Boy, that was a great con! I was surprised at how early it was. Guess the Paizo guys know best, though. So many special guests, and so much good food, and what a Society event! I sure never expected them to legalize that race, but hey, since the race had just a one-time-only event to earn, I suppose it's not that risky. Glad I didn't miss it. I guess I'll see you all in PaizoCon 2016!

PaizoCon PROTIP: If you fly to Paizocon, take an extra vacation day after the day you plan to fly home.
Connecting flights from SEA typically overbook. That means they'll be asking for volunteers to bump. If you bump to the next day's flight, the airline will you up in a hotel for free and give you meal vouchers. More importantly, they'll give you a voucher for a ticket in the continental US.
You then use that voucher to buy your Paizocon ticket for next year when the dates are announced.

DO NOT settle for that. A little known fact that most flyers are unaware of is their airlines carrier agreement. What they offer you is essentially a low-ball settlement because the standard flyer is not informed.
Depending on the length of delay and the airline, you can get upwards to 4x the cost of your ticket back in a check. One of my friends who was flying over the holiday week got bumped for longer than an 8 hour period, he was entitled to just over $1,200 in a check. Your carrier will deny all knowledge of this unless you pull up the carrier agreement. They will attempt to give you an airline ticket voucher instead of cash.
...the more you know!

The link to PaizoCon disappears off the main page right after the convention each year (give a week or so). Would be sad not to see you there!
FYI, I do think the delay in announcement may be because they have already announced most of the details, so it's mostly a matter of the store being updated, which seems one of the harder hit areas the last few months (re: bugs and such).

Not true.

Not entirely untrue—PaizoCon is bigger than ever this year, and there are so many moving parts to it that it takes a while for those dire ducks to get all lined up.

Since there are two very similar threads, I'm going to lock this one up to direct the conversation to the other: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2r8cv?PaizoCon-2015-Memorial-Weekend.
