Seriously, guys, book your rooms and let us know you're coming. Or don't book your rooms and let us know you're not coming. Because right now very few of you are saying one way or the other, and we really do need to know definites.

OK, what's the final details of it? And since I live in Atlanta, can I come without booking a room and so on?

ok, i know i just posted a thread for this, but i figured i would mention it here. if anyone of u are interested in Legos for yourself or your children, I have LOADS that im trying to get rid of. If anyone is interested please let me know. im going to get pictures of everything up on the internet within the next few days. So if anyone of you are going to WenchCon and are driving, it might be a good place to get a belated x-mas gift for someone.

So I was thinking that we would definitely be staying at home, and not at the hotel, due to finances. But since it seems like I'll be getting paid for last week (supervisor just came in to warn me that my check won't be direct deposited tonight due to the fact that the paychecks haven't been shipped to us yet, which implies that it will be direct deposited at some point in the future). So maybe we'll be able to stay in the hotel after all.

We should decide on a time everyone should meet at the hotel. Then, depending on what time we all choose, we should either go do something, then go out to eat together, or vice versa.

In the past, we've worked around Ela and JaneX's schedules, as they cannot drive anywhere (among other things) between sundown Friday night and Saturday night. But Jane wants to go dancing Friday night, so I'm actually confused on that point now . . .
But anyway, there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance from the hotel.
And with so few people coming from out of town this year, it would make a more specific meeting time easier.
JaneX, are you flying into Atlanta, or are you driving with your mother? (In other words, do you need one of us to pick you up? Since Ben and I won't be driving in from another state, I promise we'd pick you up and get you to the hotel much quicker. I could probably even ask to cut out of work early if I have to.)
And has anyone heard from ladyday? A few pages ago she said she was coming . . . and her e-mail is not listed, or I would just e-mail her myself.

JaneX and I are coming together, probably by car, since the hotel arrangements were finalized too late for us to get a cheap flight.
And I just want to reiterate that we don't want to stay at the hotel if we are the only ones staying there. We have made reservations, but it is pretty expensive for us if we don't have a roommate or two, and I'm just not sure I would want to spend that much money for 3 nights (maybe one, probably Friday night, since that covers the Sabbath, but not three).
I'd rather crash on someone's floor. (If it turns out that it's mostly locals not staying at the hotel.)

I'll have to clear it with the spouse (I think it will be okay, because he's met you guys) but a floor crash would be possible at my place, barring accidents.
I don't know if having no sleeping rooms for most of the weekend will hurt our meeting room rate or not. I'll try to find out.
Is everybody still cool with pitching in for the meeting room if it's $10 a person instead of five?
I'll just wait until I get hold of someone and find out. Posts: 9293 | Registered: Aug 2000

Livvy, we might like to crash there one or more nights, if it's okay with the hubby. I'm still waiting to see who else is staying at the hotel, and whether we can get roommates.
Also for Livvy, do you want more hand-me-down clothes for the boys? Let me know their sizes and I'll see what we have.

Oh dear . . . well, get me a headcount and a list of allergies and I'll make the best fudge y'all have ever had.

Oh, and by the way: if anyone makes comments or puns regarding the fudge and the fact that I'm gay, I will be sure to shove a spatula into your chest cavity and through your heart as soon as I get the chance.

No allergies on my part! (Unless you were planning on putting penicillin in the fudge . . . which would be odd.)
As for head count . . . we're still trying to get that ourselves. It looks to be hovering around ten, which is rather low.

Yes, Ela, I have seen this thread, thanks for asking. I haven't been involved yet because I'm not sure if I can get off work to come. I already know I have to work on Fri., but I'll try to get the weekend off. Posts: 6316 | Registered: Jun 2003

This is what I get for being on Hatrack Lite
Hotel has changed management, and they are offering us the meeting room at $75.00 a day instead of $25.00 a day. Which, in layman's terms, blows.
Ben is looking around for hotels near your place for the few people who are coming from out of town, so they can be in walking distance of fun stuff and your place, too. Though he also suggested maybe sharing room expenses one night at the Winngate, just for the hot tub action. *shrug* We could hang out and play games in the lobby on Saturday, I guess, or split the cost of the meeting room for that one day. (We are also trying to sweet-talk the hotel into a better rate, but with only one room booked in our block, there is not much leverage).
I'll let you guys know what happens. *stress*

Also... my computer is not working *again* and it has all my email addresses on it. Has anybody heard from Ladyday? Ive tried AIMing her, but haven't caught her yet. AIM Express is frustrating. >_<

for those of u in kennesaw, can u think of any fun places for us to go besides a movie theater? also, we all might want to bring some food, and we can have a lunch/dinner together at the hotel buffet style. that would save us from having to go out for every meal, tho i would like to once with everyone.
Board games and group games are fun, but im trying to avoid those right now because i think its not worth the time traveling for some ppl to come all the way here just for group games.
whats the area code for the hotel ppl are staying at? maybe i can use that to find some more activites for us to do.
