I still don't know for sure...I've gotta find a job for the summer, and then see if I can get time off to come...2 and a half job applications (out of 9) left to go! (I've already been rejected by one...)

OH SNAP
Actually, I've decided I'm not worried about videos. I figure if Jenn points her camera at me, it'll break, and that will solve the whole problem. ;)
Well said. Plus, if I'm not required to sing, I'm a dab hand at makeup. We can work it out. Damn, people, this is the one. BE THERE. please?

Hey, any chance of dAN? I know it's a slog, but I'd love to meetcha, dAn!

OK guys...
I found a fare.
About $50 more than I wanted to pay, but Hyperception says to grab it.

The only problem is the earliest I can arrive is 6:45 PM on Friday, and I have to fly out at 6:55 AM on Monday, meaning I would have to be at the airport at like 6:00 AM or so.
Will that work? ali, are you leaving Sunday or Monday? Will I miss too much stuff on Friday, or cut into plans arriving at dinner time? Will I need to find different accomodations for Sunday night? Is there anyone willing to drive me to and from the airport at those times? I can't afford to also rent a car...

I really don't want to lose this fare, but I don't want to be stuck not knowing what I'm doing after reserving it...

~*~edit~*~

OK...same fare out of Tampa intead of Orlando.
Arrival time on Friday would be 12:50 PM, and I would need to be at Denver airport around noon on Monday.

Is this doable with anyone?

I have Monday off, so I could possibly give a ride to the airport on Monday if my schedule does not change between now and then. Which it is in danger of, unfortunately.

As for picking up, I'm not sure, since I'll be hosting.

I'm curious when people are planning to arrive on Friday. I'll be off work (again, if my schedule doesn't change dramatically) at 2pm, and will probably be there at about 2:30 at the latest to let people in. Although a nap might be necessary if there will be dancing that night...

YAAAY! :biggrin:

I'm supposed to arrive early Friday morning, and my flight Monday isn't until 4:45pm. So I can do an airport run or two, no problem.

Don't forget your sleeping bag! :)

Not sure about times Cag. Louise and I might be in Denver Thursday evening (we'll stay in a hotel if we get there by then). We want to pick up Aliantha on Friday morning so we'll definitely be in town by then. But just give us a time and we won't come any earlier.

I plan to have my mobile (cell) on me so I'll give you my number. Louise will you have yours? I'm going to avoid taking and making calls over in the US. I can get international roaming (at least, I'm pretty sure I can...I'll check) but I get charged to receive calls as well as make them while os, and it's about $1.50 a minute. texts are aok though (only an extra 50c surcharge).


Oh! 28 days! TWENTY EIGHT ******* DAYS! GO YOU GOOD THING! :biggrin:

Yeah, Thursday night might be bad. We both work at 5am on Fridays so...yeah....I'd house you if that wasn't the case. But we pretty much are to bed by 8pm on those nights. Which is why I'll be off at 2pm.

A cheaper alternative is that you might be able to get a temporary cell phone, but I don't really know enough about it to say it is cheaper or not. Just a thought.

For more on the where to stay cheaply front, I've been noticing some scary little dive motels for the truly budget conscious who are not so interested in the glamorous life and want to be a few blocks from where I live. I haven't checked with any of them, but I could if we have any interested parties. They look a little toward the seedy side, but you'd be considerably closer than camping. They look like my first apartment, to be honest, and I lived through that experience.

Oh, and for those coming, feel free to PM me for address and phone number. I'll be happy to pass that along.
