Protip: If you've reserved a rental car, you might want to see whether modifying your reservation will result in a lower price. Avis prices took a nosedive recently and I got a much larger vehicle for about $100 less than what I originally had.
@UPSLynx and I arrive Wednesday 10/27, at 8:55pm (and we'll probably be hungry!) and depart at 6:22pm, Sunday. Would appreciate rides in cars.

Oh hey that's right, it's been two years. So just after ICOK 2019 I managed to convince the powers that be that having an extra dog at ICHQ was a good idea. So some of you hanging 'round may be meeting a new friend as you come by. Her name is Kiki, she's a 30# dog (I have no idea what breed, likely pure mutt but she's great) and she loves people. She may try to jump on you when she sees you, feel free to tell her to not. She gets NO people food, hard stop. I should be around to handle her for the most part (not that she needs much of that normally), and please refer to me or Linc/Aaron if you have any other questions/concerns.
I... I am actually able to make it to this! I would very much like to carpool out from and back to the airport, and I would also greatly appreciate some ICHQ living space for Thursday night through Tuesday morning if that's alright.
Arrival 28 Oct @ 850P
Depart 02 Nov @ 400P
Looks like @Tushon lines up with me nicely on arrival, and I'll be happy to head out with someone leaving on the 2nd should there be someone leaving then.
The current dog struggle at ICHQ is convincing the dogs they are not allowed to have a rawhide on the couch. Neither of them seem impressed nor convinced this is a real rule.

Good luck and when you figure it out, could you teach Bruno and Zoey?
Sup guys. I really miss you all. 2020 and 2021 so far has been one of the most challenging times for me. Ever. For many reasons. I'll skip the details (for now).
I just know that I could really use some hangout time back at the ol ICHQ in Detroit. And hugs. All the hugs. Hugs for days. Maybe even some bro-bos, who knows.
@Linc, is there any space left for a small air mattress (twin/full size, not queen). If there is, I would like to try as hard as I can to make it this year.
Update my OP with slight landing time change.
Booking a Luxury Bus and taking Dallas train to and from Dallas airport. Should be an adventure
Looking for local travel from DTW Arrive Oct 28 7:19pm @mertesn we land about 35 min after you if that is not too inconvenient of a wait.
Depart Nov 1 7:05am - I have no illusion anyone wants to get up at 0'dark hundred on a Monday and take us to the airport but if anyone happens to be heading that way, I'll buy you some coffee

Oh hey. Probably should mention I'll be around all week. Wednesday I'll leave from the soup kitchen at 5 to head over to HQ and Thursday probably the same time after class. Other than that expect me around all weekend! Since I live so close I'll probably just be driving down to HQ each day so if anyone needs a ride somewhere or just wants to tour the "lovely" Center Line/Warren area feel free to lmk! Can't wait to see most of y'all for the first time! 😁😁😁
I arrive Wed 10/27 at 11:38 AM, and fly out Monday 11/01 at 12:20 PM. I'll take a Lyft unless somebody happens to be available or landing around the same time. @Linc could you add me to the staying-at-the-house list?
Alrighty, I should be able to make it this year. I can arrive Thursday and will head out either Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. @Linc please add me to the house list for attic space. Thanks!
I updated my post above with more details on intended sleeping arrangements. I still reserve the right to edit until the last minute. If you're penciled in for tatami mats and strongly prefer a cot (you're getting a ground pad either way!) and are 280 pounds or less let me know. Personally I'd take the tatami but it's ground level instead of raised.
@Linc Please add me for attic space. Loved the mat last time I stayed over, but whatever is fine! Will need it from Oct 28th to Nov 2nd if that's alright.
It was so good to see everyone and get the hugs and 's from everyone. It felt like a fun party, family reunion, and a celebration of each of us making it through the hellscape of the last 2 years all in one. Hope that regularly scheduled events are never derailed again!

In, no room needed, staying in the usual hotel out in Dearborn.

I might be able to make it; will likely be a last minute decision depending on work shens. If I am able to, I won't need any accomodations.

No problem.
I'm planning to come Friday afternoon to Saturday. Rented an Airbnb. Excited for hugs and hanging out! ❤️

I have a 10am flight that day, but Cola and Aaron will still be home, should be fine. Need you to depart before noon, though.
For the rest of you, please do clear staying later than the 1st with us before making that a plan. We all revert to normal schedules on Oct 2.
on Oct 2.
Oktober?
Monday, back at work.
