ShoreLeave 2006 - Orlando!

178 posts in this topic

Fred is keeping a running list of those people that have expressed a committment to going to Orlando. You can find the list of attendees, a loose calendar of events, and hotel information at: ShoreLeave- Florida 2006

 

I believe Atragon has asked those that have secured lodging (either at the Omni or at some other locale) to send him an email so that a mailstring can be compiled so that everyone can be kept up to date with any pre-planned events, arrange rides to/from the airport, etc.

 

128 days and counting :D

Thanks, Dac. Yes, I have asked for that and so far only have the following people on the mailstring. If you don't see your name here and you know you're going to attend, please send me a note at [email protected]

We need to get people from the bottom half of the alphabet to represent.

I would go, and therefore represent the middle of the alphabet, but I spent what little money I had left from my tour in Iraq to book a trip to the PI in just over a month. Heheheh.

 

By the way, I'll gladly accept donations. :D

I only live an hour or two from Orlando. Though it'd be nice to KNOW someone by then. I'm still in the Academy. :D

 

The website is pretty neat... though why is it called Shoreleave 28 West? Tell me if I am wrong... but Florida is on the east coast. =)

And that is why you're still a Cadet! (sorry, that was rude, but I couldn't resist)

 

That's a very good question! When we first started meeting away from the Maryland science fiction convention called ShoreLeave, we went out to Las Vegas. That's why we called it ShoreLeave West. After three years out there, we are now trying a new location, but the name seems to have stuck, even though we are East. Personally, I think we should just call it ShoreLeave 2006.

Heh, that's okay. It's actually pretty funny. :D

 

I was just wondering.. it just seemed like an odd name considering the location of the event. But hey ..whatever floats your boat, right?

Hey there,

 

Because technically, barely, Orlando is west of Baltimore. :D

Sunlight helps with Vitamin D.....just say you were sleeping on your porch to get some sun. Granted, if it's raining at home, you're screwed...but then again, who's to say you don't have a tanning bed?

Yes, Precip, there are a number of short-term ailments that require time in a tanning booth. Tell them you had a skin rash that needed UV treatment, or your shrink said you had sunlight deprivation disorder, etc. Give them your excuses, not us! ^_^

 

lol, Blu! How did you know I already have a list of salsa clubs! Seriously. What I'm working on now is getting some first hand information on which ones are good. (i.e., free food, live music (dancing boys), good mojitos).

Woot! Make sure they have very large salted glasses of intoxicating beverages, and we'll have Atragon drive us home!

Hmm, is that because I won't drink (who says so?) or because I'm the designated driver (hey, who decided that?) or because I'm the stodgy old person (okay, now you're REALLY making me mad!!)

 

Actually I think it's because I can sit there and watch you all fall apart and have the power and authority of being in control (of the digital cameras!)

 

(and isn't it "W00t"?)

Question:

 

Am I reading correctly that a caravan to the Space Center would be on the arrival day the 14th of July?

 

Curious.

It is tentatively planned for Friday, yes. If we find a lot of interest for this trip with folks who are arriving throughout Friday, we may move it to Saturday. We're not getting a pre-arranged private tour, so we will be flexible about this.

 

So, does this mean you will be joining us?
