I'm not going to wear any pants at Defcon.
If i was going i wouldn't wear them either.
I would wear capris just to weird people out.
-
I'm officially going to Defcon now. I plan to beat up a newb and steal their badge so I don't have to pay. Anyone want to do a PLA Panel?

I'll be attending phreaknic and dallascon this year......are their any here attending either of the cons?
-
no Defcon for me...i'll be in Idaho, fending off my psychotic relatives for a week while Defcon is going on.
anyone who wants to swing by Boise, kidnap me, and bring me to Defcon, however, would be much loved.

I'm not allowed at Phreaknic anymore, since the incident...

This sounds like a job for....The Render Man and his trusty sidekick Grey Frequency, to the rescue!
I dunno about a panel (I mean, we already did one and Brad was to lazy to show up) but I think it would be very cool to have a PLA Radio episode take place there. ;D
-
i thought i'd be in vegas for that weekend but not at defcon itself....
sadly i won't be around either vegas nor defcon as of now.

Here's info on this year's Defcon badges: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/08/exclusive-defco.html (http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/08/exclusive-defco.html)
-
Due to work things I did not end up going :'( I will be at DallasCon though as that is my local turf.
-
So...Defcon 2009. Who's going? I'll probably be there even though I can't afford it.
-
i'm a definite yes for Defcon. :D
-
i'm a definite yes for Defcon. :D
Is RTF going? We'll have to get together for some sort of evil adventure. RijilV will probably be around too and I'm hoping he'll lend me some floor space.
-
I will be attending, have my room booked + plane.
-
you lucky bastards.. i wish i had the dough to go to one of those "defcon" thingamajigs.
-
Just saw this on the front page "Defcon is a fun environment for all ages where you can make explosives, trash hotel rooms, stab hookers and drink until you die of alcohol poisoning". I must have been missing out in past years i have went i have not got to do any of these things yet ;D
-
I just wanted to see if the Defcon Legal Team would yell at us as they've done in the past.
-
Is there a similar situation like HOPE at defcon with people just sleeping in tents/cots and on the floor instead of getting a room. I've never been to defcon but at the last 2 HOPE's i didnt get a room and just hung out on the floors the entire time. They even had nice cots setup at the last 2, which seemed like they where pretty much encouraging it. If its similar at defcon then i'm going for sure. I rarely sleep at cons anyway.

as far as i know, RTF's on the fence about it, but i am going to use my Evil RogueClown Powers to convince him that Defcon will be a good idea, and that he totally wants to go to Defcon with me. ;-)

Tell him I'll buy him a grape Kool-aid if he shows up! That should entice him!
Cots at Defcon? I've never seen any there, but maybe I just don't look hard enough. Sounds like a really useful idea though. I sure wouldn't mind sleeping on a cot to offset Defcon's retarded cool electronic badge fee. I think it was $130 for the badge last year, wasn't it? I sold my badge on Ebay a week later and got about $30 - $40 of that back. Screw momentos and useless electronics, I want cheap, ugly, paper badges.
-
130 sounds about right it was either 120 or 130 i cant rember its been so long. I personally have not seen cots laying around, i doubt they would let you do in the riv halls or anywhere (would work if you can find someone who would let you put it in thier room).
-
I'm thinking of attending, all id have to do is save up enough for the badge and alcohol for the weekend. It's only two hours from home and I've got some free hotel nights that I can use at a motel right around the corner from the Riviera. I'd have plenty of floor space and most likely an extra bed. Also I'd be driving from LA/OC area if anyone is up to share a ride.
-
I'd like to attend but I'm not sure if I'd be able to find a room. But the room aside I've never been to a hacker con before. Sure, I've attended a few comic cons, anime conventions and even a bizarre cooking convention showing off all sorts of odds and ends of the cooking world. You aren't hardcore until you've used a spatula that is designed SPECIFICALLY for hamburgers.
Maybe, just maybe, I'm an ass and really couldn't tell what was so special about that spatula. It was seven years ago. Might of been drugged.
Regardless, I want to attend and being my first con I just wouldn't know where to start. Someone tell me if it's worth spending the cash and showing up.

