RTX Reminders

With RTX just around the corner I thought it would be helpful to post a few reminders for you guys regarding your visit to the event.

1. It will be warm out. Some of you may be coming from hotter places but some of you are definitely coming from cooler places. We are expecting temperatures in the mid 90s over the weekend, so make sure you stay hydrated and don't over exert yourself while outside. Also, sunblock is your friend in helping you prevent sunburns.
2. There may be mosquitos and bugs out this weekend. Mosquito repellant is your friend.
3. If you want to be featured as a zombie on Sunday please bring either some kind of distressed zombie attire and some zombie makeup would be a plus. We will have some rudimentary supplies however if you bring your own it will probably look much better.
4. We are not the only guests at the hotel. I'm sure it goes without saying, but please be respectful of other guests who may not be part of RTX and do not be the jackasses who are super loud keeping up other guests at night.
5. Be safe, have fun.

See you guys soon.

Good advice, thanks Gus!

Safe travels everyone! Don't say anything to get you detained, it's a bad way to start the event. Remember, if they ask you why you're going don't say, "to meet cockbites I know on the internet!"

Very good reminders.

Having arrived yesterday, I was struck with a wall of heat and humidity. Yay for air conditioning!

I'm looking forward to the heat... it will be a nice respite from the RIDICULOUS FUCKING TORNADOS.

Ill be in the air on my way to RTX this time tomorrow. So excited!

So, we are having high 70s for temps this week in Boston, and its the best weather so far this year. I have no idea how I will deal with the Texas heat... we will see.

Due to an injury suffered through no fault of my own, I MAY have contracted some sort of post-mortem reanimatory viral complex; I won't know for sure until the test results come back, or if my hair starts falling out in clumps. What I DO know is that I currently have several open bite wounds to my neck and head, which should serve me well for the zombie themed RT Short.

You don't think open bite wounds to my neck and head will get in the way of my flying out there, do you?

I typed up a whole journal revolving around #4! A gentle reminder of etiquette. You should all read it!

See most of you tomorrow!

Also, something EVERYONE should know is that, yes, Austin is very hot but it's also VERY temperamental.

We have a saying in Austin, "if you don't like the weather in Austin, just wait 10 min."

My point is everyone should bring a coat, an umbrella, and maybe a light sweater/jacket. Just in case.

Can't wait for RTX

Dang I am missing all the fun on the first night. I won't make it in until around 2 AM now.
I guess I'll get the badges Saturday morning. Will i be able to pay for the shuttles you are providing Saturday also? If no I can drive myself.

We will be there Friday afternoon. Not too much of a drive, thank goodness. We just have to drop off the kids Thursday, spend some obligatory time with the in-laws, then drive out Friday morning.

It's not going to be hot for me. The projected temperatures for Austin this weekend are actually a few degrees cooler than San Angelo, Texas, where I'm coming from. San Angelo is expected to be about 105 degrees this weekend. Austin is just under 100.

Anyway, it's going to be a blast. I can't wait to meet some awesome new people.

Griffon, you started to say something about the zombie costumes for RTX on today's podcast. . Can you make a post on in (preferably tonight) so we can make sure we are costumed according to what you guys are looking for?

Do we need to bring anything for picking up our badges? A print out email?

I'm guessing as long as you have some sort of ID (which you will probably need anyway if your travelling here to book into a hotel) you should be ok.

I have my letter they sent saying about the pool party at jacks (unless jack is richer than we think and he owns the hilton i think that may not happen :P ), hopefully i'll get it signed at the same time i pick up my badge :P

Thank you. I've been looking for this answer for a month now.

Let's hope I make it in one piece. Driving 13 hours tomorrow.
