Why can't it be more north-er?

GA is about 8-12 hours away from me! I can't afford the gas AND a hotel room...

Elanhil · **Posted:** June 17th, 2012, 4:12 am

I also can't afford a plane ticket and a hotel room... so...unless you could make it more east-er, I'm a no-go. (: Unless of course, I *do* find that portal to Texas, then it might be a possibility as I'd at least be in the correct country.

At least Shawnie and I met you this week.

Poor Elanhil! At least you got to come to one!

So... how is all of this progressing?

Well, yeah, there is that.

But I want to meet MORE!

Oh yes...

Does everyone want the bookstore? If so, I can get together with my Mom and send you guys directions sometime in-between now and the convention.

Bookstore sounds good to me! Especially if there's a coffee shop.

Do I have to have the Skype subscription to skype in? Because I can't afford another bill...

Captain Nemo Marlene · **Joined:** May 1st, 2011, 5:08 pm **Posts:** 1808

No. It'd be free. From one skype account to another. Not a phone call.

NotThatShort · **Joined:** March 7th, 2012, 2:08 pm **Posts:** 2809

But we're talking about, what, 3 people Skyping in?

Zoe M. Scrivener · **Posted:** June 19th, 2012, 1:18 pm

Last convention we had a five or six way audio call going, and no one had to buy a subscription.

Captain Nemo Marlene · **Joined:** May 1st, 2011, 5:08 pm **Posts:** 1808

Yup. Group chats don't cost anything. It's only for phone calls, IIRC.

Elly · **Joined:** October 22nd, 2010, 7:58 am **Posts:** 4197

I won't be there, and I won't have skype, either... so have lotsa fun for me, y'all!

NotThatShort · **Joined:** March 7th, 2012, 2:08 pm **Posts:** 2809

But what about a video call? I won't be satisfied with audio

And it would get too confusing, anyway.

Captain Nemo Marlene · **Joined:** May 1st, 2011, 5:08 pm **Posts:** 1808

Well... I think Skype would probably be finicky and not work right if we tried a large video chat... it would probably freeze a lot, too...

And it won't get confusing with audio, because skype lights up the person talking.

NotThatShort · **Joined:** March 7th, 2012, 2:08 pm **Posts:** 2809

Really? That's cool! I did not know that.

Suiauthon Mimetes · **Posted:** June 19th, 2012, 9:26 pm

Skype should work fine.

*decides to make executive decision* Since no one has said having the convention at a bookstore would be the worst idea imaginable and they would nightmares for the rest of their life, I've decided we might as well plan for that until someone does say the above. My variation on "speak now or forever hold your peace".

Once I return from vacation, I'll send directions to all of the participants. (If I don't comment on this thread the minute I get back from vacation, someone stab me or use some other extreme method of getting my attention.)

Elanhil · **Posted:** June 24th, 2012, 2:11 pm

Bookstore sounds good. I'll try to read myself into Fellowship, so you guys can read me out of it there.

(Inkheart, anyone?

)

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** July 2nd, 2012, 9:18 pm

I would like to skype in.

Zoe M. Scrivener · **Posted:** July 2nd, 2012, 9:20 pm

It wouldn't be a proper convention without you Skyping in, my Airi.

Who is bringing the laptop to Skype on? I talked to M/L/S about it, and he said he thought Nemo was, but I don't want us to have a case of everybody thinking someone else will bring it...

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** July 2nd, 2012, 9:22 pm

Hehe!

Captain Nemo Marlene · **Joined:** May 1st, 2011, 5:08 pm **Posts:** 1808

If I come, which I should, I shall bring my computer. If you want my skype name, please PM me.

Zoe M. Scrivener · **Posted:** July 2nd, 2012, 10:09 pm

If? IF? Nemo! You better come!

Captain Nemo Marlene · **Joined:** May 1st, 2011, 5:08 pm **Posts:** 1808

I should be! But the details are so shaky right now! Come on, Sui. We need those times, dates, and addresses.

Suiauthon Mimetes · **Posted:** July 3rd, 2012, 8:28 pm

Oh yes. *takes cue and stabs self* I'm here!

