5th Annual GWC International Meetup - March 15-17, 2013

As a compulsive nerd who sent away in the mail for it when I was 12 years old in 1976, I feel I must correct you:
It’s called the Star Fleet Technical Manual, not the Federation Technical Manual. :slight_smile:

In this timeline, that’s what it’s called. However… aw, you’ll see soon enough.

It looks like I shall actually make it, with all of the scheduling challenges I have had these last few weeks I had given up hope… But I got it cleared. Anyone have floor space for me to rent? Or a shower to borrow? (I can sleep in the truck) :shifty:

Never mind, found me a place nearby nice and cheap. I iz excited!

i’ve got a room for Friday and Saturday - anyone need to share? send me an email - spongebobtanu@gmail.com

Okay, I have got my star trek top, DNA molecule earring and just ordered a Mass effect pendant. I feel ready for Saturday!

I’m thinking that my plans might have to change a tad.
Plan A is to arrive Thursday, but I’m flying with a standby ticket and the Qantas flight for that day is almost fully booked.
Plan B is to catch the Wednesday flight 'cause it has more spare seats.

Is anyone else arriving Wednesday? Or any locals that will be around Wednesday?

I’ll have a better idea about the final flight loads for both flights on Tuesday evening (Australian time) and I’ll make a decision then.
Wish me luck!

I can’t keep track of paper, and I live and die by my Google calendars on my iPhone. So I created a GWC calendar for the meetup, and put in all the events from the website. Here is the link: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=eahtv363972osj3v358m8c9ahk%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Chicago

I hope I shared the link correctly! If you want to PM (or DM on Twitter) me your gmail, I can also send you an invite to the calendar. :slight_smile:

Good Luck friend! :wink:

it says I don’t have permission to view.
:frowning:

Good luck! I know Juan, Beef and Wing will be there by Wednesday so you’d just have to get in touch with them to see what they’re up to. JBob, Badger and I are in early Thursday so we can figure out where you are and link up once we’re in the area then too. :smiley: Can’t wait to see you again!

I’ll check it again and make sure I have the permissions set up correctly. Whoops!

Not local, but I’m not heading out til Monday. Didn’t think 'bout heading out later for better seats. :slight_smile:

Of course let me know, but the only ones I know will be around Wednesday are NightWing and Beef (and of course the crew).

Thanks Raemani, I’ll be in touch and let you know which flight I’m on.

Thanks Julie! I can’t wait to see you again too! :slight_smile:

OK, all notes are out to those who have requested rides. If you did not get a DM here or on Twitter please get in touch ASAP.

There are few minor things still up in the air, and if anyone is renting a car and wants to help on Thursday afternoon it will help make sure 1 person doesn’t have to make more then 1 trip to the airport.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Just so everyone knows, I checked with the front desk and we get complementary Wi-Fi. Just pick the 1 day option, but select to charge the room.

Thanks again to Chuck, Sean, Audra and Juan for a fantastic meet up experience! This was my 3rd meetup, and it did not disappoint. The hotel was in a great location, and it was so nice to be able to walk down the street at 2:00 am with GWC friends for breakfast and coffee. The panels on Saturday were interesting and there was something for everyone. And of course just getting to hang out with GWC-ers both new and old was the best part. I also got to meet THE SOLAI, so how could I possibly complain about that?

Glad the meetup went well for everyone. Really wish I could have made it out and look forward to the next one

I can’t believe I missed it doh
