Timeline question. Actually a couple. I was skyping with Shir, and she was wondering if she could virtually attend, say via webcam. When is Prom? How good/bad of an idea would it be to have a laptop in the corner to chat with Shir? And what time is that, to see if she would even be awake at that time, half way around the world?
Have we mapped out when group activities are happening? what/when/where? Or am I being too anal about this? There was talk of a lot of things, and we are only there a few days.
(sorry, new to this, and I confess, a bit of a calender freak at times)
Prom will be Saturday evening. Usually kicks off around 8ish.
There are sometimes a few planned trips, but rarely does everyone go on them. Typically a few different things happening at once. I'd say that Thursday or Friday people will work out what they want to do on Saturday morning/afternoon.
Given that, if a groups wants to do the Underground tour or something like that this thread is the place to organize it. When we had the F2F in SF we pre-organized a time for the Alcatraz trip, and last year in Madison we kinda worked out when a largish group wanted to go to House on the Rock.
We also usually have a whiteboard or easel of some sort in the hospitality suite so people can leave each other notes, let the group know when a trip is planned, list room numbers, and so on.
If the prom will start around 8pm on your Saturday, it'll make it 6am on Sunday here. So, for the sake of the little sleep I can have, if I'll join virtually via webcam around 9:30pm your time (7:30am my time), would that be OK?
Is the idea applicable, at all? Or will it make a too much of fuss on a busy-as-is event?
As we are about a week away, do we want to make a reservation for the underground tour? If the group is big enough, we can be the whole tour?
Profuse apologies if this has already been posted...but I just poked around the Underground Tour site and found that 1., group reservations need to be made 2 weeks in advance, and 2., there is something called the Underworld Tour put on by the same folks. I'm really interested in that particular one, being a raunchy chik and all. It's at 8 and 10 pm on Friday. It's for 21 and older, and it's more expensive than the regular tour.
Oh, that sounds fun.
Shir, 9:30 sounds about right - things get off to a late start sometimes.
Anybody else up for a
Once More With Feeling
singalong at some point over the weekend? Because, having helped run a singalongaSoundofMusic and a singalonga-Grease, I really really wished that there could have been Buffy fen who'd go for a singalongaOMWF. (And there could be goodie bags! And planned audience participation! There totally could be!)
(I'm perfectly well disposed to a
Doctor Horrible
singalong, but I've not actually seen it, and thus don't have a great big nostalgic love-on for it.)
Underworld sounds great to me. I was going to do one of the tours, so this one sounds like even more fun.
