I'll be coming in Friday late; however, my family is likely going to manage transportation. I just need to know where to be when. Posts: 4077 | Registered: Jun 2003

The Wingate Inn, just off Barrett Parkway (behind Costco and U.S. Play) as soon as you can. We're doing an all-nighter with the movies, probably Friday, though I hope to have some meet and greet stuff well before that.
Anybody got Apples to Apples? That was a blast...

*sigh* I was kinda hoping as we got closer that there might be better fares. The cheapest right now is $273, which is still not something I'm going to be able to do.

*shrug* I'll keep checking. But it would have to be pretty cheap. Or I'd have to have my 2004 review and find out I'm getting one heck of a raise.

How about taking a day or two off work and road-tripping? If you can get to Indiana, I think we can work something out....

By the way, will it be too out of line for me to throw candy at you people in the lobby while standing leaning over the railing upstairs screaming "death from above!"? just curious...

I have a conference in Las Vegas that week, and that ends at 2:00 or so on Thursday. If I wasn't going to Atlanta, I'd come home that night. Do I come to Atlanta then, or come Friday morning/afternoon? Is anyone going to be in Atlanta on Thursday?

I think JaneX's flight is getting in from New England (Hartford, CT) around 4-ish or so - she will check and let you know the exact information.
JaneX and I do need at least one roommate (2 if JaneX's friend decides not to come).
Also, I am curious to know when people will be leaving - I reserved our room through Sunday night, cause we hated having to run out last year. But last year we met on a 3-day weekend - so what is everyone planning?

I'll be around as long as there are people. After the hatrackers take off, I'm going to stay with my parents for a few days, so I'll hang out with anyone who is still around.
Also...er...is there actually anyone interested in sharing a room (or letting me sleep on the floor or something) on Friday night, if it is indeed to be an all-nighter? I don't bite. I promise. Posts: 4077 | Registered: Jun 2003

We're getting a mega tax refund. (We e-filed for direct deposit yesterday.) As long as we don't get audited and therefore held up, it looks like I will probably be able to go. (I feel a little bad spending $400 on airfare and all when we have absolutely no wiggle room in our budget, but I'm putting it down to mental health, and my wonderful husband is agreeing.) I'm looking for someone to share with who doesn't mind a almost-1-year-old sleeping in their room, and is willing to flex a little around her needs (like being quiet coming in and out at night and stuff), preferably female. Anyone interested?
Also, can someone point me to an estimated cost, excluding airfare? For instance, room, food, activities, etc. I just need a ballpark figure here, but it will help me decide whether to go or not.

See, I would, but I can't REMEMBER. But I thought I'd let you know so you wouldn't think you're being ignored.

Katie, you can sleep in my spare room that night. My sister will come in Friday evening and probably use it the rest of the weekend, but I could put you up in Casa de Fowler for that time, if you like.
The room costs are $69.00 per night, before room taxes. With taxes it comes to about $75.00 per night, with that being split by however many you can room with and I'm sure the baby is free.
Thee is a free continental breakfast every day and moderately priced restaurants close by (walking distance). There is also a U.S. Play across the parking lot, so if you really want to hit that... well, you can drop a lot of money inn one of those game places pretty quickly. I've never been there, myself.
Dividing a room by 4 people would make it less than $25.00 a night. The meeting room for two days is $50.00 divided by however many people come... Less than $5.00 a person, surely. I could cancel the meeting room for the second day and we could overwhelm the lobby on Sunday, depending on how many people are leaving early on Sunday.
So, rooms/roomies:
Vana and Dan and Ophelia and Ben - One room
Ela, JaneX and one or two open slots- One room *open space, I assume female preferred?*
Frisco... obviously selling his body to cover cost of "private" room - appointment suggested
So, we have kq and infant, me Jenny G and Lady Jane who have not sorted ourselves out yet. My sister an neice may come, but may not stay at hotel. If they do, they'll probably want their own room (my sister turns into Queen Bitch of the Universe when she's tired, and wants to spare innocent bystanders).
Jamie and Nathan- ? maybe coming, don't know if they want t o share a room.
TMedina- you staying at the hotel or not?
Am I forgetting anybody?

Oh, so Katie and Kq can probably work that oout fine, then.
I mean, you could both stay in the spare room if you don't mind doubling up. We just gave away our crib, but I'm sure we could come up with something...
I'm only allowed to offer the spare room to femmes or people I know well, since the Internet is like a box of every flavor beans, and the hubby is cautious about who we let around our babies, you understand. Posts: 1664 | Registered: Apr 2004

Olivia, that would be wonderful. Flying on Thursday will save me $50 that can go toward a hotel room or something. I can cut that cost even more if Emma doesn't have a seat on the plane; I'll have to work out how I feel about that. So it looks like I'll get to go. We have a playpen/portacrib that I'm planning on bringing with us, so don't worry about where Ems will sleep. Yay! I'm going to WenchCon! *begins to plan costume for after she finishes Katie's*
I'll buy the tickets when we get our refund (probably the 15th or earlier).

I didn't tell him you volunteered to randomly beat up Phil, BTW. Not that it would have been a good idea, as he has a wide range of concealed weapons(for whhich he has permits) on him at all times.

LOL. Phil was this unwanted houseguesst who was leaving his wife after months of fooling around with strippers and stuff. I can't stand the guy, but his wife thought maybe Ron could talk sense into him. He couldn't
But I griped to Ben about it on IM and he jokinggly offered to beat the guy up, pointing out that we could pretend we didn't know Ben, that he just randomly invaded our house and smacked the guy.
It was a joke.
Ask Katie. She'll tell you my house is safe, if somewhat a wreck. Posts: 1664 | Registered: Apr 2004
