If my journal from last year is anything to go by, the email with the finalists came out on 15 July, two weeks before the con. Since the con's a week later this year, I'd estimate that we'll have the list sometime this year between then and the 23rd.

Well, that might get you a nice, quick (but rather pricey) ride to the con, but probably not help you get in. :wink:

I'm just glad that I didn't make any bets about getting into the convention *snicker* beyond promising myself to get real hosting if I make it into the contest...

Anou... I know I'm probably going to look like a real dumbass for this, but what does "CLATU, VERATA, NIKKTU" refer to...?

Not a dumbass- just less of a nerd than a lot of us. It's from two places, actually- I'm sure of one, less sure of the other.

Originally, if my memory is right, it's from The Day the Earth Stood Still, and was a password/invocation to activate a robot (never actually seen the movie, sorry...).

In the context we're using it, it's from Army of Darkness, where it is the 'magical words' necessary for several spells involving the Necronomicon. Bruce Campbell's character, Ash (where my nickname comes from), has a minor problem remembering them properly... :wink:
