We in the Order have noted a lot of out-of-area interest in the Browncoat Ball in October, and thought, what the hell, let’s make a meetup weekend out of it.
Information about the Ball itself can be found here: http://browncoatball.com/2013/
The Ball itself is on Saturday, October 5th. While the AZ Browncoats are hosting a series of events all weekend, we’ve been buying ball-only tickets so that we can have our own weekend plans.
I know there was some interest among the Dallas crowd, and would like to get a good idea of who is really interested in coming out to spend the weekend in sunny AZ with some pretty cool peoples.
This post will update with more solid information as we get an idea of how many people are interested. Something we’ve discussed outside of the standard block of hotel rooms is the possibility of renting a house, depending on numbers and costs. With the right number of people, it’ll cost less per person than a weekend at a hotel like the Aloft.
04/08 Update: Hey you want this rental house? Cheaper than adoption!
The plan as it stands now is to get the house Friday-Monday. It sleeps 14, we currently have (I think) 11 people. If need be we can make floor space for more! This is going to cost each person (at our current numbers) right around $100 for the entire weekend. Plus we plan on bringing in groceries and cut down on food costs by not eating out every meal.
Also, there will be no need for boxing up booze to move from room to room.
Also also, Early October in this area is still pool weather, and yes, there is a pool. Plan accordingly!
Additional note- if you have not done so, please take a minute to fill out this form the very fantastic Juan put together to help us organize things. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gZ5O11dyGJ13z7_MYchSeSnbwPCwTyQbIHo4pOK4QO8/viewform08/28 Update!
House plans fell through. Further details to follow.
