My royalties are paid in August. So I can't commit before then. Unless I see great sales of Kingmaker in places like Amazon, or riots of people wanting to buy in Boostores.

I wish everyone that attends all the best, stay focused on the meeting [don't get to drunk] it will be good to hear what you all came up with, I'm just pissed that I'm in Australia & not in the hosting location.
All the best guys & gals |

If you book a double and share a room at a Holiday Inn hotel, you can stay for $60 a night. Nice place, too. Scroll down for pics. Same here, room with a buddy and get a room for $45. And Motel 6 offers a room with two large beds for $20 a night. Pretty close to free. Yeah, I would say arrival on Oct 8 is best for International flyers, gives you some time to rest up. We can sleep over on the sub and DE either Friday or Saturday, I don't think people will want to sleep there two nights in a row. I am strongly considering renting a 12 passenger van for International members, this will save a lot of $$ on car rentals. For a comfortable 12-person van, the costs for 4 days would be a mere $45 total per person. I know some Texas and other US guests will drive in, so this will allow us some capacity, plus my car holds 5~7 people. So, you Brits, Germans, Dutch, and other Euros, I'll try to cover you so all you have to do is get on the plane. You can return home and tell your friends you had a Texan chauffeur. Edit: this would be even better! 15 person van, nice! $33 per person for the whole meeting time. Quote:

Neal, how far are you from Hobby? Would you pick people up from the airport (if you're getting the monster van)? That would be cool if I didn't have to get a rental car.

Intercontinental is about 45 minutes, but no worries, I will make a swing by there too. I am definitely interested in the monster van option, it will also help keep us together and minimize the number of people who will find it hard to follow the leader in the car caravan.

I'm liking this idea more and more, I'd easy drive the monster van
Looking at ticket prices from Aberdeen to Houston Bush International I'm looking at £350 which I could afford and I suppose I wouldn't need a huge amount of spending money. Main thing is the wife has said I can come if I want. |

I should be able to get a couple days off of college for this, I'm hoping Frau_Phillips can come. The flight from Atlanta to Houston for two people is about $400. :hmm: £200 isnt alot to meet the guys at Subsim
And what do you mean van?! Where's the custom limo with the periscopes and conning tower?! :rotfl:

Shoot! I was just going to rent a car and sleep in it for a couple of days.
You know like in Budget car lol, but if you got the room I've got the air faire. See you in October old friends ... :p Hey, isn't October Pearl Bach time? ... that's when Pearl beer releases it's German version of beer. P.S. You left off the 2002 Sub Sim meeting at the LA Electronics show

This sounds like a lot of fun. I will certainly be there. Tulsa is only an a days drive or a short flight. I make the schedule where I work so getting time off will be a snap.
I hope no one would mind, but my kidos will insist on coming as well. Respectfully Submitted; CDR Resser
