FYI - Anyone who booked their room at the $139/night rate needs to call the hotel and make sure the rate was lowered to the $119/night rate. Mine wasn’t and they re-booked me and then cancelled the original reservation.
Ferris, you’re pretty close to the truth.
Again, I’ll be in Mordor (Paris) to have discussions with Sauron (corporate overlord) during the time frame of this meetup which you speak of. Hopefully a large eagle (A320) will fly me back to my hobbit hole in The Shire (Waterford MI) late Sunday night. I probably won’t even be able to drop by The Prancing Pony ( Kennedy’s Pub) to celebrate St. Patricks Day. Drinking French vodka in Business Class is a poor substitute.
Safe travels and loads of fun for all who have the good fortune to attend

Hotel booked from Thursday to Monday (at $119/night rate - thank you very much). Exact travel plans not scheduled yet, but I will stay in the Phoenix area before the meetup.
It will be good to see you again Rickard!
Likewise. Tickets to and from US done. Now it’s just a matter of domestic flight plans.
Woo Hoo!! I can’t believe that I actually have time off between gigs that falls at that exact time!!! Just wrapped up making reserving all my stuff. Flight, hotel, time… Booked!!
Wow, this year looks even more awesome than last. Hotel looks great and sooo many roundtables, drooooolllll…roundtables discussion… Alas family, finances and a whole lot of other stuff will be keeping me from Dallas this year. I’ll be watching the updates and wishing i was there come meetup time. Hope you all have a truly wonderful weekend!

Flights purchased, car reserved, bring on March!!!
I found that listening to the live podcast made not being at the meet up less sucky the year I couldn’t go. That’s my plan for this year too.
I am so, so excited that I get to attend this year! I didn’t think there was any way to make it work. But it did! Now I just need a roommate. Who’s looking for one more warm body? I’m prob easier to reach via DM on twitter during the days but I’ll check back here after work.
I will miss you Dawn this year, I really liked meeting you last year. Will just have to crash of the Order of the Phoenix Meetups this coming year. The roundtables look super interesting, I can’t wait to hear all the discussions. I think there is a smile plastered on my face at least 2-3 days after a meet up.

Looks like I won’t be able to make it this year after all… 
Plane, check.
hotel. check
Pegasus crew uniform, check.
top gun mug (w/o the viper on top! grr), check.
backup jedi robes, check (if i lose enough weight by then.)
Looking forward to meeting the 5000 friends & family I never met! lol
Make the top gun mug authentic and get a hot wheels F/A18C(or E can’t remember) on top
Oh no, it’s the qmx replica. Just wish it had a Viper on it.
Are you coming this year again?
What a bummer to be missing this year. Really
Enjoyed meeting both Dawn and you Alice.
Plus we made a killer Lego team! Hope you have
A great time.
I finally got a good Internet connection out
Here in the boonies so I can listen to the
Live cast, woohoo!
Durzo (aka David)
Was just informed by the HR department that I’ve exhausted all my vacation days until June. I challenged, and lost.
Will that stop me?
BY THE BLACKENED DOORS OF TARTARUS, NAY!
I’ll take the unpaid days, and be damned. Flight’s already booked, I can’t turn back now. (Anyone have any side gig web-dev projects they want an hourly lackey to assist with, so I can recoup the bit of lost income? :eyebrow:)
Ouch, that stinks, but glad you can make it. I wish
I could help out but I am only a boring veterinarian.
You want to assist in a few surgeries? 
have a great time!
Durzo
I’ll be there!!
Sadly, no hub.
