As long as you don't throw it all up on the Metro...

DX made me snort!

Oh, lisah! I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother, and sorry too, that you won't be able to come to the F2F! You'll be missed.

thanks Beverly. I was trying to tie things up here at work before going up to wilmington, where my family is, and I remembered that i had promised to bring a mike stand for Jon's theremin performance. i hope that doesn't screw him up too badly. and i'm sorry i'm going to miss the performance. and all the other fun.

meeeeeearaaaaa!

If no one objects (and let me know and I’ll take your number off), I will post a list of cell phone numbers in the Hospitality Suite. I have a corkboard I can bring for messages and such.

I have been trying to send Vortex a naughty e-card all day and if this damned machine doesn't stop crashing, someone will bleed.

You know, it’s okay if it’s late

Vortex, my one true love, you'll have access to everyone's cells, yes? May I check it out, at need?

Ayup. See above, as well

I am back in town, and feeling oddly disappointed to have not seen a SINGLE CICADA.

Saw my first one last night at my boss’ house. And then, I forgot something in the car and ran out to get it in my jammies, so of course barefoot, and had to dodge cicada carcasses.

Is there wireless access for free in all the hotel rooms?

Yes. There is also a network jack if you don’t have a wireless card. I believe that you can also borrow a network card from the hotel, no charge, but you have to leave a credit card number in case you forget to return it.

Does either the darts/pool bar or karaoke bar serve food beyond bar snacks?

Yes, both do.

If no one objects (and let me know and I’ll take your number off), I will post a list of cell phone numbers in the Hospitality Suite.

It might be easier if we had the cell numbers ahead of time, for coordinating airport pickup, etc., and for people who are there early.

Is that a problem? Am I asking for a horrible breach of privacy?

Yes, both do.

Eeeeeeexcellent.

I assumed that by giving out my cell phone number, I was giving it out to everyone, so I don't see a problem with emailing it around or posting it in the suite.

I agree, Steph, unless anybody has a serious problem with it, privacy-wise. It would be nice to know when people are getting in, too.

Is that a problem? Am I asking for a horrible breach of privacy?

We emailed the list out to all participants ahead of time at both previous F2Fs. It makes picking people up at the airport easier.

Is that a problem? Am I asking for a horrible breach of privacy?

well, I don't think so, but then I HAVE THE POWAHHHHHHHHHH!

Seriously, if you have any objection to your information being sent to to the group, email me TODAY. I will email the spreadsheet to the entire list tomorrow morning. I'll still post the phone list in the hospitality suite regardless (minus the opt outs, of course)

And, please dont feel awkward about asking that your information not be included. There are several people without cells or whatever, and just have 'none" listed next to their name, so it won't look awkward for you at all. Also, if you have some sort of financial issue (i.e. it costs you money to recieve calls), you can let me know that too, and I'll put an asterisk next to your number, which means only call if you need to talk to the person, and not for idle chat, which we are so good at.

Vortex, you are so organized!

What do you think about posting that announcement in Press? This thread moves so quickly now that we're down to the wire, it might take people a while to catch up.
