So thanks to Luis and Trixter, all of our 2012 video is online, and a big chunk of our 2010 video. Still working on 2011 and 2013 (we have trouble with odd numbers).
This includes seminars, compo entries (party versions as well as captures), and performances, as well as the entire contents of Trixter's Memories of NAID DVD. We've got playlists of all categories nicely put together. Also, we added a link to the slide deck for Bathsheba's popular talk on symmetry groups.

The 400s (after conversion to USD) listed above seem to be about on par or higher than what I find to come from the northwest US. :) [Almost] no reason anyone this way should skip out. :P
(I could get a decentish deal, but where I live you're stuck: you either pay higher to fly out of town, or you can get a cheaper ticket at a nearish larger airport only to reduce the benefit by paying out in gas for the long trip and more expensive long-term parking fees. :-/ Such is life. The airfare to Revision will cost me over twice as much. Whee.)

And which airline combo would that be ?
The only way I can match the 483 brussels rate is with turkish airlines thru istanbul.
anything more direct thru madrid or london is in the 700 range.

yes, and?
Better Istanbul than CDG.
Also, you'll have to stop *somewhere*
The point is, it is doable.
What folks choose to do is up to me.
This is a different party than Nordlicht, which is about the same size. It is also different than Blockparty, PixelJam, Demosplash, Récursion, Coma, NVision, or Spring Break.
