So Notch has raised the possibility of Minecraft con to coniside with the release date of nov 11 2011 he suggested vegas and put up a poll of who's come if they charged 90 bucks just for the conference (hotel food gambling and hookers etc not included). Though they've subsequently added another poll on where it should be http://notch.tumblr.com/post/5396435441/since-polls-are-fun-heres-anothe...
I'd probably go if it's in vegas assuming I have the holiday to do it as it's now not such a horrendous trip from where I am.
