I'm down for that. Excellent timing for me, actually.

10th is out for me, I have a final (what the fuck!?) that weekend. 15th-18th of december then?

Well um, I actually haven't booked my winter vacation yet, but I might actually want to leave for Canada on like December 17. I love you guys dearly and all, but my siblings and parents live in four different cities on two different continents, and we try to make our Christmas visits overlap, and we haven't made travel plans yet. So...those dates might be ok, but then again I also might not be in town.

The entire month of December is out for me. Too many presentations, too many panels to be on to even think about making time. If it's in November, I have.. to have my research papers turned in by then so if it's around then, totally fine. If not, I may see you guys at the Con so should I make it!

December 15th-18th for me might be a bit tough to request off on as well for work, given retail, so that may not be the best of options either. I don't think its IMPOSSIBLE, just I'd need to request off soon and since we don't have finalized details that may not be plausible.

It looks like I will in fact be able to host this! Is there still interest in northern VA?

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #30 on:** September 26, 2011, 10:08:55 PM »

Depends on if we have the exact time period narrowed down!

Xeroma · « **Reply #31 on:** September 26, 2011, 10:11:24 PM »

See OK. As long as I can get a ride somehow, I will definitely go.

Shale · « **Reply #32 on:** September 27, 2011, 02:52:50 AM »

My schedule's pretty much open aside from the weekend after Thanksgiving. If people want to do early-ish November to cut down on travel costs, that's cool.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #33 on:** September 27, 2011, 06:36:19 PM »

I don't see any problems with early-ish NOvember other than "we'd have to decide to do it soon so people can request off!" I already outlined the exact dates in November that are bad.

Early December should be fine too. Basically, anytime before the Christmas Season gets really out of hand and its still possible to request days off (outside of the date I specified before.) December 17th~ is...really close to when they'd start making black out dates so...

metroid composite · « **Reply #34 on:** September 27, 2011, 08:32:04 PM »

Anytime in November is fine, except I do request that it not be the same week as the westcoast minimeet, as I'm getting lots of pressure to attend that one.

Tide · « **Reply #35 on:** September 28, 2011, 03:13:05 PM »

Early November is definitely out for me. The best I can manage is probably a week within December (around 10th - 25th?). If it doesn't fall in there, I'm most likely out.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #36 on:** September 28, 2011, 09:05:18 PM »

So, is Atlanta hosting, or Shale? I'm up for north VA, since it's closer to me, but whatever works for the majority is best.

And if it is MC or Shale in charge, give us specific dates, and we'll plan - it's already! I'm able to do basically any period of time except for the few I mentioned in the early parts of December (and apparently a wedding on November 13th or so I was told about last night...;_;).

metroid composite · « **Reply #37 on:** September 28, 2011, 10:07:10 PM »

I don't really care who hosts. Just...if I'm hosting, it had better be on a weekend when I'm actually in town (i.e. not late December, and not the same time as the west coast minimeet).

Idun · « **Reply #38 on:** September 30, 2011, 02:44:38 AM »

Someone roll the dice in chat.

I need to pen you gaiz in. Cmon.

Shale · « **Reply #39 on:** September 30, 2011, 03:16:45 AM »

Late December's out for me, because I might be working retail and good luck getting time off near Christmas. So if early December is also a no-go and late November hits the increased airfare, how about the first weekend in November?

Meeplelard · « **Reply #40 on:** September 30, 2011, 03:24:14 AM »

First Weekend in November should be doable for me, but again, we'd need to decide like NOW if we are to do it then.

Idun · « **Reply #41 on:** September 30, 2011, 03:19:43 PM »

Seems like a go with my syllabi. I support this first week, just need to know the specific days. (PS, Whitney Chadwick is coming in on Tues, so I totally will not do a Tues)

Ok, so we're talking like...4th (Friday) - 7th (Monday)?

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #43 on:** September 30, 2011, 09:00:32 PM »

That should work for me - I'll just have my students take the day off on Friday/Monday. Or force a resident to do it instead.

We'll see. Either way, I should be able to make it at some point.

I was thinking 4th-6th, but if enough people would be around to do stuff on the 7th that could happen.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #45 on:** October 05, 2011, 05:11:32 PM »

So...have we finalized a location yet? We should probably do that really soon so people can start working on appropriate travel arrangements.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #46 on:** October 05, 2011, 09:50:53 PM »

Timing sounds fine for me, but I would prefer Atlanta for a hosting site. For one, it's in driving range. And it's cheaper for me if flying becomes an option.

Would probably still be able to attend a VA DLCon, but it's less sure.

Shale · « **Reply #47 on:** October 05, 2011, 11:19:38 PM »

With my ever-murky employment situation, I can't commit to an Atlanta con.

Idun · « **Reply #48 on:** October 05, 2011, 11:53:29 PM »

I feel like if we pick a date (I agree with the 4-6 or 7th), then people will be able to calculate the costs. . . It's almost November (in my book for plane tickets at least)

Meeplelard · « **Reply #49 on:** October 06, 2011, 04:40:10 AM »

I would prefer VA only cause I'd prefer going on a bus (means I won't have to bother my parents for a ride to the airport and all that) than a plane for a short trip, but I can probably wing either. I just kind of want to get some finalized data since the date is coming up close, and I want to get the travel arrangements done ASAP.

So yeah, preference to VA, but I'll probably do Atlanta too.
