Quote: Nowhereman said: Like I said before, I need a lot more warning than this! When it was all mentioned before, there was never a 100% confirmation of date.
I need to book flights and time off, and save some serious money (even if you take the cost of flights out of the equation, theres no point going to the USA without some serious wonga in my pocket).
Anything less than six months before the date is no good to me!
Well, *I* thought we had a 100% confirmed date... I was, apparently, FUCKING wrong.
Six months out is October now, I think that is no good for any of us (although hotels and flights would be cheaper) b/c jobs, school, etc. Maybe a Kamphausen Thanksmas, Charlie Brown?
I would again like to propose organizing this around a convention of another sort. Like WonderCon or something. We're all geeks, it might be fun during the hangover-hours to have somewhere to go.
I also want to emphesize two points. One, at least a few of us are serious about the whole thing, so it would be totally cool to make it happen. Two, if only Sneaky, Beardguy, and I make real definate yes/no answers, there's nothing to work with. The reason this failed to plan the first time is because of wishy-washy answers. So, "Yes, I plan to come on the 12th of June," is a good answer, even if we end up rescheduling for the 10th. Draw lines in the sand, don't just fart in the sandbox.
Old men, fear me! You will shatter under my ruthless apathetic assault!
