Meetup Dates Poll

[Aketuan]

As of right now the dates for the 2012 meetup are July 19-23. These dates have been approved by a majority vote in the planning committee, however we would like your input as to if these dates are ok.

Similar polls have been posted on all forums.

"Vice Chairman" now, eh?

The only thing I have to say about this is that it might be a good idea to tell the EMP/SFM about it.

If they know we're coming back (and in greater numbers) they might be more inclined to synchronize special events with out arrival.

definitely a great idea. I'll talk to Maria Tunvrrtep (PR Rep) about it.

At the moment they're okay with me. Do the dates coincide with the end of the Avatar exhibition at EMP? (Or I guess what I'm asking is) how were the dates picked?

Basically the group got together and looked at all of the weekends in July. (June and August are out because of school)
July 4th weekend - OUT
Bastille Day - OUT

that left two weekends and the consensus was to go with the middle one to avoid any early August issues.

[Empty Glass]

Ah, I see. That makes sense. Good thinking.

[Helicoradian]

Those dates look fine to me

[Human No More]

Fine for me

Now we have a date, we can increase my chance of going to 90%

awesome.

and it looks like the dates work fine for everyone so far.

That works for me. July will be better for me work wise since we end our Q3 in June, so a better chance of me scheduling my time off with no problems. Thanks Aketuan!

[Drewan]

Works for me---I would like to skip my job in the middle of the summer

Also, there is a better than 50% chance that Seattle will have good weather (We all need to think VERY POSITIVE THOUGHTS about that one.....)

I hate to be a stick in the mud, but july is in height of vacation season, so all prices of flights, and hotel, and other things. I wanted to just point that out. June is better, but july is ok.

Yeah I know unfortunately that that will happen, BUT going in July is important as many people have school until late June and the weather is better in July as well...

We need to get as many people to come as possible - sadly, a lot of people will have far less time to in other months.

Anyway, it's us Brits who end up having to pay the most, not you

Very good idea Raiden .... it won't hurt to start our own PR early!
