UPDATE: Some of you are asking if there is a way to know that you indeed have reserved tickets. If you got the confirmation screen when you signed up, then you do, but if ANY of you have concerns and want to make sure, please email me and I will check it for you. myextralife at gmail dot com.
It has come to my attention that people who signed up for tickets, that have a yahoo email address, are not getting my email updates about the event. First of all, shame on you, Yahoo. Can’t seem to tell a spam message from a hole in the ground. Secondly, I will start putting these updates on the blog so those who might miss the emails will still have a chance to see what’s going on.
If you signed up for tickets, but are not able to attend for some reason, PLEASE email me and let me know. I have a load of alternates who are hoping for any remaining tickets there might be, and the only way I can give them that hope is to know when others are not able to come. Every ticket I have cost full price for me, so it would be really cool if you let me know. Of course, if you are coming then no worries…that’s what the ticket is for!
There are only 19 days left, and I am super excited for Nerdtacular. Seeing all you guys, watching a killer movie (we hope), and giving out some rocking prizes…hard to beat any of that.
Out of towners should note that there is a special thread in the forums designed just for you. Find people to hitch rides with, share hotel rooms with, etc. right here.
Speaking of prizes, here is the updated list of just some of the things I will be giving away this year:
- Two XBOX 360′s.
- My Fat Punisher print signed by me, and also signed by Punisher creator, Gerry Conway.
- Additional signed artwork
- WoW loot cards
- WoW miniatures starter sets.
- Helicopter rides (not totally confirmed but working on that)
- Jinx T-shirts
- DVD’s
- DogHouse Systems swag (working on what this will be)
- Much MORE!
If you dress up in some sort of Trek costume, or don the look of a trek character, you’ll be in the running for some of these big prizes.
If you or someone you work for wants to provide additional items for giveaway at the event, drop me a line and let me know. There is plenty of time. It makes you an official sponsor of the event, and gives you a chance to make some geek somewhere very happy.
Huge thanks to this list of major sponsors of the event like MajorSpoilers, Josh Fetner, Jeff Syer, Jynx, the “Mysterious Korean”, Gerry Conway, and more.
I will post new updates here as the day gets closer. We should know any day now regarding the exact time our showing begins on the 9th. I will put that up on the blog, twitter about it, and email the ticket holders. Should catch everyone that way. For additional info, check out Nerdtacular.com.
Yahoo is better than gmail
@joe your kidding right?
People do realize that they could filter out the Extralife emails to a folder if you’re using Yahoo, right?
Joe? Really? hey…wait a sec…are you sending that comment from an alternate reality where Yahoo mail is awesome? Tell us the truth.
Thanks for the update Scott!
Just a quick “hoping I didn’t miss the message” have you sent out emails with tickets yet? I had been receiving all the messages so I don’t think I missed it but just wanted to make sure…..
Thanks! So looking forward to it!!!
Yes, please! someone email in that you are going to have to bail. I sooooooo want your tickets. Granted, if I can’t get Nertacular tickets, I am still buying some and going to see it, but I really want to be part of the festivities.
Pout, pout, SAD PUPPY DOG EYES, pout….
I can visualize it now…
Kid: “Dad, can’t I win the big prizes without having to do this?”
Dad: “Nope, Scott says you have to dress up Trek in order to win them.”
Kid: “But do I have to wear this? Why can’t I go as a Star Fleet officer?”
Dad: “There’s no way Star Fleet would allow an 8 year old to wear the uniform so you’re going as Alexander and that’s that!”
Hahaha helicopter rides are you serious? That is AWESOME! Next you’ll be telling me you get to ride Nerdtacular Elephants
Can not wait see you all there!!!!!!
You lucky bastards who get to go there better eat a Dorito for me. I’m living in China were we got no WoTLK and no cool events you guys have! *Sigh*
BTW Scott, those prizes are wicked! I mean 2 X-boxes?
2 words: Awe-Sum
SCOTT!!! I REALLY want to go to the nerdtacular. I’ll pay for the ticket and drive up there myself
Dude! Sounds super cool, I really wish that I could go…
Scott, Just want to verify. Do we have to dress up to be eligible for any of the prizes, or are there special prizes for people who do dress up. My wife and I were planning on wearing our his and her “GEEK” shirts. But if we have to dress up in Star Trek garb for prized, then we have to get hopping to find costumes.
*bounces*
Aw, man – I can’t wait for this!
Some of the top top prizes are going to trek people. Others will go to the people with the most EL spirit.
As much as i hear Scott say how the UK is awesome, right now for this event…. it kinda blows….. think i can make it to Nerdtacular on a raft?
How many people are planning on dressing up?
