1. Convinced Ben to come to Wenchcon. [Smile]

2. I rented a car from Enterprise. My insurance company recommended them. They only charge $10 extra per day for under 25 age drivers. I was looking at Alamo, but they said if you have two accidents in the past 36 months, even if you were at zero fault (which is MY case) that they won't let you rent. Which is stupid.

So anyway. There's going to be seven of us arriving at Hartsfield between 3-5 on Friday. Enterprise said that folks who are riding with me can ride the shuttle over to the rental place with me, no problem.

I'm not sure if we should do four to my car or what and how we'll get seven folks back.

Ideas?

CT [Razz]

Calvin-- If you can find a swing place, sure.

Mack-- Either Morbo or I will show up to haul some of you guys, don't worry. [Smile]

Hey, Morbo had the idea that we could have a book exchange! So bring any old paperbacks or whatever to trade (for someone else's old paper back that you haven't read [Wink] )

In that case I am *definitely* going to the thrift store on Friday morning to throw together a hobbit costume. [Big Grin]

I am not much for clubs, but I love to dance, so I will happily go out dancing. Swing would be awesome, but I'll take club style as well.

just to let three rooms full of people know, we'll probably be in quite late, as in early morning late. I don't know how you folks want to figure that out.

Here's what I came up with:

From a dance club site:
(It said they usually dance at Reunions Bar and Grill)

"Friday nights from 9PM to midnight (No Cover)
Reunions is located in the Marriott Hotel at Perimeter Mall.
246 Perimeter Center Parkway NE
Atlanta, GA 30346
770-394-6500

Sunday nights from 7PM to 10PM. Admission is $3 for members and $5 for non members. We usually have dance lessons from 5PM to 7PM."

(I looked up Reunions bar and grill and found the following)
"Reunions Bar & Grill is a great place where friends meet for food and fun. Enjoy burgers, sandwiches and pizza, as well as your favorite beer, wine or cocktail. Catch all the sports action on their big-screen TV. Open daily."

Other than that info, I found one other place:

"Make a Toast
Sip a cocktail and absorb the Rat Pack vibe at Leopard Lounge (84 12th St., Atlanta, 404-875-7562), where velvet-draped furniture and leopard walls set the mood. DJs are featured on Thursdays, and swing bands play on Fridays."

[Eek!]

I'll be getting in between 6:30 and 8pm-ish, depending on what time I leave. I have an appointment with a professor at 1:00 discussing my script, but it shouldn't take that long.

When I start getting closer, perhaps I'll give you a call on your phone, Noah, to make sure I know where all the Happenins are at.

PS - I refuse to be an elf.

We are not doing the dance thing on Friday. For one thing, Jenny G won't even be IN until the wee hours, and I'm NOT getting jiggy without her. [Big Grin]

Plus, all those places are downtown. Even the upscale places downtown have a history of being places where bad stuff happens. And I don't wanna drive that far. So there [Wink] [Razz]

Reminders:

[*]Bring books you don't want anymore to trade.

[*]Bring a t-shirt for signing by the gang

Bring a bathing suit and some sort of LotR costume.

Taal, you could always just not shave or bathe, and wear clothes that have been rolled in mud. Voila! You're a Ranger. [Big Grin]

Friday night Fun suggestion:

Ben found a new improve comedy play at Dad's Garage in Atlanta at 10:30 on Friday. I've offered to drive down. Ben is obviously going, Fugu said he's in as well. If we can get three more folks, we get a $2 discount off our $12 tickets.

Anyone in?

You know you want to.

You do.

Can I come as 'Narrator Of The Hobbit'? I'll walk around with a charming faux-British (although remarkably authentic sounding) accent, carrying around a copy of the Red Book, and keep telling people how things used to be 'back in the day', and scoff when people claim that Hobbits never existed, and the events of the Closing of the Third Age are all completely fictional.

I will also insist that all dwarves have multi-colored beards.

Just keep in mind that anything you do Friday night that involves driving away from the hotel will be leaving Shlomo, JaneX, narrativium, and me out, as we don't do the traveling in cars thing on the Jewish sabbath.

We will be leaving this evening to drive up, arriving some time tomorrow.

