# TOWN CON INFORMATION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TOWN CON is a celebration of tilde.town's 10 year anniversary featuring 24 hours of talks, art, and music by townies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TOWN CON begins at 0:00 UTC on October 11, 2024 and ends 23:59 UTC on October 12, 2024.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is an additional day of TOWN CON on October 12th for townies attending TOWN CON MEAT EDITION in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## DIGITAL EVENT
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TOWN CON's primary locus of reality will be here on the server in a text-mode environment. This environment will be supplemented with audio/video feeds as needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Works submitted by townies will all be slotted into a viewing schedule to run throughout the 24 hours of the event. The text-mode environment will either show the submitted work or have a pointer off to where it can be consumed in a browser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The text mode environment will either be a HERMETICUM instance (if I finish the project in time) or just IRC.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

### VENUE and LODGING
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The venue is a converted warehouse loft located at:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Loft 606
|
||
|
|
2605 W Armitage Ave,
|
||
|
|
Chicago, IL 60647
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The venue has enough sleeping space to lodge everyone who expressed interest in coming in person, however some people will need to volunteer to sleep on couches. I have the venue reserved for:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- the evening of October 10th (feel free to arrive this day!)
|
||
|
|
- all day October 11th
|
||
|
|
- all day October 12th
|
||
|
|
- the morning of October 13th (feel free to leave this day!)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The total cost to book this venue was **$8,637**. I've paid for it out of pocket and would love if townies could help chip in for the cost. As of right now (`2024-08-31`) I have received **$0** of chip in and will update this as I get donations.
|
||
