So how many people are in for this thing? Anyone know?
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

Our wings are not tired.
Have I mentioned lately that javachik is one of the coolest, most awesome people in the entire world? Because she really is.
Awwww, you just made my already great day "grande"! Muy grande!
Victory, (yes, that's how I saw your name and so it goes), dunno know the numbers. Sail can prolly tell us when she logs back in. This will be your first time meeting any of us loonies face-to-face, right? You're a gamer alright.

Heh. The first F2F I went to was in DC in 2004. I'd only been on the board about two months, and I was half terrified and half thrilled at the thought of traveling 400 miles by myself to meet everyone. There were probably 50 or 60 people at that gathering, and I knew the second I got there that it was going to be the best party I'd ever been to.
Better watch out, Victor, this board has a way of changing your life.

Victor, there's no way of knowing real numbers until everyone gets here. I'm guessing, based on the fact all the rooms in the room block have been filled (15) and the fact many are having to find overflow locations, we're going to be pulling in 30-35 folks minimum. This has really turned out to be a larger F2F than I expected with gas prices and just the economy in general.
F2F fund update:
We've got a little over $1100 in the fund right now. That covers the 4 hour room rental for Prom. (Yay, Prom!) Right now, the room is scheduled for 8:30pm to 12:30pm. If we want to stay in the room longer, the rate is charged every half hour after ($137.50 per half hour).
We still need to cover the hospitality suite, somewhere between $275 and $300 (I'm not sure how taxes are going to beef up the actual cost, the room is $129 per night.) Also, if we want to stock the room with munchies and a limited selection of booze and soda, etc., we could use more of the extremely generous donations I've been receiving.

I AM SO BUMMED NOT TO BE GOING THIS YEAR.
That is all.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What Jessica and Frank said.
(But, Jess, are you already in Canada that weekend, or in NY?)

I'm in NY that weekend, at the Clearwater Folk Festival.
It's ALSO the same weekend as TAM6, which I am almost as bummed about missing as the F2F.

We will be in NY!! And realized right after planning the trip that other peoples would be in Madison -- not to mention that this thread would be completely full of the f2f talk.
