Y’know, something about that just don’t sound right… 
Of course the offer still stands, Slainte. We’d love to have you. Jeez, that didn’t sound right either…Anyhoo, just let me know when you’re coming and…aww…forget it!!!
See ya soon!!!
superbee dear, you’re incorrigible - but that’s why I like ya so much. I’ll be sure to let you know when I’m coming. 
ahem
KneadToKnow, I am planning on being there. I think I’ll probably meet up with superbee & family first. So, it’ll be up to him to get us lost, er, I mean get us to uptown Charlotte. 
And yes, I’ll take a nametag, please.
As we used to say at the Faire, “my face is my pass”
so no name tags for me.
But directions would be a good thing.
Why not just post them here, so we can all read and print them off, or just give me an address, so I can mapquest it, please?
e-mail will be a-coming. I second Aenea’s idea – why not just post directions on the assumption that out-of-towners will be coming in on 85 or 77 (even those taking US-74 from the west will join 85 before they get into Charlotte)?
Oh, and more specificity on date and time than “end of the month” could be useful, too!
See, this is why I don’t organize things like this.
Pending a correction by Cisco, it looks to me like we’re talking about the Rock Bottom at 401 N Tryon St, Charlotte, NC 28202. Maps and directions available from http://yp.yahoo.com or http://www.mapquest.com or wherever you prefer.
Yes, I wouldn’t mind coming if I knew when.
I’ve continued to assume we’re talking about the 28th.
Ok, well, I"m going to go out on a limb here and push for
Saturday Night
March 1st
As most of us work during the week, and will be driving in from out of town.
Any seconds on that?
And then, let’s all aim for a specific time.
What say you to 6:30 ish drinks, for a 7ish dinner?
I agree with that.
Agreed - Saturday evening would work best for me. I’ll be driving 3-4 hours and I work Friday until 4:00.
Sounds fine to me.
I have to work 
.
POKE POKE POKE
Ok, folks, tis Monday of “the last week” before the fest. I need some details, so I can get that hotel booked and directions printed.
Oh, and does anyone care to come back to this thread and tell us who’d going to make it and who’s not?
We’re coming, assuming weather holds good (I refuse to drive to and in Charlotte and back that night in rain or sticks-to-stuff precipitation).
Details, as I understand them: Rock Bottom Brewery, 401 N Tryon St, Charlotte, NC 28202, “6:30 ish drinks, for a 7ish dinner,” Saturday, March 1.
What’s the parking situation around Rock Bottom? Is there a lot, a garage, free, pay, bring a thug to keep the drunks away?
I’m planning on being there.
I had the same question back on page 1. According to Cisco, there’s a free lot across the street.
Saturday then? I believe I will be there! Woo!