See you all there!!!!

I'm not planning on doing anything on Friday except fret. [Smile] I don't want to go out. I want to get everything ready and visit with my sister and Ela and JaneX and...

You get the idea [Wink]

I suceeded in getting us a Tavern sign, based on ladyday's design.

I also have 30 individual strawberry creme pies chilling in my fridge. Maybe I should freeze them, just to make sure they make the trip to the hotel without getting too warm...

I haven't got the drinks or the salad fixins yet, but that stuff really needs to be as fresh as possible, so that's okay.

Olivet, have you ever tried freezing them before? In my experience, some custard-based pies react VERY badly to being frozen.



I so wish I could come! mack knows she MUST take lots of pics and upload them often. The rest of y'all, I need to see DETAILED reports on what you did. Multiple POVs are nice -- helps with the being-there-vicariously thing.

Have a GREAT time!

Okay... I wanted to post this before most people left. I really do wish that I was going, but finances prevented it. That's okay though. All I ask for in compensation is lots and lots of pictures. I am planning something, and, if my webhost will let me, it should be up by next week. If not, I am sure we'll find alternatives [Wink] .

You wenches have as much fun as possible!

I've also updated the Wenchcon site.

Um, guys, I have a problem.

The boys have Choi Kwang Do from 4:30-5:30 tomorrow. The can't miss it because they have belt testing. And Ron won't be able to take them.

Mack is renting a car, but she can only fit four besides herself.

Morbo will already have fugu, but he could probably swing by the airport and get one.

Now, that would work, but I didn't know Ben was going to be at the airport, too (riding with Mack).

I don't know how to get person #7 from the airport to the hotel. Traffic being what it is, it would probably be 6:30 before I could get to the airport from Acworth (much further north than the Hotel). I hate to leave anybody stranded that long.

Any ideas?

Anybody driving in who will be here early enough to make an airport run? [Frown]

Why am I here? Why aren't I home packing for my trip? Why didn't I get a LOTR t-shirt?

Oh yeah - the school thing.

Well, okay. Why aren't I packing? Is it because I worked out and am resting? Do I feel guilty about not being here tomorrow? Why don't I go home? I am sort of hungry, and I'm down to my last caffiene-free, diet dr. pepper, so there's no food in my house, which will be sad for when I get back and have nothing to eat.

Okay, everyone flying into Hartsfield International (That'd be the Atlanta airport). We're meeting at the atrium foodcourt.

If you have difficulty with anything, call my cell. Actually, call my cell when you get off the plane and into the terminal.

Olivia and others, I can possibly borrow a car (which would allow me to pick up 3-4 people at the airport) from my Dad or sister, but not for sure. And it's too late to call them now. I will call them in the morning.

I don't have a cell phone, so I will just meet you at the atrium food court. I'll be wearing a long black velvet dress (sinfully comfortable, and thus the perfect traveling clothes), a large beige coat, and carrying a green canvas backpack. And for those who don't know, my name is Karen. [Smile] Though I also answer to xnera (I pronounce it ex-near-ah) or just "x".

I also do not have a cell phone.

Since I'm the last one of the 3:30-4:30 people to get in, does that mean I'm the one stuck without a ride? Could at least one person who knows what's going on (and has a phone) be at the food court to meet me or something?

I should be wearing a teal skirt and black shirt/jacket. I'm a short girl, with longish lightish hair (probably braided).

Meet with Mack in the atrium. She will take some of you, and Ron has agreed to get 2-3 people.

Mack has his cell phone, and will call him. Your job will be to tell him whether you'lle be waiting outside the North or the South terminal. Make sure a person with a cell phone is one of the 2-3 people he'll pick up, and you can co-ordinate by phone.

We'll have ya covered.

Okay, Zev. Since you 3 guys are all together, why don't you plan on riding with Ron? His cell number is 404 433-8220. He'll drive by the waiting-for-a-ride area in whichever terminal you choose.

He said, "Tell them to look for a maroon Maxima, driven by a pudgy blond guy." [Big Grin] I sooo love my husband. But honestly, if you coordinate by phone, you should be able to meet up fairly easily.
