Confirmed dates 2013

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

It occurs to me belatedly that I really should have announced this here. Sorry about that. It's been so long since posting to lj was second nature, and that does make me sad. D:D:D:

As mentioned at various times and in various places, the confirmed dates for get/together 2013 are the weekend of the 5th and 6th October, with festivities commencing on Friday 4th, and farewells Monday 7th if you're around.

If you have a twitter account, then make sure you follow @get__together, as that does tend to be where I make announcements in the heat of the moment. If not, I promise all future updates will arrive here in a more timely fashion.

Start thinking about presentations you might like to make, questions you'd like to submit for discussion, and just generally getting in the mood. It's only nine weeks away!

ETA: check comment thread from Dewey to call early dibs on accommodation if you need it.

Okay, deeply shamed at having not been able to get back to you about this till now -- and still rather furious at 9/12ths of the accomodation people I have contacted in the last TWO MONTHS -- was there still space for 3 or 4 people from team Auckland in the Brentwood? We can put three of us there (and I assume one on a couch at casa du hockey, thoughts K and T?) if there is a room free, if they are all spoken for we'll figure something out instead. But I am getting blanked left right and centre by people who claim to have rooms free and then refuse to reply to emails/calls to try and confirm them and am about ready to give up on Trying Other Options.

(Also, Dewey, you're both a saint and a goddess among fangirls, in case I have not mentioned this to you previously. A++++++ cat herding. <3)

Actually so far I only have me and my two roommates. So still room.

What I was able to book back then was 4 rooms with one double and a single bed. So three people in a room max. There may be scope for a rollaway but not sure if that would be better than a couch.

I know team Auckland has no problems sharing a bed but I am going to check this afternoon if any of their 4 person rooms have opened up. Never know - maybe some sports group doesn't want to go to earthquake land!

But yes! I will hold one of the rooms for you.

Okay, awesome. Seriously, you're the greatest. <3 And yeah, just let me know if you want a hand with anything or if I need to give you any extra info or what have you. Thank you so much!!
