You can put me on the list too.

My name is Evan Harasem and my dried up old crusty website is http://www.littleghosties.com/ (Yes, need to update it one of these days.) and I would be considered a local Manitoban.

Thanks.  

Also my tshirt form has been filled out.

[RabTom]

Filled out my form

Cost of tshirt is included in your registration fee.

I sent the form, but I accidentally hit small instead of medium. I resubmitted it as medium, but not sure if that would remove my previous form submission... So.. if there's a duplicate entry, except for the t-shirt size, just remove the "small" one. 

Cheers!

No worries, if we see duplicates we'll use the latest entry.

Hey, is there any chance that anybody has some extra cash I could borrow to make this event? Sounds pretty moochy, but I'm working my ass off on a contract job right now, and I get paid $6000 at the end of this month, but I almost certainly won't have the money in time to purchase my ticket and travel fare. I really really really want to make this event, and I only have about $200 to my name right now so I can cover a chunk of the cost.

I don't think I've wanted to make it to an event so bad before, so I was really distrought when I found out that I'll be missing it because my pay is coming a few days too late, and have been quite down about it the last couple days.

Anyways, PM me or email me ([email protected]) if anybody wants to be my savior. <3 If not, it's all good and I hope you guys have a great time!

EDIT: By "borrow" I DO mean that I will pay back too, as soon as possible.

Okay awesome! Thanks to a few Paypal donations, I've raised about $50 now, which puts me at about $250. I don't know much about booking flights, but Air Canada tells me there's a $199 Tango trip on the 28th while browsing the round-trips to return on the 31st. Does that mean it's a round-trip for that fare or is that just one way? I know embarrasingly little about flights, I've only been on a plane about 2-3 times in my life

EDIT: Okay I read a little bit harder and that's $199 each way at the cheapest it seems. I might be able to pull this off... It seems that it'll come to about $520 for the flight. I could take the Greyhound and land the trip at about $344 instead though, which is significantly cheaper, and I'm not too proud to take the painfully long bus ride :D

EDIT: Alright, so I need about $150 more to pay for the round-trip and give me the minimum amount to cover other various costs (eat food? bah who needs it!) I might yet be able to make this.

Whoah!! Chevy, man, we have some money to help out with airfare! Don't go broke getting here!!    

Email the Alec, we will help out <3

[ChevyRay]

Well, thanks to the generosity Terry, Radix, Sereneworx, Jordan, Ted, and Justin, I've raised $375 in donations, which completely covers the busfare! That saves my own money for the TIGJam ticket and food. If you guys have spare travel money and want to bump that up to fly me in, that'd be awesome, but totally isn't necessary; it's a day-long trip by bus, but will totally be worth it. There might be someone else who needs it

EDIT: And don't worry about me going broke I've been ass-broke for 3 years! I like to think of it as a way of life, not a condition

[Alec]

You should shoot us an email, and let us know how much your flight might cost. In all likelihood we can cover it. (or at least, help cover it)

[Alec]

If you haven't registered, now is the time. We're ordering t-shirts in a day or two, and if we don't know your sizes, you might not get one that fits!

Sign up here, and you should get a form emailed to you with important information to fill out. http://tigjamwpg.eventbrite.com/

[Shaun]

I don't think I'll be able to register until Thursday at the earliest, due to not having any money online.

[ChevyRay]

Registered.

[___]

Registered.

Oh SHIT.

[ChevyRay]

I'm confused with the online form. It asks for my arrival/departure dates and possibly a flight number, and then asks me if I need help with travel costs (which I do). What do I do? Because I won't know my flight until I can get the money together to purchase it... should I just write down the flight that I plan on taking?

ah, that's what I'll do.

@xerus: You bet your beans, Oh SHIT!

[Matt Thorson]

I made some money recently and was about to sign up for this but it turns out I'm moving into a new place the weekend of the jam. Can't make it, but have fun everyone! I'll be there in spirit.

[Alec]

ah, that's what I'll do.

Yeah, just email us and tell us what's up or make it clear on the form what's going on, it's all good.

[ChevyRay]

I filled out the form! Good thing, too. I'm tiny (BUT I HAVE A BIG HEART), and even a medium shirt'd be too big for me. Anyways, the cheapest in-flight I can get is on the 27th at 10PM, which is pretty ugly :/ but all my other options were $50-100 more expensive, and the other cheap option came in on the middle of the day on the 29th, which is pretty lame. Anyways, $200 should cover what I need to cover the round trip (if you guys are able to provide that with your travel funds) combined with what I got, and that'll leave me at least with the clothes on my back. :D

So excited!

[Alec]

Sweet, do you need $$ in advance, or can we pay you when you get here?

[PsySal]

Hey guys, I am finding this pretty irresistable. So much so that I can't even spell irresisteble.

Two questions, apologies if these were in the thread and I missed it:

- Can I register now even if I will maybe not be able to make it? Or will that really mess things up for you guys?
- What are the accomodation options? I also can't spell accomedation. Like is there a nearby hostel or maybe we can just sleep on the floor at the studio or...? Maybe just not sleep at all, like Chevy! Lately I'm not far from it, actually...
- What's the best times to plan for? Like if I have to leave at 7pm on Sunday night will I miss stuff? Like is there going to be a pillow fight on Sunday night starting at 7:15, followed by a meeting with the past governor general Adrienne Clarkson and her good friend David Suzuki who will award us medals? I wouldn't want to miss this and I know it happened last year...

My options are like, fly in Friday AM, bum around Winnipeg or hang out with some cool game developer dudes (dudettes?) then fly out Sunday PM (or Monday AM) which is going to cost about $500.

... or Greyhound it in on Friday AM to PM, and back Monday AM to PM. This looks to be about $300.

I don't really mind the Greyhound though I have a weird feeling my wife will rather if I take the plane.
