Ookla,

I'm in for certain.  

Gemm,
It's probably cheapest for you to fly directly to Seattle.  If we do drive from Salt Lake, it might be fun to have you along, but I'm not certain if we're even going to do this.  

Both of you,

Shall we room together, then?  We can plan on us three in the hotel room, and I could book it.  If Karen decides to come, we'd have a fourth slot for her (assuming she doesn't mind sharing a hotel room with two single guys) or we could probably find someone else.

Hurrah, I'll start working now so I can purchase these things.

I'm not sure yet about the hotel. When do you think that needs to be decided by?

[EUOL]

We've got some time, I'm sure.  How soon will you know whether or not Karen is coming?

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Probably in a couple months.

So I'm looking at the guest list and comparing it to who's going to Scotland for WorldCon and I'm seeing a whole lot more recognizable names in Scotland (dang, I wish I had the money for another trip to Scotland). I'm actually not seeing a whole lot of recognizable names at Cascadiacon at all, actually. I see Joshua is going to Scotland, actually, EUOL. That would be so fun.

Anyway, I'm curious if any of you know what kind of attendance is expected for an off-WorldCon year. Do you know where I could find that kind of information, especially compared to numbers for WorldCon years?

Ok, I think I'll go. I'm going to be working my tail off making dough (and going nuts), so it'll be fairly amiable for me to go. Lets go Red Tights!

Also, how much would one want to bring to Cascadiacon?

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Ok, so looking back into this, Cascadiacon will be September 1-5. Now, thinking only of myself here, will I have to fly in on the 31st, or will I make it on the 1st? And the other end of that, should I fly back the 5th, or the 6th?

Now, thinking of those who are going. Where are we going to stay? I'm sure if Brandon we're to use his powers of Authorial intent we could get a deal, I dunno. But hey, so yeah.

The Raddison is the standard room rate will be $ 89.00 plus tax (single to four person occupancy). At the Hilton it will be $109.00.

So persons, what's our next move?
