Tentative Con 2002 Dates

I'll try to make it again.  I'm not sure if I will be able too.  I've been hit hard the the economic downturn.

If I am able to amke it I'd be up for the road trip.

I have a Toyota pickup.  It can technically seat 6, but that would be asking an awful lot of tolerance.  4 is more realistic and even then the back seats aren't for anybody over 6ft.

June, July, August, September... there is difference from day to day. Its hot, hot, hot! If you don't stay inside your going to melt so moving the date a couple of weeks will make no sense as far as the temperature is concerned. Three things I recomend you bring... sunglasses, sun block(SPF45 for you pastey white northern'rs) and proof of medical insurance incase you die walking from the car to the hotel.

LMAO!!!

Karnak I looked into renting a van that would seat 4 or 5 with enough room for all the computers.  Something like $60-$75 per person rental cost for the whole trip.

Colorado Express, leaving track nine!  It's amazing how much you can pack in the back of a Chevy Suburban:).  I suspect Jarbo and I'll be there again.  We got room for at least two more, I suspect, so we'll have to kidnap a couple other Buccanneers to defray the costs of the drive.  Eskimo, you'll have to catch a ride with someone else, this time; you're a bit farther out of the way this year;).

Hmm...

Jarbo, Eskimo, Sabre have to be banned from knocking on everyones door at 4:00am to fly their Night Mission.  Though signing my name up for it, and giving them Yankee's room number to beat on was quite entertaining.

I second that Drex! ;)

Although, I did manage to change the room number prior to "the mission". Trust me, it was best for all involved. (especially you!)

:D

Yup if Sabre has another "scramble" mission this year, I vote he gets his very own "blanket party" :p

Hehe when he asked if I wanted too fly it, I think my reply was....  ARE YOU NUTS!!! ;)

FunkedUp,

I might be up for it.  I really can't say right now.  My employment situation is sketchy.  I'm sorta, kinda temporarily working at a hell job to keep from being forclosed on.

I really, really, REALLY WANT A REAL JOB!!!

I'll know more about my situation as the thing approaches.

For now consider me a tentative "yes" that may be forced to withdraw.

I would love to attend the con this year.  As I am retired, it doesnt matter much to me when it is.  In the summer, I rent a piece of vacant land to a guy who lives in an old camouflaged school bus for big bucks - so I can prolly afford it  :)
