Nah, Ela, it's just that we already talked about it. If she doesn't get a room, then you're on my list, ok? And like I previously mentioned, I'll probably sleep in various rooms.

It's starting to look like you and Livvy could both stay in our room the whole weekend, Jenny. If you wanted to, that is. As Jane said, we are not getting an answer out of her friend.

I'm going to be able to stay at the hotel after all.
Anybody can still get a room at the the reduced rate, as long as they havethe rooms free (which, frankly, they should), so it's still not too late for last minute people.
We have the room starting around six pm on Friday, when the meeting that has hired it out for the day ends. I hope some folks will be available to help set up for the movie night.
Things are looking good! I'm getting all excited.

So, what's the final head count on women needing rooms/roommates? I feel that I was the last to join the group, and if there are too many people for the number of spaces in rooms, I'm glad to call and register another room for the surplus people (even if it's just for me). I'm fine with staying with people to reduce costs, but I don't want to cross that fine line into crowding people. Posts: 186 | Registered: Dec 2000

Thanks for responding, KQ. I didn't know if Olivia maybe needed that spot. I'm really looking forward to it! Posts: 186 | Registered: Dec 2000

I'm sure there'll be a place for you. In fact, if you don't mind sharing a bed (or babies), we only have 3 adults in ours so far.

Well, we'll know how to keep a secret from you if we don't want you to know what we're talking about... Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Yeah. The lady was willing to hold the meeting room for me if I wanted to pay for Friday, too, but she had a group that was booking 15 sleeping rooms on Thursday and wanted the meeting room on Friday.
I figured it'd be okay. So yeah, don't rush.
Talked to my sister tonight, while she was helping her friend Zach pick out costumes to bring (to share and to sell, I think, if anyone's interested) and various other stuff for his dealer table. He asked her if anything less than opaque would be okay to bring. I said as long as it wouldn't break any indecency laws, he could bring it. So, if anybody wants to skip 'wenchy' and go straight for 'scifi/fantasy stripper' you'll have options.
Yeah, Lucky-- my real name is Olivia, and my nicks here are Olivet and Olivetta (the Hobbit Wench). But my dear Wenches have also been known to call me "Livvy". Sorry for the confusion!

Yeah, I don't anticipate anyone wearing anything too out there. I think the guy just wants to bring some of the costumes he's most proud of, and the sheer fabric is a bear to work with. But I haven't really seem many of his designs.
He did make a reasonable facsimilie of the Princess Leia slaver girl outfit for my sister (though it was fabric with metal overlay, not anything entirely rigid). My sister is either brave or ... partly insane. Posts: 1664 | Registered: Apr 2004

Wow, did it have a chain and everything? My husband may want to talk to him. (Not that I'll let him.)

I honestly don't recall. The material was much heavier than the gauzy stuff on the bottom half, she may have worn a collar, but not a chain. My sister is way too dominant to ever wear a leash, even if it goes with the costume. Posts: 1664 | Registered: Apr 2004

I wish I could go! But I can't. Two reasons:
- I'm too young.
- I don't know where it is, when it is, how to get there, and anyone who would be able to stand living in a hotel room with me if I went, other than my family but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want to go.
So I'll just have to wait awhile. Posts: 6026 | Registered: Dec 2004

I am so pumped!!! We fit Katie's dress tonight, and it is going to be great. Ketchup Princess helped. That's the dress in the corner; you'll see it finished when she wears it. (Thank you for noticing the baby had the scissors, Katie!)

Technically it's Kennesaw, GA. At the Wingate Inn.
Could attendees please email me with their real names, screen names and email addresses? Also, flight info if you haven't already (Pssst, Katie).
I'd like to set up a mailing list so I can send a scedule of events (as soon as Jenny G and I work it out), plus, I need to arrange transportation for everyone to/from the airport.
Also... I can get a karaoke macine, but I don't have any discs. Do you guys want to try to bring some or would it be just as fun to set up a You Don't Know Jack Tournament?
A Newly Wench Game? (like the Newly wed game, but played with an online partner)?
If that sounds good, would anyone be willing to write the questions? Preferrably someone LDS, so we don't stray from the straight and narrow.
Also, I will use the email list to send suggestions/reminders of what to bring (swimsuit, permanent markers for T-shirt signing (WenchCon t-shirt not required) karaoke cds- we have one, but it's opera).

Oooh, can you post the link to get WenchCon t-shirts again? In case any of us (read: me) want one.

Hmmm. I'm considering a t-shirt for me and a teddy bear for Emma, but I'll have to clear it with my huband. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Ela beat me to it. I have set the prices very close to the base price, to make it more affordable (like $0.50 to $1.00), but any money earned (if the shop ever earns enough to actually issue me a check) will go toward the next one's expenses or as a slush fund to help attendees out if unexpected things happen (like macccabeus' car not starting last year, or someone needing cab fare to the airport).
This year I'm getting a shirt. Last year I got one, but had everyone sign it for CT who had her leave time cancelled at the last possible moment.

I think he's going to let me, I just have to make sure it's not going to make the rent check bounce or anything.
I think the teddy bear is cute for a baby, right? Of course, I will also have to find a miniature mug or cup or a shot glass while I'm out there; we have a collection, one for each trip we've taken her on.

Eh, why can't we do it all? Except, um, that screw your neighbor game, which may be fun, but I've never heard of it.
I'm going to see if I can't get a karaoke machine with some songs with it. Surely the party rental places should have a package deal...
Apples to Apples sounds fun, but I don't have it. Whose cards were they last year? Can somebody bring Apples to Apples again?
My BIL may come for a You don't know Jack tournament, so I'd like to keep that one if I can. It's a really amusing trivia game. I love trivia, because I'm good at it, and You Don't Know Jack is the only trivia game that is a challenge. I think it's because of the whole "buzzing in" thing. I'm not terribly fast.

He's not really my friend, and yes Seriously, I've met him and he's very funny, though I don't know what sort of roomie he'll be.
He made the reservations, and will be doing a dealer table in the meeting room.
I really, really need people's arrival times before Saturday.
mackillian, *noogies* if you are coming, are you renting a car? Would you be willing to drag some folks up from the airport or busstop if it was around the time you get in?
