Getting close!
[cross-posted to nsingman and quartercon]
Okay campers, we're only 11 days away from the official start of QuarterCon 6. That means that it's time to revisit, revise and confirm. Our first draft was here. There are two significant changes from that draft, both of which stem from an effort to be a little cost-conscious.
First, the limo services I've seen require a three hour minimum most days, but a four hour minimum on Saturday. So we're going to do the Abita Brewery tour on Friday at 1PM (three hours is plenty to go back and forth and have our 2PM tour, and works out to approximately $30/person), and move the other activities around. Second, the Rock-n-Bowl trip will still be on Saturday, but with a four hour minimum, I think the cost is going to be considerably more than the cost of a bunch of taxis back and forth, especially considering that only about 10 of us are going. So I say we call United Taxi and tell them to expect a bunch of businesses that evening, in both directions.
Based on responses so far, I'm expecting the following 17 attendees for the brewery tour: jungle_goddess, nsingman, Momma Goddess, Auntie Goddess, soundwave106, crystalgee, blackfeatherdjr, sharkbait, sb_pyrat, spo00on, m0usegrrl, dizzdvl and her friend Ashley, everyinchofme, assassin_kittie, khanadasc and nstantkarma.
Also based on responses so far, I'm expecting the following 12 attendees for the Rock-n-Bowl: jungle_goddess, nsingman, Momma Goddess, Auntie Goddess, soundwave106, crystalgee, blackfeatherdjr, dizzdvl and her friend Ashley, spo00on, everyinchofme, and assassin_kittie.
This doesn't include anyone who was unsure. The most important confirmation is for the Abita Brewery tour, because I'd like to reserve our transportation no later than Tuesday (two days from today). The Rock-n-Bowl has some group rates, but we'd need a bigger group (I think the minimum size is 16).
And last, but not least, the party we're hosting in the suite on Friday night will have snacks and hard and soft drinks. We'll obviously have lots of Abita Amber, standard spirits (vodka, tequila, rum and yes, EVIL gin) and mixers. If there are particular requests, please let me know so we can have them ready.
