    The pre-reg deadline is today - June 15. Your form just has to be post marked today, not received - and it's $10 cheaper than at the door. If you're arriving on Saturday, may want to try this or be sure to get there really early - it generally sells out on Saturday.

    Ok, you can go back about your lives now.

    Ack! Thanks for the reminder. Despite the fact that I've typed today's date quite a few times, I didn't realize today was indeed the 15th. :D

    I'm not exactly down with the whole east coast con scene; what's Shore Leave all about? And why is it named using military terminology?

    For anyone interested, I still have space for one more person in our hotel room (so far, it's me, Ken2 and his wife). Right now we're at the Embassy Suites, which is walking distance (or staggering distance depending on what kind of night you've had) from the convention, but we are on the waiting list at the Hunt Valley Marriot, so there's a chance we might be there, too. Anyway, PM me if you're intertested.

    Zak, to answer your quesiton, Shore Leave is a convention up in Hunt Valley, MD (just north of Baltimore). It's name is taken after an episode of the original Star Trek series. Officially, it's a Star Trek convention, but it pretty much runs the gambit, and the Star Wars people have been taking over, lately.

    Crap on a crap cracker! I would miss the pre-reg deadline by a mere hour! :(

    Oh well, I'll just take my chances Saturday morning, but if I can't get in, I'll be mighty angry. And they won't like me when I'm angry! ;)

    And when/where should we meet up?

    I'm thinking maybe the lounge area in front of the main lobby around 7 or 8 on Friday. That way, we can at least all touch base and figure out who's, when's and what's of everything.

    Woo hoo! I got a room at the Marriot. :D (how come they don't have a triumph grin or something like that?) Some rooms opened up. I'll be getting there early afternoon, as well.

    That extra spot's still open, too, if anyone's interested.

    Jeff and I will be there on Saturday only. All we really could ask for is to use someone's room to get into our Snowtroopercostumes in. :D

    We're going to try to make it up there Saturday since that's the only day we're all free at the same time. If anybody wants to meet up at some point Saturday afternoon, let me know...

    You're welcome to use our room for costume changes, Wendy.

    And getting together on Saturday's a great idea. Mini-meeting! If I can even get a functioning sewing machine in the next week, I'll have some sort of costume. Madness.....

    Getting together Saturday is a must. After all, we'll have to celebrate (insert random background SW character here)'s birthday!

    Why don't we plan on meeting in the lobby at 2:00pm on Saturday the 10th and we can grab some lunch somewhere. We can always drive over (or walk over)to that shopping mall that's across the street from the Hunt Valley and reign havoc on one of the unsuspecting restaurants there. Sound like a plan?

    It's a fine plan - barring some incredibly interesting panel or something. For once I actually have an interest in a guest there!

    Are we still meeting that Friday? Maybe then we could coordinate when to meet on Saturday in case there's some conflict with the programing. (Yes, a meeting to decide about a meeting. And they say we never get anything done. Hah!)

    My garrison is having a multi garrison luncheon on Saturday so a lunchtime meeting is out for me.

    Ok, I'll Event Coordinate....

    Friday night - those of us there can meet up. Let's say 8 pm. In the "lounge" area. Then we can decide when to meet on Saturday - as we will have a schedule by then and we can avoid meeting at the same time as BJ or Harmony are doing their q&a session....
