Hey guys.

I will not be able to make Prague this year, so I am 100% going to make it to Hackrifice. I can't wait!

Will there be any accomodations available?

Later!

Let's see, by September I should have one bed, 3-ish couches (one is a hide-a-bed) -- maybe another hide-a-bed (both can potentially fit two people if those people are comfortable with that... and floor space.

So, theoretically, I should be able to host 6 people, maybe more. I will have to confirm this of course. But I would like to give preference to repeat-attendees and [personal] VIPs like Mike Faille and Camille (and Johnny Suderman (and Richelle?)??). I think we should be able to work things out. I will talk to Andrew and perhaps others and see how many people we can host total and in what priority.

You guys can tuck me into some open corner on the floor. I'm a pretty small guy. :)

Andrew, I'll be sure to bring your bags along this trip. It beats shipping them. :wink:

So it seems like this is the out-of-town list so far. Please remind me if I've forgotten your name.

1) Rory Dawson
2) Johnny Suderman (+ Richelle?) (not 100%, I don't think)
3) Mike Faille
4) Camille Surovy
5) James McCullough (+ GF)
6) Byrin Wylie
7) Kevin Regamey
8] Waylon Lew
9) Andrew Dunford
10) Jack

Unconfirmed:
11) Jon Haber
12) Denton Louis
13) More of FAT? (How many?)


I think I should be able to take close to 6 people, so it looks like everybody should have a place to stay, as long as some people are cool with the floor (I may have sleeping bags too -- I used to have a TON, but we may have gotten rid of a bunch). I think Andrew usually takes 3-4 people too.

Uhh... one problem is that I have a mini-van, but it may be otherwise occupied this weekend -- solution? Andrew? I guess if FAT comes they will have their van, but I assume it will be close to packed to begin with.

just a minor update but i've already put in at work to get the time off for this. so only thing that could potentially keep me from coming is money, which i'm not too worried about as after 10KLF in a week or two, i'll start saving for this.

already excited :D
