Re: So Cal 2008
Pending my wife's other plans for me, I think that would be a good one for me.rickenbrother wrote:Okay, who would be coming to a last weekend of August confluence (only weekend a particular hotel is available).
Re: So Cal 2008
While any weekend in August is fine with me, I'd really prefer the Doubletree since it looks to cost about the same and it's such a NICE,open room with high ceilings adjacent to a bar and restaraunt and far away from hotel guests. One thing that occured to me was that since the Confluence probably wont be on a Friday this year, I won't have to take a day off, which of course costs money too. This alone should make it much more affordable for local forum members too.
Re: So Cal 2008
I'll be available any time. I'm hoping to make this year's trip a 4 or 5 week affair in order to spend some time with other forumites, so I guess SoCal could be the start of all that. I can start booking flights, etc. when a date for SoCal is finalized.
BTW...... my vote would be for the Doubletree Club if it's at all possible and I'm happy to contribute to costs.
I should have a 350v63 MG there to muck around with too!

Re: So Cal 2008
The earlier in August the better for me personally. I start work Aug 15ish.. and I cannot take off the first week of school again.. it just doesn't look good. I am sure those with school issues would agree. Once school starts it is all over but the crying. So I vote earlier.. and I have no opinion on location as we seemed to make it work out fine last year.. no complaints from me.

An onsite Radio Shack would have been nice!!!

Re: So Cal 2008
That makes it so much better for me! And a great way to end my summer vacation! You guys are the best I can't wait to see everyone again.
Re: So Cal 2008
Hi Folks
I am now back from my Georgia jaunt and completely in love with the Southern States!!
Please don't make it any earlier than August as that first weekend is a bit of a struggle for me. My band have been asked to play a (very, very) small music festival and it is a big deal for us. We have never done anything so adventurous. The date is not set yet, but it is likely to be the end of July, so I will be struggling. It may even be early August, in which case, I am not sure what I will do. For me, the second weekend would have been perfect, but I am the new girl and so you old hands need to be sorted first.
It would be really helpful to know definate dates as soon as possible so I can make some harsh decisions if I have to. I am really looking forward and hoping to meeting everybody.

Re: So Cal 2008
Thanks for the input, Sarah.
As I mentioned before, the HI ballroom (which has a ceiling higher than that of the Doubletree Club!) is down a short hallway from the restaurant/bar area.
The ballrooms at the two locations being considered are nearly the same size:aceonbass wrote:... the Doubletree [has] ... such a NICE,open room with high ceilings adjacent to a bar and restaraunt and far away from hotel guests ...

Re: So Cal 2008
Oh...well that's very different. Never mind.

Re: So Cal 2008
I know that a few of the people who were at last years SoCal confuence saw the ballroom on the other side of the bar and restaurant and even commented that it would be a nice room to do the confluence in.doctorwho wrote: The ballrooms at the two locations being considered are nearly the same size:
