Huzzah, we have a planning thread.

@Wagsftw @Lincoln and I may drive to DC. Perhaps leave on Thursday, come back Monday?

Everyone else sound off here.

Lincoln edits to actually add relevant info:

Rennfest 20102 is 31 Aug - 3 Sept

That's Labor Day weekend.

Annes and pragtastic host our only annual "away" event in the metro DC area. This event is dominated by board games, delicious food, and beer (wait, isn't that every event?). On Saturday we arrive at the Maryland Renaissance Faire at opening and stay there until our legs give out (or we start to sober up).

We begin at their apartment, typically move to Annes' parents' house near the faire grounds on Friday, spend all day Saturday at the faire. In the past we've met up with Preacher & family on Sunday, but I have no idea if he'll even be in the country for it this year.

Airport: Please use DCA. BWI is possible but inconvenient, so group flights (or don't, at your own peril).

  • If I get a job where I want to, it'll be an easy drive. If I don't get said job, I'll have a wedding to go to. :P

    In the past @Annes and @pragtastic have opened their apartment to us for a day or two. After that anne's parents would let us all crash at their house (closer to the renn faire + more space + not an apartment so we don't have to keep as quiet).

    The best airport is DCA. Super easy to hop on the train and get to the Motley Fool (if they are at work) or to get a quick pickup.

    I think BWI and IAD are both also negotiable if price differences justifies it. Probably talk with our hosts beforehand.

    And with that: IN.

    Alright, so who in Michigan is actually interested in carpooling to save on the flight costs?

    @WagsFTW
    @GnomeQueen
    @Lincoln (?)
    Thomas (?)

    May also be useful to add Local/Flying/Driving to the ends of our names in the first post with list of attendees.

    I'm still working out whether Aaron's coming. Obviously that will effect my plans.

  • AnnesAnnes Tripped Up by Libidos and Hubris Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    Huh. We might have become too popular. Sleeping at our place might be a TIME. We'll figure it out :)
  • GnomeWizarddGnomeWizardd Member 4 Life Akron, PA Icrontian
    Any places for a tent or hammock?
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian
    @GnomeWizardd No, it's an apartment complex. Bring an air mattress.
