I called Rob over at Gamer's Realm yesterday and got confirmation about = my Shorecon 2003 ticket. There was a burp in the system and he signed = onto the web page and fixed it for me.=20 I guess you could say he is the guy behind Shorecon 2003 and I took the = chance to ask him some questions about the con: They are going to a totally online format for registration and keeping = track of events because it saves a load of cash in printing costs (they = took a bath over 2001 because it happened like one week after 9-11). = Also, events will be kept up to date rather than having the mismatches = between what was in the program book printed one month before the = convention and the actual convention. Supposedly a lot of conventions = are going the online route. The reason they are switching hotels is because the Cherry Hill Hilton = was doubling its price while at the same time calling Shorecon valued = customers.
