I'll be there.

Um, I'm a localista, though I plan to take a room(I don't know how much clothing I'll bring with me, and I'd rather not have to ask people for changing space, no matter how happy they may be to grant it.). Also, my fiance will be there, too.

Toddson is also a localista, although I don't know if she's planning on getting a room or not.

I'm going to be there.

Head spinny at the thought of meeting so many Buffistas I haven't met before, and getting to see again those I have slept with!

wife: "I'm not sure what to expect from all these people. I'll just stay on the side quietly and watch"

Brendon lived through the experience twice. Not sure if he is coming this time or not. Although he still can't fathom why anyone would participate in a board like this he still liked the people he met, a lot.

While admiring the thread title I remembered that I have slept with Lee, DX, Plei, Alibelle, and Lori. Pity them because my sinuses were misery my last trip to LA and I snored the whole trip.

I'll be there, sans spouse, and sleeping at my parents' house. I may decide at the last minute that I want a Saturday night hotel room, but right now I'm looking for the cheapest trip possible.

Argh. After finally deciding yesterday that yes, I can definitely make it, I realized I have family coming through in late May and I don't have definite dates from them yet.

Everyone vibe me getting-concrete-info-from-Uncle-Bob-ma.

amych! Are you driving? We could fence!

And I'm insane.

(The whole "driving" question was b/c you could bring your gear more easily if you drove. And I'm still insane, because you would kick my ASS.)

Dude, assuming I can make it at all, I plan to both drive and bring the boy. And he has a weapons chest in his trunk at all times. The appearance of fencing gear at the F2F would not be an issue.

I arrive in DC at 8:39PM on the 19th, and I leave at 6PM on the 25th.

Woo! Is your airport transport sorted? If not, drop me a line.

Is any airport more fine than the others?

I’d recommend National (Reagan, ptoo!) or BWI. National is close and easy for pickups, also Metro accessible, and BWI has a train to Union Station, which is two block from the hotel.

I am hereby volunteering to deal with the spreadsheet to figure out who is going where when. To wit, I need from everyone coming (including localistas). Please provide the info even if you are totally taken care of, then I don't have to worry about you :)

Here's the info I think would be helpful

Board Name
Real Name
Home phone number
Cell phone number or contact number at F2F
email address
Location during F2F (hotel, staying with localista, staying with other friend, etc.)
Method of transport (train, car, plane)
Place of arrival (National, Union Station, etc)
Time of arrival
Arrival details (i.e. flight number, train number)
How do you plan to get where you are going? (Metro, taxi, need pickup, etc.)
Who is getting you there (if known, if not, we'll take care of it, that's why we are doing the spreadsheet)
Departure details
How are you getting back
Who is getting you there

Somebody did one of these for the last F2F in LA. Did I forget anything?
