As the current plot team is seeking to wrap up our plot lines and set things up for a big final event we've been discussing the concept of making it a 3 day event. Unfortunately all the good holidays late in the year are either way late and very busy or highly inconvenient (the national symposium and event is over the weekend of Labor Day).

In order to make it a big bash I'm curious if people would be interested in attending a three day in August, on a non holiday weekend, for the big plot blow out or if you'd rather we just keep it to a two day event. We've got to work on reserving the site soon so let us know quickly what you'd prefer.

Woot. Unanimous reply. I say do it.

Seriously though, I think it would be easier to get some random Monday off of work then a holiday Monday off of work when everyone else and their dog is trying to request it off, but that's more from a "retail/food service/customer service" standpoint then from an "office/school/professional" standpoint (though most people won't be in school then, either).
 
I can't say I've done a 3-day before, so I'm definitely game. Getting time off work is not a problem for me.
 
Three day, yes! I LOVE three days! It is actually easier for me to request days off on non-holidays. Far less people want random Mondays off.

Hmmmmm, may have to look into airline prices again. By then work should have leveled off to less-than-70hrs a week and will have PTO accrued. Hmmm.....
 
August 13th is the peak date of the Perseids Meteor Shower, unfortunately the peak will be early friday morning but the shower is expected to continue through the 22nd of August. At its peak the shower should be producing 60+ meteors per hour! The timing isn't absolutely perfect, but it could be pretty good, you can't plan fireworks like that. :D
 
We are currently in the process of reserving a site for August 19th-22nd (Thursday through Sunday). We should have final confirmation within a week.
 
There is a good chance Marcus (Andy) and Alcandar (me) might make their first journey through the mists for this one.
 
I might be able to make the last bit of that like usual.
 
Any word on the date? The sooner I know the more likely of being able to schedule time and flight! :D
