Next question: Attendance

[Thrym]

The location has been voted upon.

It would appear that we are moving forward with the Myrtle Beach plan.

So, the next logical question (and this will require time to answer I know) is who is planning to attend.

*skips ahead in his calendar*

Alright, if I got this correctly, the dates are:

Wednesday, May 28
Thursday, May 29
Friday, May 30
Saturday, May 31
Sunday, June 1

Let’s get a head count.

List your ability to attend and your arrival date.

Edit: The week has changed

I can be there. Fun Fact June 6th is the date of D-Day in 1944 and my birthday in 1977 🙂

Please note the new dates.

[mule]

I’m likely but am unsure about spending 5 days with you losers. I am thinking more along the lines of 4. Leaved Wed after work and truck it on in. Be fresh as a daisy Thursday morning, and let the ladies know I am THERE! WOOO!

Or, drink some beer and have you guys phyuck with me whilst I sleep them off. *shrug*

[mule]

*listens to crickets*

Well I promise not to spraypaint you or anything when you are sleeping.. how’s that?

– mule

[91X]

I’ll be there

[Remus]

Its looking unlikely due to the cost, but more research must still be done. Feel free to try and find budget flights from the UK to anywhere near.

[G_kinkaid]

row row row your boat

gently cross the ocean

[mule]

calling monty… Of course if you do have a lot of time an old fashioned boat ride might be fun..

edit: cheapest I found was $529 + 375(taxes and fees) …man those taxes and fees kill ya…

– mule

[Monty]

I would wager the best prices would be Heathrow-Dulles, but you never know…..

Remus, what’s the best airport for you to go out of?

M3C

[mule]

well if he comes into Dulles I can pick him up

– mule

[Remus]

London Heathrow or London Gatwick, ideally, how much is that Heathrow-Dulles you reckon?

[Thrym]

Current Attending List:

Thom (Thrym)
Shawn (BTP)
Gary (G)
Mark (91x)
Pat (Vlan2k)
Bob (Monty)
Jon (Mule)

Will update this post as people speak up.

Let’s hear confirmations people.

That’s an AWFUL long time… Wednesday – Sunday is a definite “NO”. MAYBE leave after work on Thursday then drive all day back on Sunday.

This is looking more and more like “Not doable”.

[91X]

Mark(91X)

[Monty]

Well, I’m kinda tied to Vlan’s schedule. I wonder if the train is an option. Be easier than driving, anyway….

M3C

[s-m-r]

Sorry I can’t make it this time, folks. Things with the arts collective are fairly outrageous at the moment. Too much drama to juggle back home while being out of town. 🙁

Oh, yeah, and now I actually have a day job. That’s another challenge.

I really miss you guys and Markshire.

That’s just the dates the location is ours.

I believe Shawn and I are planning on heading down Thursday (really early AM) for Thursday evening arrival.

[Monty]

Bad News. After trying every way we can think of, Vlan and I can’t make it work. The cost is too high, and the travel time is just too great. We’d both love to go, but work and family makes it too hard to swing in the time we would have.

There were basically 3 options:

Drive – 12 hours minimum each way, with Gas at $3.50 plus (Well over $200, just in gas), and Vlan and I couldn’t leave until Thursday evening at the earliest, and had to return Sunday. That’s like 48 hours max. We discussed it, and it just don’t work.

Flying – Price was $250 pp. and then parking, etc. Again, it wasn’t really an option.

Train – Was actually MORE expensive at $350. Now I see why Amtrak is going bankrupt… Hard to get customers when you’re slower and charge more….

G – I’d love to see the place and if things were different, fine, but……

🙁

M3C

[G_kinkaid]

wow, we’re going for a tpw here. 😛

[mule]

hah apparently, well i’m still in 🙂

[Monty]

If Mule would check his IM, I asked him a question…..

M3C

[mule]

mule can’t. He’s sans internet right now. I just moved into my new place in maryland and apparently comcast is going to take their time hooking it up… about 2 weeks worth. God I love monopolies. I am not even sure how you sent me an IM.

– mule

[Monty]

mule can’t. He’s sans internet right now.

Then please call me at (631) 586-6742, or gimme your tel#, and I’ll call you…..

[mule]
