I would like to attend. I will be driving, not flying.
I liked teh Winngate, but if we can find a cheaper or better situated place, that's also very cool. Airport shuttle would be a plus, but we'll either go up in price or down in neighborhood, I fear.
If I had a bigger house, this wouldn't be sucha problem. *sigh*
The only weekend I CAN'T do is the second one in March, so far as I know right now.

All right, I'll do it again. Since Olivia did, and she's cool.
I will attend. I will be flying. I can do any time. May 21st is my birthday, and is a Friday, so I'd be travelling on my b-day if we do it then, but that's just fine with me-- as long as we get to have a cake.
I will be bringing my infant daughter; she will be 11 mos. in March, 13 in May. If we don't use a shuttle, whatever vehicle we get picked up in will need to be able to accomodate a fairly large carseat (it requires pushing the front seat all the way forward in our car and in my mother-in-law's, and they're not small cars). I don't really care where or when we do it, although I would like the cheapest place possible that's decent, and I would prefer somewhere with laundry facilities on site, since you never know what's going to happen with a baby. I do think it would be nice if no one had to miss stuff to drive to and from the airport (but it won't be me, so hash it out amongst yourselves).
I do wish to share a room, but whoever wants to be my roommate (or roommates) will have to be okay with not being noisy at night or being in/out all night. I don't mind if you come in late, or want to be out at night, just please keep the noise, light, and opening/closing of doors to a minimum, 'cause if my little monster doesn't sleep, she gets evil. Since I do intend to be still nursing her at that point, I'd prefer an endowed woman (or women), although any woman or women is preferable to guys. Non-smoker, please. If any of all y'all would like to bring a child but aren't sure if that'll be compatible with your fun, I hereby invite you to share a room with me, and I'll be happy to watch your kid(s) as long as it's fine with them while you stay out late or whatever, as long as you're willing to respect my needs.

I would really like to come. So yes, but parents and/or scheduling conflicts could stand in my way.
I will be arriving by car, and it would be nice to have other people in the car.
March:insanely busy month
May: all weekends are good except 6th-8th.
As long as I have a semi-comfortable place to sleep I will be happy. I would prefer to share a room, and I am not picky about roomates.

I could probably work out coming in early March (one of those first two weekends, for example). I am open to considering other times, as long as it's not during Passover.
I liked the Wingate, for reasons previously mentioned.
I will be driving from Florida, like last time.
I need to be someplace where I can park myself from Friday before the sun goes down till after dark Saturday night. Last time we worked that out by having activities at the hotel all day Saturday, and bringing food into the Wingate and having a communal lunch buffet that was mostly dairy/vegetarian.
I will want to share a room.
I want to be there when Olivet, Ben and Ophelia, and some of the characters from last time were there.
That is all. (Sorry, Ben. )

I will come if at all possible, but that possibility is slight enough that I won't know until a lot closer to the event. But I really want to be there.
I'm not picky on hotel. I will want to share a room. I promise either to not get sick and cough all night this time or to bring along cough syrup with codine that will knock me out so I don't keep you up. Sorry again, mack.
As far as time, the first weekend in March would be lovely, or anytime in May. I'd rather Olivia be able to be there than anyone else, though, since this is kinda her baby.

With the kids and Joe's schedules being the priority around this house, I have no idea if I'll be able to make it until probably a few weeks before the actual event.
Plan away. If I can come I'll most likely bring Aubree. I'll drive and share a room if needed. I have no hotel preference since I've never stayed in Atlanta. I'd prefer something in a relatively safe area since I'll be driving.
Easter weekend is out, obviously. Otherwise, as of right now I am free for all weekends in March and May. Oh, except I'd like to finally make it to Andrea's May Revel this year, so I guess I'm not available for whatever weekend that is.
I will likely be flying, though I might take a bus or train if it is significantly cheaper. I would also consider carpooling if there was a group from my area driving down. I'm expecting I'll probably end up flying, though.
It was nice to have my own room at KamaCon, but I doubt I could afford it this time. So I will likely be up for sharing a room. I'd rather share with just one other person than three, because I still like having enough personal space to myself. No smoking, please.
If the hotel we choose is accessible via public transportation, then I would have no problem making my own way to the hotel from the airport. I like the MARTA. Posts: 1805 | Registered: Jun 1999

If in March, I can only do the first weekend. I have plans that can't be changed the second weekend, I'm in a wedding the third weekend (in north Georgia, as it happens, but I will be at the bride's beck and call), and Easter the fourth weekend.

