Voltron Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 I just can't picture you as the Gimp, Steve.
agile_one Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Posted October 28, 2010 The final date decision has been made, and the Tampa Winter Meet will be the weekend of 12/10-12. The thread title is correct, but the first post is incorrect - if a mod could change the dates in that post (I can no longer edit it), that would be sweet. Book flights, but hold off on hotels - negotiating with a few, but won't finalize till next week. I am away in Tenn at the moment, so meet planning is on hold. As stated in original post, this will be a HC meet - no announcement or posts on HF at all. It should be a great weekend, and your hosts will work hard to serve up a good experience. Plus, it's getting that time of year that some Florida sunshine will feel good to a lot of you. Feel free to pm me with any questions. Steve, and any others who were polite enough to ask about coming ... you are all welcome, and we will show you a good time.
jp11801 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 flights booked arrive 440 pm friday depart 500pm sunday
shellylh Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 OK, turns out I can make it and my loving hubby has given me the ok. Just wanted to make sure I am still invited before making flight reservations (pretty please). Planning to come in on Friday afternoon and leave on Sunday evening. Sound good? (There are a lot of reward travel flights available right now so I don't want to wait too long.)
boomana Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 You don't need an invitation. You are part of Team Florida's travel team.
shellylh Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 Flight is reserved. Arriving Friday, 10:55am at TPA and leaving Sunday, 6:46pm.
Voltron Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 Flight is reserved. Arriving Friday, 10:55am at TPA and leaving Sunday, 6:46pm. I knew you could do it! Sorry about that Wayne.
Wmcmanus Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 I knew you could do it! Sorry about that Wayne. Ya, it kind of sucks, but of course it's impossible to pick a date that works for everyone. Gene, Vicki, Mike, etc., I'll be in Tampa from Nov 26 - Dec 6th and would love to get together for some adult beverages at some point. Have Atom, will travel.
morphsci Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 Woo hoo! Just got the go ahead for this. Didn't even have to sell my soul, just had to turn it into a mini-family vacation.
tyrion Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 Great news Jim! I guess I should break the news to my wife tonight. Sorry you can't make it Wayne. Anytime you are in the Fort Lauderdale area, let me know and we can meet for a drink.
Voltron Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 Woo hoo! Just got the go ahead for this. Didn't even have to sell my soul, just had to turn it into a mini-family vacation. Woo Hoo indeed!
shellylh Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 Woo hoo! Just got the go ahead for this. Didn't even have to sell my soul, just had to turn it into a mini-family vacation. Yay Jim!
guzziguy Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 Have a great time guys. I checked prices from Santa Barbara and it's just too expensive for me at this time.
crappyjones123 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 well im not as proper as shelly but i guess i should ask as well just in case... can i come? i promise to be quiet.
Grahame Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 Joanne has observed me reading this thread on occasion and has suggested "Why don't you go?" Well?
Nebby Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 I just checked my schedule today thinking I should see how it looks before going and I realized I have two large projects going on before and after that weekend.....but to hell with it. If I'm welcome I'll be there
Voltron Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 Crappy and Nebby, I don't think you need permission to come to this meet if you are HC members. It will be good to see you again, Ben, after all these years. I'm pretty sure you came to HeadFest 2007 from Japan, is that right?
Nebby Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 That's right Al, I was at HeadFest 2007. Most of it was a blur though, I think I was still jetlagged at the time...
mrarroyo Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 This is great! been away for a few days and come back to see this meet. Has a hotel been selected? Steve, maybe you could go back with the Marantz 2220? I am in the process of geting a latex based expanding foam to make a good cushion for the receiver (somehow I know this phrase will get me in trouble). Cheers!
justin Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 well airfare already went up $90 from the previous weekend, but that's ok. tickets purchased. as for gear i'm going to try to have some prototypes there. vicki--can you bring your BHSE?
swt61 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Posted October 29, 2010 (somehow I know this phrase will get me in trouble). Cheers! Not at all, latex is cool with my peeps. I think I can pack light enough to leave room for it Miguel. Once a hotel has been picked I'll finalize my reservations. I'm thinking about arriving early Fri., and leaving late Mon.
