8 reasons to attend Icrontic Expo 2015
So you're saying a high ropes course, biking brewery tour, video game tournaments, board games & card flopping, beer & wine tastings, party games, a food tour, Icrontic swag, and 50 friends weren't enough to lure you to Expo? Man, you're a tough sell. Fine, here's 8 more reasons to register immediately.
In no particular order:
- Expo is the most fun with friends you can pack into 4 days. It's dizzying how much we do.
- It is the very best, most non-stressful way to meet new friends because we have vetted every person here (they are awesome) and we have structured events.
- Detroit is an amazing, beautiful, rapidly-changing city and this is the perfect way to visit it.
- You will remember it for the rest of your life. More memories are made at Expo than every other event combined.
- You should never assume, "there will always be next year" because one day that won't be true.
- This can be the most inexpensive or most indulgent of vacations - it's fully customizable to your taste & budget.
- This is when you will maximize meeting the most other Icrontians.
- It's currently the only way to get Icrontic swag (everyone gets a t-shirt & badge, plus great door prizes).

What's your reason for coming to Expo this year?

LAST YEAR OF EPIC CONFIRMED
Every year is always the last year in my mind until the final tickets are sold.
I feel like ever-more folks take its existence for granted and have de-prioritized coming to it. And hey, that's cool, things change... but don't assume it'll still be around in 5 years if enough folks start thinking that way.
Recruit your friends and figure out how to get up here THIS year!
@UPSLynx
Funny how once you actually go to one, this thought process is completely opposite. You start counting down and planning next year as soon as you leave.
Yeah, except for when they don't
You forgot:
9.) Hang out with actual royalty-- Gnome Queen, leader of the noble gnomish people and all around great gal. When she laughs, my jaw drops!
There will always be a next year of me not coming. I hate you. You aren't my real dad.
I'm TECHNICALLY probably old enough to be though. YOU NEVER KNOW.
That would have made you 10. @primesuspect Your game isn't that good.
I am though.
My additional reasons to go would be to play Monster Hunter in person with my recruits that are going (1). More fun and better opportunity for help. Also try and recruit more into the hunting party (2 hunters enter EXPO, 4 or more leave it). I'd also like to teach people about some things once I learn them myself. Things like Rainmeter and Game Design. I'd also like to serve some New Mexican food. The biggest reason isn't even related to Icrontic at all; I'd get a chance to visit family in that area.
Rah, if you make it, I'd love to get in on this Monster Hunter gig. I'll buy it while you're here.
Uncle Linc wants YOU for Icrontic! Enlist at ICHQ.
Someone who can Photoshop meme this.
I got 99 mentions and an attendee ain't one.

I swear there's always something that prevents me from going to EPIC. Let's see, shall we? Hurricane Sandy, babby, in-laws visiting, son's communion, new jorb. I give up. I'm going to have to come to terms with the fact that I'm never going to EPIC again.
If you're having EPIC problems I feel bad for you son.

@Kwitko block out calendar for next year right now.
Man, all these people that aren't coming from one year to the next. I feel bad for missing it just once, and that was because I was moving to Florida that week in 2005. I should have planned better.
I'd love to, but unfortunately I had to take my vacation the week before.
If everything goes to plan then this will be the last EPIC I miss.
I'll be broke and in school. Also, during EPIC i'll be drinking like it's French Canadian 4th of july
Thanks for the mention @Linc. I can't this year, have an important wedding. I'm likely to miss next year for the same reason. It's very painful to miss, the ones I made it to were some of the best times of my life.
I might be able to swing in over the weekend, but I'm not counting it too likely.
No vacation time left this year (thanks America) and too many things happening. Still trying to see what I can do, though.
I'ma be in Panama City doing badass Navy things. I'd rather be at Expo though :/
@Cola: really? Thats about 2 hours from me.
Yeah man, I'll hit you up while I'm down there
If I paid for a previous year and didn't make it, can I show up for free at this or another EPIC in the future? Or maybe I just might show without warning as "MYSTERY GUEST 'X' ".
Larry, of course
Wooohooo!!!
