Yup date is set. October 9-10, 2004.
Also, the website is up: www.myorangehat.citymax.com/shindig.html
The website isn't complete yet but it has some info up. Look for more info there in the coming days. :)

If you don't have a ride, I'm willing to pick some browncoats up at the Quakertown stop of this bus route. You may have to take a bus to Philly first and transfer, but it could be worth it if you can't find a ride.

Perhaps this should be bumped, for others to view...? Too bad. I did it anyhow.

I'm working on setting aside a block of rooms so as to get y'all a discount. I should have the details on that worked out by tomorrow. Without a discount, the hotel rooms are $99 for a room with two double beds. These rooms are quite nice and are very reasonable if you share the room and cost with a person or two.
There is another hotel that is just as close that runs about $69 a night, but that hotel is just crummy. But if you need to save some cash and are up for an adventure in "I-can't-believe-I-payed-money-to-stay-here-Land" then I'll gladly give you the info for that one too.
Also, I'm putting up people for free at my home. I estimate that I can fit 15 people. But you will be on hardwood floors and you'd be responsible for bringing your own sleeping bag or air mattress and pillow. I already have one for sure that I'm putting up and others that are going to get back to me. If you want to stake claim to a piece of my floor let me know ASAP, because it is first come first serve.
Also, the website should be completely finished by Monday(hopefully sooner). I actually have the weekend off so I can really get some work done. As always, if anyone has any questions please email me PenPenAgain@aol.com OR you can post messages on the board. :)

PS- Please help me keep this thread bumped. Thanks guys.

*bump*, and here's a question: what about bathroom facilities? You could rent port-a-johns for the weekend. My brother did that when he was having his bathroom redone. (Of course, it was waaay longer than a weekend).
Oh, and MoH, that is awesome that you can try to get lowered motel rates! Might I suggest discounts for the 2 double beds as well as rooms that could accomodate a third person? I have a feeling I may be driving a few people and I'd like to make it as cheap as possible.
This shindig is really coming along. My (orange) hat is off to ya!

Good suggestion. I'll look into renting port-a-johns. Of course my home's bathrooms will be available but I only have 1.5 bath in the whole house so it would be possible to get looong lines.

I JUST GOT LOWERED HOTEL RATES!! :) Just got off the phone with the lady and she got me a great deal. I'm going to send emails and post all the particulars within an hour or two. I just want to make sure I have all the info before I post it.

Yes, that it is. :) As is the shindig site. I just added a message board there so that everyone attending the shindig can meet ahead of time and possibly offer each other rides.
