Well, the preliminary schedule of events at the Con are up, so we need to do a couple of things here (it's only 9 weeks or so away).

First who is going? (If you are not going, start your own thread and go cry in your Old Tillman there... :? 8-) :P). I met only one member early at the last Honorcon (lyonheart, and that was because I was rooming with him) and others only late on Saturday, mostly because a couple of them were using the house computers to post here. And that simply won't do.

So to start the list:

1. Hutch


Second, we need a 'meet-up' place. The hotel has a restaurant, but like any downtown hotel I suspect it is expensive and at least some of us will be on budgets. The only nearby restaurant in walking distance is the Bahama Breeze, which looks to have a fairly extensive menu and hopefully not extortion-like prices (if anyone knows about the restaurant(s), information would be appreciated.)

Anyway, how about Friday, 1130, at the Bahama Breeze? Friday panels don't kick off until 3PM per the current posted schedule, which should allow plenty of time for socializing/renew acquaitances/arguing over uses for Sollie SD's.... :twisted:

I hope to meet more of you this year and re-meet others earlier--even if I have to do the Logistics myself.

Hey cool, a Bahama Breeze. When I was job hunting during college one of the recruiters took us candidates to one. They're in the TGIF/Applebees/Olive Garden/Red Lobster bracket, but focusing on Caribbean cuisine. It was actually really good.

Like last year, I won't know if I'll be able to go until the last minute. Schedule looks pretty tight.

KZT. I should get in Thursday evening, though that was also to plan last year, and instead I spent it in Houston, thanks to SWA. This year I'm coming back from Italy, so there is lots of opportunity for "issues".

Assuming Delta doesn't leave me stuck in Florence or Atlanta, I don't really care as long as they serve coke products and some sort of food suitable for carnivorous types.

OK, registration complete, flight booked (arriving Thursday evening), hotel booked, rental car reserved (hotel is 17 miles from airport per Google map sand I like having options).

List so far is:

1. Hutch
2. kzt
3. Duckk (Maybe??)

OK, anyone else?

I'd love to meet all you guys in person, but my schedule is conspiring against me again. Hopefully year 3 will be the charm...

I finally stopped dithering and registered.

I'll be driving down Friday morning but, assuming I95 traffic is no worse than normal, I should be down there in time for your meetup.
