Here's what she sent me. We have until February 11th to make reservations. I'll be cancelling the rest of the block on that day, to avoid being charged for whatever rooms have not been spoken for, though last year even the last-minute people got the lower rate. Guess it depends on how full they get otherwise.

We ask that if there are any changes to be made please do so with the hotel representative below and before the cancel / cut off date above. We cannot guarantee where the rooms within your block will be located; we will always try to place your rooms close together.
I'm going to be depending on Jenny Gardener for the schedule of events, Ben for co-ordinationg music and AV stuff, and TMedina (if he still wants to) for keeping track of arrivals/departures and transportation. I hope Ophelia and Morbo will be willing to help out with some of the other stuff.
We'll have the meeting room for two days for only $50.00, so that should be really cheap to split if even five or ten people show up. All-in-all, I'm pleased. Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

I have a wild hare to go, but probably shouldn't miss hubby's birthday.
Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
She used the contract from last year as a template. I can call her and have it switched, if you like.
Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
well, I'm not going, so you may call yourselves computer companions.
Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :
dude. i've got the A/V covered. try to see if you can get out of that $35 equipment rental.
Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
K.A.M.A. is the ultimate computer companion.
Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :
so we were talking yesterday and were curious so we could get a new headcount. Who's coming to this thing?
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
I'll be coming, but I won't need the hotel.
Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
I've told her we won't need the av cart. It was kinda sucky anyway- didn't even have a DVD player. Meh.
Head count is now up to ...
Four? Me, Ben, Ophelia and Megan.
Oh, probably Morbo and TMedina, too, right?
So far, wer're all locals.
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
Technically, I'm not a local, but I do have local accommodations. Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :
jamie, nathan, you guys planning on attending?
Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
Jenny G made like she was coming, but I think she was hoping for another carpool type of thing.
Frisco, I got your email! If any other unaccompanied fellas are coming, would you share a room with Frisco? (ladies, please be nice - this isn't THAT sort of get-together, despite the name )
Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :
nuts. the only reason i was going was for the lovin', if that's not in the works, i may need to re-think my plans.
Posted by Jenny Gardener (Member # 903) on :
Anybody have a room with bedspace? I'm el cheapo here, and I want roommates and bedmates. However, bedmate must be female so my hubby doesn't get jealous. I'm not sure yet whether I'll fly or drive. Probably drive, since it's not as expensive. If I can get someone to split drive time with me, that would be wonderful. The Road Trip to the last WenchCon was the best!
Posted by Jenny Gardener (Member # 903) on :
While the movies will take precedence in my events planning, is there anything else you don't want to miss?
I'm debating on how to squeeze 3 3-hour films into a short weekend. I know we want plenty of hang-out time, too, but it's going to be difficult. Any ideas, e-mail me or better yet post here for discussion.
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
I may be in with the whole driving thing, Jenny.
As for the rooms thing, I'm in favor of cheap rooms and don't mind sleeping on the floor .
Posted by Lady Jane (Member # 7249) on :
I'd like to come - I do not currently have a roommate. Jenny, do you want to share? Taalcon's on vacation right now, but I think he is planning on coming too. He could room with Frisco.

When is this happening?
Posted by Lady Jane (Member # 7249) on :
Woohoo!! There's a fare sale from DFW to Atlanta for the time around WenchCon for $188. What are the dates again? This is for real, right? Let me know so I can get it. Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
pssst Kat: the dates are in the reservation info above AJ
Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
The weekend of March 12th.
Jenny, maybe we could do an all-nighter with the movies?
Um, we should also plan some outing or other in costume, and maybe some CosPlay? I want an excuse to wear The Dress again...
Posted by JaneX (Member # 2026) on :
Ela and I are probably coming. My friend Tali (who posts here as Arya, though not very often) might also be coming with us. That means we'll have room for a fourth roommate, so if we end up coming, Jenny, you're welcome to share with us.

Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :
Dan and I are planning to come, though we've not yet reserved our room.
Would anyone be willing to split a room with us? Another couple, or even just one more person?
Posted by Ophelia (Member # 653) on :
Ben and I can share with you, Julie.
Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
I''m also in the running for room-sharing, though I can't hog the Jenny-love. Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
Actually, to rephrase JaneX's response about roommates, we need a roommate (or 2, if Arya doesn't come) due to money issues . Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :
That sounds great, Ophelia! Thanks!
Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
Also, I should probably mention that I'd prefer there be no alcohol in the meeting room. It didn't occur to me to say that last year, so I had no right to complain when a certain under age hooligan was wandering around the lobby begging for a corkscrew...
But I don't want a repeat of the experience (though I don't expect it will be an issue this year).
Yeah, I'm a big ol' wet blanket. And kind of a beeyotch. Posted by Lucky4 (Member # 1420) on :
Would it be ok if I came down for the day on Saturday (I live in Nashville)? Because of my school situation, that's about all I could make it for, but I'd really love to come. And I would, of course, pitch in monetarily as I realize that I would benefit from the meeting hall, food, etc.; it's more the time that's a problem right now than the money.
*I'm off to school now, so I'll look for the response when I get home tonight. Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
That would be cool, Lucky.
Basically, I'm going to make sure that those who can't leave the hotel on Saturday have food, but everyone else is on their own. We'll probably order pizza or something, plus there are a couple good restaurants within walking distance. The meeting room is $25.00 a day for a total of $50.00, so ... if we only have ten people (I think we'll have more)the meeting room would be $5.00 per. Probably, meeting room expenses will be just a couple of dollars. It shouldn't be a big deal at all.

I just realized I was coming back from atlanta this time last year.
Ni!
Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
I was thinking about that, too.
Geez, we had a lot of fun the last two years! I miss everyone so much!

Last year at this time I didn't even fathom being married to Nathan.
Now I can't imagine it any other way.
...except right now he's picking something out of his teeth. Not so endearing. Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
Interested parties please email me so I can get a ballpark figure. Thanks Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
Hmmmmmmmm...
Posted by Jenny Gardener (Member # 903) on :
Hmm... Looks like I'll have plenty of offers for room sharing. Maybe I'll sleep around...
Fugu, I'd LOVE to share rides with you. That would be cool. Let's phone each other and talk details.
Olivia - an all-nighter with the movies sounds AWESOME! Any one else have opinions?

For the record...I call Sam again. Just in case anyone had any doubt.

Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
I wish you could, too.
I call Arwen. Nyah.

$25 bucks is chump change for meeting space. We charge at least 75 for the Glendale room at my hotel. Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
Yeah, I know. It was the only hotel that would do that for us. The price for the same space to business group is $99 per day (which was what I paid for the one day of WenchCon one-- but we made use of it almost the whole time on Saturday, and they let us in Friday night for free).
Last year I got the room for two days and the media cart for one day, and it was still less than I paid for one day the first year. That's a big reason I went with the same hotel this time.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
And I love that hotel. For many reasons. Posted by Ben (Member # 6117) on :
because you got to see my butt sticking up in the air?
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
that's one!
Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :
Anybody have a karaoke machine? I thought that might be fun, after we're all good and sleep-deprived.
Oh, my friend who looks like Eowyn (not exactly, but they have the same shape of mouth and chin) is looking into buying the house across the street from us. I'm going to see if I can't get a costume together for her, and force her to come with me.