Here is the website for the coffee shop. http://www.bouldercreekcoffee.com/
And here is the website for the book store that connects with it. http://www.mybfl.com/index.php

The address is
2815 Buford Drive
Buford, GA 30519

As for dates, working dates are the 27th and/or 28th.
As for times... I guess that would depend on when Zoe could arrive.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** July 3rd, 2012, 8:52 pm

* grins at details, shaky as they may be *

I'll try not to schedule anything those days, but be warned that I get my wisdom teeth out the Tuesday of that week.

Tell Huey to read himself into Fiddler's Green before you do.

* sigh * I wish... =P

Fun. *can remember when his were taken out*

If the memories of my experience are any indication, you should be travel-ready by the day(s) of the convention.

Danko Sandai · **Posted:** July 4th, 2012, 2:56 am

If a few people are in skyping, could I maybe skype in, I don't want to be a bother, but could I? maybe?

Yeah.

Mmm, depends on the experience.

I should be fine, though. Bruised a little, maybe, but fine.

Awww..... I'm pretty sure I missed it when I left for a while!

I want Danko to Skype in too.

Missed what, Ruby?

Wait... I didn't miss this?

Nope.

Haha!!! Yay! So... when is it?

Suiauthon Mimetes · **Posted:** July 5th, 2012, 8:45 pm

July 27th, 28th, or both.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** July 12th, 2012, 12:56 pm

Okay, I just found out that the 28th won't work for me. My Mom has to go somewhere, and we're watching 6 additional kids without her being here.

So, that date wouldn't work for me...

Suiauthon Mimetes · **Posted:** July 12th, 2012, 1:37 pm

OK.

What times will work for you, Zoe? *summons* Did both dates work for you?

Zoe M. Scrivener · **Posted:** July 12th, 2012, 8:32 pm

Both dates could work, yes. But you can't come on the 27th, and Shawn can't come on the 28th, and I want to meet you both!

And there's no way my parents will go for both days...

Suiauthon Mimetes · **Posted:** July 13th, 2012, 1:18 pm

Well, if we have it the 27th, then you could still meet everyone (since I assume we are still on for a private get-together on the 29th). Although if that happened, I know Fara would be bummed that she wouldn't be able to meet Captain and Ruby.

Hmm... I've got an idea, let me PM you and Shawn.

All right, then both days are out. It has to be either one, or the other.

NotThatShort · **Joined:** March 7th, 2012, 2:08 pm **Posts:** 2809

Why can't there be a HW VA convention?

*is still upset about missing this*

Captain Nemo Marlene · **Joined:** May 1st, 2011, 5:08 pm **Posts:** 1808

Ahhh... hrm... *coughcough* *cricket chirp* *cricket chirp* So.... it turns out... I can't come after all. I've been gone for three weeks and just talked with Mom about it again today (after about a month and a half or maybe longer...) Since the last time we talked, things have changed, so I can't come.

I'm so sorry. I thought it was going to work out... I probably should have checked in on Mom's side of things more so I could have told you earlier. My deepest apologies.

*sits back, waiting for people to beat me up for not coming* Pssst: I'll still try to skype in! *braces self*

Suiauthon Mimetes · **Posted:** July 15th, 2012, 9:43 pm

That leaves Zoe to meet Shawn and Ruby on Friday; or me, Fara, and Ruby on Saturday.

As for times, are we going to try for late morning-through lunch-into afternoon, or a meet after lunch and stay the rest of the afternoon? (Remind me, Zoe, were you unable to stay long into the afternoon on Saturday?)

Zoe M. Scrivener · **Posted:** July 16th, 2012, 4:27 pm

It's falling apart!

I can't stay much into the afternoon on Saturday, as far as I know.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** July 16th, 2012, 7:04 pm

Erm... provided I can get a ride, I can come...

I'll ask tomorrow, when I'm back home. * nod nod *

Saturday?! *capers*

If need be, I'll come pick you up-- Oh wait. I don't drive.

If need be, I'll have my family come pick you up.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** July 17th, 2012, 2:39 pm

I'll still be needed Saturday...

* grins * Thanks for offering, Sui.