I've never felt ripped off after attending a con, even after paying Defcon's insane entrance fee. It's always a fun, hackerish atmosphere where you get to pick locks, play on networks, browse the giant merchandise room and listen to boring talks. Best of all you meet people from the PLA Forums. How can you go wrong with that? You didn't get to meet people from the PLA Forums at your cooking convention, did you? I didn't think so.
Come to Defcon, where PLA forum members will smother you with uncomfortable hugs and kisses!
-
Don't forget about the drugs. So much drugs all fucking weekend.

Couldn't you just sneak into Defcon like you did Shmoocon?
-

I didn't have much choice at Shmoocon since I wasn't one of the lucky few to purchase a badge. My original plan at Shmoo was to just borrow someone's badge to get past the door person, then send their badge out with someone else. I only ended up having to do that once, though, since we found the back entrance.
I miss the good ole days when I couldn't believe Defcon was raising the price from $40 to $80.

Shoot, I'll even come on here and post saying I'm going. Haven't gotten the plane tickets yet, but I'll be there for sure.
Its a non-HOPE year, so the turnout should be pretty big.

So when is the next annual PLA Forums cook off anyway?

And if there's one thing Defcon needs, it's more of a crowd!
-

Best way to experience any hacker con is to be so pumped full of drugs that you have to sort through Flickr photos to remember what happened. Best unsolved mysteries ever! :nonsense:
Oh and it depends if I win the retarded art challenge. Or if they accept my talk next year. HOPE is on the expensive side, DEF CON is a six foot dick up your ass made out of pennies.
Or as I like to call it, a Dick of A Thousand Lincolns!
-
I wish I could go, but I'm going to have to say the same thing I said last year, I'm still too young.
-
...and any of you who are going to defcon should really, really come to my talk about legal issues in the formation of hackerspaces. :D
-

My plans have been super changed. I'm going to try my best to show up; what with this being the first hacker con I can afford to go to.
And like HOPE, is there a chance that all or most of the segments will be taped or some form of manuscript for later reading?
Apparently it is. Don't know why I never bothered to check the "hard drive" section of the DEFCON page.
In so far as that, would anyone have floor space they could rent a diabetic?
-
I'm planning on going. Now to figure out how in the blue hell I'm getting myself there and back..
-
make a jet pack! :-D
-
im going to defcon!!!! finaly i can afford to go!!
-

As much as i'd love to drive you over there I can't get enough time off from work to be able to do this...
or so I think.
Hmm... I'll find out tomorrow.
-
yes, I-Ball! come to Defcon, too! :D
you know you want to...i've heard there's a guitar hero contest there, and since guitar hero is a full-band game now, we need our drummer!!! ^.^
-
I thought I-Ball and I were driving out, but i guess we'll find out tomorrow.
-
i might try to make it to one of the cons but it sux that i cant go 2 this 1

i'm just hoping that any PLA phone room expeditions are not during the hacking competition, like shmoocon... >.>
-
so, Defcon is just a few days away. when's everyone getting to Vegas?
i'll be getting in Tuesday, and leaving on the following Monday.
-
I'm getting in Thursday evening and leaving Sunday evening. Damn, Tuesday? Be sure to try and sneak into Blackhat.
-
I'm getting in late Tuesday night (or Wednesday morning if the plane is late) and I'll need a place to crash until Wednesday evening. If nobody offers me a space I will be forced to whargarbl.
-
do like you did at the last con, and just steal some cute girls bed when she's not in it.

i'm not going to try and sneak into the con, since i've got a lot to do those days anyway (specifically, an informal BarCamp-style unconference called Security B-Sides...), but i'm DEFINITELY going to try and get into some BlackHat parties. sure, they're not as wild as Defcon parties from what i hear, but i also hear that the swag is positively kickass. ^.^

I'm flying in with I-ball. He's going to poke holes in his overnight bag and sneak me on the plane, it's going to rule.

just don't bark too much, or they might move you to the cargo bay.

I LIVE in California and I'm too lazy to drive over to Vegas: probably because I need to get my driver's license first. : ( Otherwise I would most definetly be there.
