Yay! The picnic idea is really fabulous -- they were SO FUN in London, and a really great (and cheap) way to do a meet-up. I would definitely be good to help on anything else being done, goodie bag assembly, etc. Let me check if dracofiend is coming to the con, because she gave everyone these awesome goodies at Sectus, just for fun -- she must be brought in on goodie bag making! She haz skillz :P
What's the day that everyone will be arriving? Wednesday or Thursday? An afternoon picnic before the programming kicks off would be nice. If we want to stake our claim on time and location lightening fast, maybe the Snarry fen can work around US, LOL.
And after this post, do you want to do an intro post thing? I can do the coding for it and post. And we can do a tag for "intros" so everyone can find out who is going and read through info when they stumble upon the comm later. *gets excited* Also, we may be able to talk gossymer into making a spiffy layout!
And, man, I am SO excited to visit Chicago for the first time. I've been in love with it since Early Edition :P
I know some people are coming in on Tuesday, because Wednesday is the Wizard Rock Concert basically all day... some people aren't getting in until Wednesday morning for that, though, so Tuesday is out. Thursday before the arrival dinner is a possibility... there's really nothing going to be going on that whole afternoon other than check-in. Once we recruit more members to the community, we should do a poll to see who would be able to come then. =) Also on Saturday there is an hour break for lunch, and Millenium Park isn't far from the hotel, but I feel like we'll need more than an hour for the meet-up. Right now I'm thinking Thursday is the best idea.
Next on my mental agenda was intro posts, so that sounds good! As does a spiffy layout... I just stumbled across this red and green one, which was supposed to be Christmassy, but I thought it fit rather well... =)
Chicago is one of my favorite places in the world, and perhaps I'm saying that because I live here, but really... it's an exciting city. I want to organize some smaller touristy type things, especially for those who are staying a couple of days later!
Actually, I think I'll make a poll about having the meet-up Thursday afternoon right now... I like the idea of having a solidified time early on... that way, no one can say they made former plans... we'll be the former plan... =)
