You ever had a group of close friends, where over time you develop in-jokes and anecdotes together until one of you can say "umbrella!" and you all break out laughing while everyone else thinks you're crazy?

Humans form bonds and shorthands together. Keep a group of humans in relative isolation for a long time and they'll personalize their own method of communicating with each other.

lol Don't take MARTA anywhere, D*C or no. I could've told you that.

Yeah, getting a room at a reasonable rate can be a pain, but once you do it once you're in the grandfathered group to get first chance at one next year. It's really worth staying at the con so you can enjoy all the late-night activities and socializing. D*C is the best con I've been to, nothing else is quite like it. Every group of four nerds from every small town for 800 miles all show and realize they are not alone. It's an insane sense of camaraderie and exuberance.
