Kristin, thanks again for heading this up. I do think reducing the block is the right choice.
JZ and I won't be able to attend this year. (I'm sorry Heather!) It's very disappointing, but EM's been out of work since last June and paying all Emmett's expenses solo has been a big hit to the money. Also, as of January, I got nailed for my college loans which has been an even bigger financial hardship. And now I'm on the hook for all the summer expenses (with various deposits already due), large commuting expenses, fixing the car etc. Basically we just don't have any discretionary funds for such a trip. However, we do have enough to help contribute to the kitty. I know JZ has kicked in some, and I'll be making a bigger contribution once I get some clearance.
Okay, I vote for a moratorium on "I'm not coming" posts, on the grounds that they're upsetting. People who will be there, start posting!
I'll be there.
I'm a'gonna take a train.
Am now earwormed....
Yeah, me too. Sorry about that.
And what the hell, since we're all sharing. I may also be doing some preliminary move scounting, since the husband and I are talking about trying to move to N.O. in the fall.
Yeah, me too. Sorry about that.
Well, I used that exact phrase before you did...
I'm still blaming you, but you don't need to feel sorry about it.
I tried to book my room today but there's apparently one woman who takes reservations and she was never there when I called and didn't call me back. I hope no one else is running into this. Though I also wonder why me, in that case.
(eta: teh DVD player I volunteered for the hospitality suite quit working this weekend (no spinny spinny), so I guess we still need one)
And woo-hoo on Dana (maybe) moving to NO!
