I'm sorry to hear that you guys can't make it.
My sister may be bringing her daughter, and another buddy of mine from NC is coming, so I may need to reserve another room?
Also, my grandmother died this morning. We knew it was coming, and all, but things to do with the party have not been foremost in my mind.
But things will be back to normal soon, and everything should be finalized. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys. I know it will be fun.

Might be a good idea. xnera is coming too, and fugu is not. So hobbes is going to stay with the boys, and xnera with me and ophelia and your sister...but if she's bringing her daughter and another NC friend is coming, we might need another room.

T, I think it's protruding... also rowdiness. Not being a spelling Nazi but you sort of asked, kind of, didn't you?

It's nice to see T can be open-minded about rowdiness with men's protrusions despite his religion's homophobia, though I think getting rowdy with an entire room of men is overdoing it.

Me as well, hence the thread calling for those guys to respond. If they don't respond, I will have to dirty my hands.

It's looking like my San Francisco start up may be delayed until exactly then. It's so maddening! Why can't it be delayed just a little bit longer, since it's already months later than we originally thought? So at this point I'm not at all sure if I can come. One more delay and I'll be in the clear. Will it come? Sadly, I may not know until the very last moment. Posts: 2843 | Registered: A Long Time Ago!

That link leads me to a lot of "operation not permitted" and "file not within the allowed paths" gobbledegook.

Funny. It works for me. The HOTEL button has more info on the hotel, butthe numbers I listed above should work fine.

But the links to the cheap Halloween Arwen pendants are all sold out. Anybody have one I could borrow? (not the pricey one, just the fake one).
Jenny is in charge of the schedule. There will be games and all sorts of stuff, I promise.
Also, anyone willing to volunteer to bring Nathan some orange tights? Seems he's too chicken to get them himself. Posts: 9293 | Registered: Aug 2000

I still have one more person to talk to about it, but it looks like fencing may not work out. My source for gear forgot, but I forgot to remind them, so blame falls on both sides there. My backup source shot me down right away. They've been growing alot, and have a lot of classes running right now, so they have no gear to spare.
I do have one more, somewhat obscure source, that I have to contact this week. If that doesn't work, I could try calling a club down in Atlanta, and see about borrowing/renting/stealing gear for a day.
Just wanted to warn everyone not to be terribly disappointed. I know I'm disappointed I don't get to stab all these cool people I somewhat know.
I'll post again as soon as I know for sure whether my backup backup source will work. aww man I really wanted to fight with real stuff, and not get my knuckles bruised this year.
Hoping to stab you all, ~Psychotriad

That looks good, except the $10.00 also covers the cost of the meeting room for two days, and the TV/dvd use.
The registration fee is $10.00, but if you don't want the lunch, make it $7.00
I wanted to make it a "suggested donation" but I can't afford to get stuck with $100.00 in fees nearly that much in catering and, er, party favors.
Mack, my niece and her fiance will be coming, but getting their own room, possibly sharing with my other niece. My NC friend will probably be staying at my house, or else cotting in my room or your room (if she does, we'll split the cost 5 ways).

Jamie, I put your room reservation in your name, since you and Ophelia will arrive before my sister.
Um, also, it has come to my attention that at least one reservation was made without telling them you were with the "Computer Companions" group. This means that you didn't get the good rate.
I switched Zevlag's reservation for him but there was one other reservation for that weekend that wasn't in the group that was made over the internet. If that WAS somebody in the group, I can have it changed for you to the lower rate, just let me know.
Reservations should be made by Friday, or the unreserved part of the block will be cancelled.
The guy's room (for Hobbes, Apostle Radio?, T-Smith and possibly Calvin Maker?) has not been reserved, or if it was, you didn't get the discount.
Also, please send me your itineraries so Morbo and I can arrange airport runs.

I know. *sigh* The lady didn't ask me the name of the group, so she made that up. I'm terribly sorry.

I think the room reserved without the discount was made in a female name. The difference is at least six or seven dollars a night, more if there are more than one person in the room. I think the rooms usually go for about $89.00 a night, though the innitial discount she quoted me had it at between $69.00 and $76.00 a night depending on the number of occupants.
The final rate we got was $69.00 a night (no change for more than one person). That is before taxes, but it's still pretty good.

Well, it's definite as of today. My start up in San Francisco has me traveling out there on the 13th and I won't be back before January 30th. It always happens that start-ups fall at the worst possible time. I should have realized that this one would not have bypassed both Thanksgiving and Christmas unless there were something even more important it was going to mess up. I hate it that I'm going to miss you guys. This bums me out so much!

I don't know, kat! You can come visit me anytime, though. I'm going to have Saudade and Andrei up to visit some time not long after I get back, and before I go overseas. That will probably be February. Any chance of getting you back over this way around then?
I'm really disappointed about missing you, and everyone else, this time around. I was so looking forward to it! Jobs always spoil everything! I wish I could figure out a way to make money without them!
