I wanna meet Hatrackers! If it's in Atlanta, I can probably find a cheap fare there from DFW if anyone is willing to pick me up once I get there. Oh, and if we decide on the date pretty soon. And if no one minds babies. (I will so make her a costume, too.)

One good thing about being a stay-home mom of an infant: we can take off any time. (As long as I get enough notice to find cheap airfare, that is.) [Big Grin]

21 September. You don't need to come to Poland, though I'd be extremely happy if you did.

Make sure to invite some hot men and have them undress for you. And send me the pics.

Yeah, it was. I found it quite comfortable.

I would love to come to the next WenchCon, or whatever big con we have. If it's in January, though, it would be very iffy I could make it due to finances. I really need more advance notice in order to save up for a vacation.

We could do it again on president's day weekend, maybe. That is in February. March and April are , like, full of weddings and stuff, and after that the hotel rates go up.

I could throw somthing together, but I can't cater lunch. If we have people with Sabbath issues, I'll make sure you get food that won't compromise the requirments of your faith. But making food for 20+ people is NOT happening. Sorry. [Smile]

YOu know, there ARE two couples who are now engaged who met at last year's WenchCon. I guess it is a good place to meet chicks. Er, wenches. [Smile]

Curse school! ::shakes fist:: I'd be able to go if it was in the summer, but ah well. Here's to Kamacon II!

On another note, I might be flying up to Wisconsion over my spring break... Maybe we could have a quick dinner get-together again?

I didn't realize it was the same weekend. I haven't made any calls or anything, so it's no big.

Any ideas, anybody?

I'm sooo up for a Road Trip for any Midwesterners...

The last place was just fine. I still like MLK Jr. weekend, but whatever works out the best. It's very nice to have a 3-day weekend, especially for those of us who have to drive long distances. But I am so there!

ALL THREE FUN THINGS ON THE SAME WEEKEND??

That's not good. [Frown]

katie doll, Jenny-G said MLK weekend... that's the one in January, not in February. The Henna party only conflicts with the silly Boston thing.

Although WenchCon doesn't seem settled yet...

Another reccomendation: If you are going to be late, tell the person who is picking you up.

Oh, gotcha. Well, that's slightly better. Still bad, though.

I might be able to get off work for MLK weekend, but I don't think I can afford to pay for hotel rooms and stuff.

I miss you guys! I want to GO!

I've got a DLP projector and as many Miyazaki films and LOR films as are available on DVD. Unfortunately, my favorite chicken packing plant in South Georgia is demanding my presence before the end of 2004 and cannot put it off until MLK weekend.

Does anybody know if Oriental Trading Company sells a troll costume?

kwsni, I'm sure there are more people than me who are planning to find someone to share a hotel room with-- it'll help cut costs.

If I remember the events leading up to KamaCon correctly, someone circulated an email list of people interested in sharing hotel rooms along with personal preferences (non-smoker, smoker, etc.)

I suspect once the date for WenchConIII is confirmed and planning begins in earnest, another list will be circulated.

Failing that, you could go ahead and post a notice for hotel roommates on this thread.

Aw, skillery, you're killing me! I wish I could get a digital projector. I'm just thinking that maybe it's just too late for people to make travel arrangements...

Trevor, do you know of any decent but inexpensive hotels we could use? Otherwise I could just talk to the lady at the WinGate Inn in Kennesaw (off Barret Parkway).

We just need to decide on a date, and go from there, I guess.

Cheap hotels that I know of? What kind of person do you think I am? [Big Grin]

Seriously, I don't know of any personally, but I can make a list with location, prices and etc.

What specifics do you want in a hotel? I can narrow it down from there.

Come to think of it, there is a hotel on Peachtree Industrial, north of 285 - the room rates were quite reasonable, although I don't know about dining/ball room numbers.

If you'd like, I can pull up the location and rate information tomorrow.
