LOL...well, it wouldn't be a good day when I came back.

I can look into it, though - maybe by some miracle, that weekend will be available.

woot!

Can't hurt to ask.

On that topic, can we get some solid dates put in so that I can request the appropriate time off?

Okay, does everyone agree with this:

MassaCon East 2008
Cincinnati, Ohio
Friday, July 18th through Sunday, July 20th

Those of course would be the "planned" days. Anyone flying in can come in early (or leave late), but we should decide so we can all get in at similar times.

(One thought: would it be easier for people to make it Thurs-Sat so you could be back home for work on Monday?)

I'd love to show up, however, getting time off would be nearly impossible as I'm transferring my job down to Tennessee shortly beforehand. I might be able to pull it. I'm hoping, honestly.

I'm over twenty-one. Definitely in for a stop at the bar in the evening. :awesome:

I'm a bigger fan of Friday through Sunday, if only for the fact that two four-day weekends sounds better than one three-day and one five-day work week.

Hopefully. We'll let those dates sit for a couple days so people can see if they can make it, then we'll need to get people to start committing to coming so CM (if it's okay) can set up hotel reservations.

Perhaps underage drinking with JLee in the room isn't the best idea.

I don't know. That's just my opinion. Not to be a party pooper or anything. :p

I'm definitely going to ask, but I know I'm supposed to be working weekends and he made it a point to stress that to me so I don't know that I could get off

That would be a lot more complicated, because everyone would need a passport and to change money and it'd be farther too.

The simple answer to this is that JLee isn't invited anymore.

I'm 50/50.
Basically, if I can work it out with a group, I'll go. There are a couple of people around me that will determine that, I guess. I also could probably hook up with the Maryland group.

i'd be driving down from NE Ohio, could fit maybe two more people in the car. any NE ohioans/cols people need a lift i'd be happy to help with a marginal fee for gas.

you'd have to tolerate two smokers in the car with you though.

I wish I could get out to Ohio, but it's in the middle of effing nowhere. If it wasn't for school, work, and being poor I could probably go. And if it was 30 hours closer. You middle of the country people suck. hint: Change it to Orlando!

No for real. All us Cali-boys should meetup. Steven, Avenger, Veger, Pommy what say you?

Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.
