Hey Lib, Well, even though I don’t really know any of these people, I would like to thank them all personally for voting for [JerkWaterJive](http://mp3.com/jerkwaterjive)! 😃 …and seeing as how I live in Columbus…you know I’m always down for a party!!! 😃 ---

If a bunch of people are coming in from out of town, I recommend asking a hotel about a group rate, they usually do provide them. just an FYI. ---

I definitely plan on asking about group rates, especially since it will be mightily convenient if everyone ends up in the same hotel.

Just bring this back to the first page. Oh, and I got an e-mail from **bunnygirl**. Here’s the relevant portion. No, you guys mind your own business, I’m not telling you what’s in the irrelevant part. > [@](#): > > Work has kept me tied down - I’m really quite busy almost all of the day and don’t get the opportunity to surf on over to the SDMB. I’ve been able to lurk every great once in a while but no posting, unfortunately. And since we don’t have a 'puter at home, that’s that! 🙂 That’s so great that Libby and Brian are engaged!! Isn’t that crazy - meeting through the web and stuff. I think sometimes about how the internet has changes society’s ability to form relationships and communities as opposed to the traditional way (next door neighbors, small towns, etc). I find it pretty fascinating. > > Please do tell everyone on the Board I said “hi” and a big “congratulations” to Libby and Brian. Feel free to gossip among yourselves. ---

Count me as a maybe. I am in Delaware, OH but as I am only 15, this gives me a transportation problem. I’ll have to check the rents on this one. ---
