.... QuakeCon is held in Mesquite, TX as that is the home of id Software. The biggest advantadge of being close to id is easy access to id employees. They come to QuakeCon to see how much you guys enjoy playing their games, and to play a little themselves.
And make no mistake, Carmack can frag with the best of them.
The facilities we use for QuakeCon are tremendous. The Hampton Inn is the hotel connected to the Convention Center we've used the past two years ('99, '00). There are several other hotels within a 5 minute drive that offer other options at different rates.
Mesquite is on the East side of the Dallas Metro area. Depending on where you're coming from you have two options for flights. DFW is a HUGE airport, but is on the far West side of Dallas. American Airlines hubs out of DFW, finding an affordable direct flight should be fairly easy. There are shuttle services that can take you to and from your hotel, but you'll want to call your hotel to arrange one. Cab rides are very expensive from DFW.
Love Field is a smaller airport, but its a lot closer to the event. However Southwest controls nearly 90% of the gates at that airport. So your range of airline options are somewhat limited. If you're flying Southwest though, its the only way to go. Also, a cab ride from here is probably going to be 1/3 of what it is from DFW.

Religious factions with assistance from MADD, RNC, Britains BBC, ELF, EFF, EPIC, ACLU, and 50 million other acronyms you never heard of, announced today the creation of another acronymed organization set to make its debut at Quakecon.
Dubbed HAVOC, or Homosapiens Against Violence On Computers, the group is targeting Quakecon in efforts to halt millions of geeks from "fragging" each other into oblivion.
"We shouldn't educate our children on what is and what isn't violent in society. The process is simple, attack the gaming industry, porn industry, poisonous media outlets, and rap music, in order to make the world safer. Why the hell would I want to speak to my kid?" stated an angry parent known as Hilda.
The group is hoping to pass out buttons, stickers, and T-Shirts of Barney the purple dinosaur in hopes of circumventing the angers of millions of video gamers.
