Re: Interest for skmb convention? (2013)
A reminder to all. This is next year, 2013.
I'd hate for someone to show up in Bangor this summer to find themselves all alone and friendless, thinking that this whole thing was a cruel joke played on them by the SKMBers, thus flinging themselves off of a bridge and into the abyss never to be seen or heard from again. OK?

The poll is officially closed and we have a date! So round up your hobs and polish your nobs, start making plans and quit your jobs.... not really, don't quit your jobs. I should get my poetic license pulled for that one. We have chosen the weekend of July 19th, 2013.
Why, that's fantastic news! Thank you for sharing.

I am putting it on my calendar.
Is anyone else bringing their horde, I mean, family?

They'd have to drive to Bucksport ... the Chamberlain just isn't high enough. :biggrin2:
Re: Interest for skmb convention? (2013)
Okay, so it's going to be July 19th (weekend) in Bangor right? Is there a specific hotel this is going to be at or are we not there yet? I'm going to have to start saving ASAP so I'm trying to get an idea of the expenses.

Yes it will be in Bangor but we don't have a specific spot staked out yet. We had mentioned reserving a campsite out of city limits to hold the event and camp out, and maybe those who don't want to camp can find accommodations at local hotels. I don't think that there will be too big of a crowd so I'm hoping finding a place to stay won't be too difficult.
I will get with the organizers this coming week to see where we are in the planning. Gosh I wish I knew WTF I was doing. I am so lame at making ideas happen. However, thank Gan I was born with a butt load of not giving up.

We're not that far along yet. Even what we have is not written in stone but gradually hardening concrete with a view to becoming stone. Stay tuned.

Let me know if there's anything I can do on this end. Getting in touch with the gal at the Bangor Visitors & Convention Center could be a big help in the planning of where to hold the event and she's the one who could put together the bus tour of Stephen King sites if people are interested.

Only because you have nothing else to do, Mod, and because you just so happen to live there, we will probably use you as a local resource for continuing, good ideas and specific help. I think to contact the lady you mention is a perfect idea; in fact, to begin to gather as much info as she may supply sounds like the perfect next step to me.

Is anybody tossing a ballpark attendance figure around yet? 20? 100? Seems like that would have a lot to do with the planning.
