Roommate matchmaking post

Hello, friends of VividCon. The good news is: so many of you are coming to VividCon! The less good news is: Wow, we're running out of hotel rooms fast! Our room block at the group rate is definitely going to sell out before the July 11th deadline and there is not an endless supply of rooms to keep replenishing it.

So how about a good, old fashioned roommate matchmaking post?

Have at it in the comments, attending members. Good luck, and happy matchmaking!

$105/night for a King room
$115/night for a 2 Double room

All rooms are suites that contain a sofa that can turn into a bed.

Check out the SpringHill Suites Chicago O'Hare website to learn more about the hotel location and amenities. Our convention website's hotel page also features a summary of the amenities, for your convenience. (Hotel room reservation info will be up on the con's hotel web page before the end of the week.)

Rates for VividCon 2015 memberships and hotel rooms

Now that we've announced VividCon 2015 dates (August 7-9, 2015), let me also drop some dollar figures for your financial planning pleasure!

Attending memberships will again be priced at $100.00 and supporting memberships will again be $40.00. I expect Club Vivid bar wristbands and Saturday taco bar lunch prices to remain consistent, as well ($25 and $20, respectively).

Membership registration will begin in early 2015 (dates TBA as the new year approaches). I wish we could open registration now, but, sadly, the realities of the income tax cycle require that I keep VividCon's income and expenditures balanced within the same calendar year.

The con's hotel room rates will be $105 King and $115 Double and we'll make the reservation link available after we open registration in early 2015.

Thank you! We're looking forward to seeing everyone at the con next August!
