Saturday, February 18, at noon, we will meet by Grant Nature Park, behind the elementary school off of Normandy Ridge Road near the east entrance. From there we'll hike across the creek to the western fire pits, where we'll be hanging out for ... a while. You can take a look the park map to see specifically where we'll be; it's marked with buckeyes. Also, here's a Google Maps link if you have any questions about how to get to the general area. (Maybe we can search for that mysterious Guitar Center that seems to be in the middle of the park as well.)At some point, probably around dinnertime, we will leave from the park to Archers Tavern, and then we'll go from there to (probably) a hotel for the night. Those who live nearby or can't be there for both days are welcome to hang out with us at the hotel anyway – not only because more people make it more fun, but also because with more people pitching in for the cost, it makes the per-person cost a lot cheaper. As usual, we'll be aiming the projector at the biggest wall we can find, watching ponies and other assorted things until everyone is too tired to use their computers.
For Sunday, PaulB from the forums suggested that we visit the Bronies panel at FASFAC's UD Con, so we're doing that. Aside from that, we'll do our usual toy run, stopping by Toys"R"Us, Target, and WalMart to help these stores get rid of all those ponies on their shelves.
UD Con is free to enter, but you may want to arrive a bit early because our convention is so awesome you will all have to sign a waiver before entering (not kidding).
ReplyDeletePoint noted. Thanks for the heads-up.
DeleteIf we are able to go for both days, but dont have enough cash for the hotel room, is there anyway for us to stay at like the Pony or something?
ReplyDeletePony.... house? We'll all be at the hotel as far as I know.
DeleteThere might be someone in Dayton who's willing to hold a wayward stranger for a night. Dunno.
Oops, yeah, meant to say "Pony House," heheh, was on the phone with Ziggomatic, talking with him while I was typing. How much do you estimate the cost of the hotel with be per person?
DeleteProlly around $10-20 per person depending on the number of people and if we get more then one room.
DeleteWell thats way more reason than what I was originally thinking, which was like $25-40
DeleteEeyup. Our goal is to make it cheap. More people = less per person :)
DeleteAlso, I have great news! I have fixed my speaker vest! It no longer drains the battery when its being played when it's plugged into the wall! Now, when it's plugged in, it can play the speakers AND charge the battery! It's no longer finicky either when it's plugged in. We could use them with the projector, if you'd like.
ReplyDeleteSee, I don't need anything. Just a section of floor. LOL
ReplyDeleteDayton: two hours away
