I had vague thoughts about wanting to drive up/down and camp and visit people along the way. They are no longer vague! Woo hoo! I am spending some time in Portland with a friend, and then we are traveling together to Mendocino over a couple of days, and I'll fill in with other friends up/down, too. Fun! I'll probably make it a straight shot Seattle from Portland, if case anyone wants a ride up, tho' I'm going to Pt. Townsend and possibly Lummi and San Juan Islands afterwards, so a ride down (unless later in the week) would not work.
So I have a Q about the parking fee. The thought of paying $40/night to park my car makes me crazy. Is there an equivalent to, say, leaving my car at Cofax's house, and taking BART to the hotel, then staying there?
Heck yeah, Java. Public transport in Seattle is quite nice. I'm sure we can figure out something like that. When are you planning (roughly) to arrive/leave?
As soon as the hotel is booked, I'll give TCG all the info, and we can decide if we are going to be able to go or not. We're definitely leaning toward going at this point. I need to fix the fact that I have never been to a F2F.
Sadly, the Miracleborns will not be in attendance this year. With traveling for my brother's wedding in July and the uncertainty of surgery/radiation, we just don't have the funds. Which makes me incredibly, incredibly sad.
Yeah, I'll be in the corner with Kristin.
That's a real shame, Aimée.
Indeed. I was hoping this would be the time I got to meet you guys in meat space. Damn.
I understand why, and I agree it's a good choice, but that doesn't mean I gotta like it.

Maybe Joe can save up to come to Texas next year to see the Superman Musical!
Aww man. That sucks.
In happier news- it's possible I got my prom dress for $5 today. If I find a better dress for prom I still got an awesome dress for $5. Doesn't make up for a Miracleborn-free f2f, though.
Looking at flights. My best return option fare wise means choosing between 11:30 am or 11:30 pm departure. Feh. I'm leaning toward the red-eye rather than having to make a quick getaway the morning after prom. What's the Seattle airport like if you end up having to hang out for a while?
Will there be folks around for Sunday night dinner?
