> [@nyctea scandiaca](#): > > So, what time is everyone getting there?? I am going to try to make it. Right now it’s about 50/50. I will check back in and let you know! I’m curious about the time to, we’ll be at a nearby hotel, The Country Inn and Suites, so I am wondering what time we should come by. ---

**Jayjay** , myself and little brother should be there around noon. At least that is our plan. ---

As **MsRobyn** mentioned above, she will probably be getting there early, as will **danceswithcats** and I - I’m guessing around 9:00-ish. ---

This is a poll: what time is everyone planning to get there? **danceswithcats, BiblioCat, MsRobyn** said they were planning to get there at 9 am, :eek: which seems wayyyy early to me (I rarely wake up before 11 am)! The last one I went to, I recall showing up sometime in the afternoon. I’m thinking like 1 or 2 pm. Will I be showing up too late? When is everyone else planning to arrive? eta: I see that **supervenusfreak** and **Jayjay** are planning to arrive around noon. ---

9 is too early for me too. I will probably get there between 10 and 11. ---
