>Costs</H2>
<P>This event is non-profit and heavily subsidized by your hosts. All proceeds go to event costs, upgrading event infrastructure for the future, kickstarting projects, and keeping Icrontic.com online the rest of the year.</P>
<P>All participants will receive a t-shirt with the event logo and an official event badge. Perhaps more!</P>
<H4>Extras!</H4>
<P>Events with extra costs are built right into this registration. This is the only signup! Ever! Please read details about each option (including its scheduling) carefully. Additionally:<BR></P>
<OL>
<LI>They are ALL limited capactity.</LI>
<LI>We'll use a lottery & waitlist at the end of ticket sales to determine overbooked event attendance and refund you at Expo if you are not allowed to participate.</LI>
<LI>Malty & Bagel Passes are non-refundable and no, you can't buy them later. They're great values, just do it.<BR></LI>
<LI>If you voluntarily withdraw from an extra event, we will <STRONG>only refund you if</STRONG> a replacement takes your spot.</LI>
<LI>"Prince" and "Pauper" payment options for non-alcohol extras work the same as ticket prices - hopefully it all evens out.</LI>
<LI>If you change your mind AFTER registration and want to be added to an extra, you will be put on the waitlist, not the lottery, if we're at capacity. Contact Lincoln.</LI>
</OL>

<H2><SPAN><SPAN>Accomodations</SPAN></SPAN></H2>
<P>House guests MUST read the <A HREF="https://icrontic.com/discussion/100656/icrontic-2017-events-accommodations" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">2017 Events & Accommodations</A> discussion for details about staying at the house and announce their intent to stay at ICHQ to Lincoln by the end of ticket sales.</P>
<P>Some Icrontic members recommend <A HREF="http://fave.co/1jJ0jYw" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Courtyard by Marriott in Dearborn" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Courtyard by Marriott</A> in Dearborn, which is about a 20 minute drive from ICHQ. There are also a wide variety of hotels close to ICHQ but hotels in the downtown Detroit area are pricey. If convenience trumps cost, please consider <A HREF="http://trumbullandporterhotel.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Trumbull & Porter</A> (closest), <A HREF="http://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/michigan/doubletree-suites-by-hilton-hotel-detroit-downtown-fort-shelby-DTTLFDT/index.html" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Doubletree Detroit" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Doubletree</A>, <A HREF="http://fave.co/MBYSQH" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Marriott downtown Detroit" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Marriot Downtown Detroit</A>, or <A HREF="http://fave.co/1jJ1maQ" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Holiday Inn Detroit" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Holiday Inn downtown</A>.</P>
<P>Also consider AirBnB options as many Icrontians have found great success in the neighborhood. The neighborhood here is Woodbridge, but Corktown and Midtown are also both very close and safe areas. If you stay at an AirBnB outside Woodbridge, talk to us about your parking situation so we can recommend your safest option. Remember: this is a big city! Leave nothing in your car, ever.<BR></P>
<H2>Chat & Email<BR></H2>
<P>There will be a chat during the event at icrontic.com/chat - stay tuned for on-the-fly updates and immature jokes.</P>
<P>There will ALSO be an Expo Newsletter this year, so keep an eye on your email leading up to <STRONG>and during</STRONG> the event.</P>
<H2>Schedule<BR></H2>
<P>This is a tentative schedule subject to change, so <STRONG>please check the forum often during the event.</STRONG><BR></P>

<H2>Disclaimers</H2>
<P>Lastly, the fine print: This is a private party and we reserve the right to deny anyone admittance or eject them at any time for any reason. Those under 21 are not permitted to consume alcohol. You must have an account on Icrontic.com to register and attend. Visiting the house during Expo for more than an hour requires a ticket - yes, even you, my darling - and even when less than an hour it requires the advance permission of the house residents.</P>