If you did it at the end of May, I might be able to attend. I have no other information at this time.

The weekend of the 12th is the best for me in March. I might be able to make it the weekend of the 19th, but I would have to leave kind of early on Sunday, so the 12th would be better. As for May, any time after the 7th would probably be good.
My mode of transportation would depend on the date.
I vote for the Wingate, too. It worked out very well last time.
I want to share a hotel room; if people from my family come, I'll share it with them.
Like Ela (and Shlomo and narr), I need vegetarian/dairy food and somewhere to stay from Friday night to Saturday night.
We may fly, or may carpool if other Midwesterners go (esp. Wisconson/Chicago people)
March - Not Easter weekend. May - Not Mother's Day weekend, as that's also when we'll celebrate my birthday and my nephew's birthday, most likely. In fact, May's just harder, because of birthdays - the parties aren't planned yet.
No special accomodations except non-smoking, which is always available anyway. We prefer not-to-expensive. We may be interested in sharing a room with someone else, depending on cost (the more expensive, the more likely we'll want to share ).

I don't have time to answer this thoroughly right now, but depending on when it is, there's a good chance I'll show up. Posts: 4077 | Registered: Jun 2003

Has an Atlanta Wenchcon been settled on? If so, I'm in. The Wingate is fine. Other hotels are fine. I'm flexible. I'm flexible on dates, don't really care. I have a truck, can provide transpo to airport and elsewhere. I can also help in planning and local support. e-mail pel@myway.com

Funny thing is...I may be moving to Atlanta sometime between March and April. So, uh, May would be great
As for hotel rooms - I think I only slept one night the whole time, and that was the final night. And only for a few hours. And that was only because I had to drive back to Savannah.

I would love to come and meet everyone irl!! But, as usual, funding is my problem . Who knows though-- after the plans are finalized I can work someting out.

I might be able to know if I could come if I knew when. Until then I can't answer any questions.

Of course, I would have to ask JaneX, to be certain, but she will be in Florida at that time, and will not have to return to Mass. till the following week. So seems to me like she could do it.

I also have access to a good deal of fencing equipment to bring. I have my own gear (jacket, plastron, knickers, mask, glove and 3 electric weapons and 1 dry).
In addition I can bring three gloves, two masks, three jackets, one plastron, and I think four dry foils.
So we can surely do fencing again. Posts: 14745 | Registered: Dec 1999

That drops my chances to zero, too. But if the people who are sure they're going can all make it, it makes sense.

I almost certainly can't do either of those. I can TRY, but very little chance of success. We're going on a trip to CA for Christmas, and I just don't know if we'll be able to afford it, unless my husband is able to take home some work to do during that time, and there are ten hundred other things that money could go toward right now.

As checked baggage, yes. You also have to TELL them you're transporting fencing equipment, and generally they inspect them as well.

If we're going to make it Jan. or Feb., I need to know really soon because I won't be able to afford plane fare otherwise.

OW! I just my banged my knee on my desk. Oh well, looks like fencing is out for 6 months or more.

Ok, a ticket (via AirTran Airways -- can anyone tell me anything about them?) would run me not a horrible amount of $$$. And I'd love to meet those of you I have not yet met, and see those I have.
But I'm not a big LoTR fan. Is that likely to be a problem for me?
Oh, and I'd be flying in and out, but I'm ok with cabs if there isn't a hotel shuttle.
Almost forgot: I would prefer to share a room (but not a bed).
