...and her'e something to kick around amongst us all....looking to the next Kon...I propose skipping next year and holding one in Colorado in 2016...this way, we will have time to save the money and get plans in place...just my thought, because I honestly feel that trying to do one of these every year is too financially draining and would allow a bigger attendance when they ARE held...
If it's an open invitation, I'd LOVE that one!

Ah, and there's the rub ;) As long as we have kids at home, that will not be us--lol! Still, two years to prepare (and not too far away!) makes it doable :)
...well, remember-you gotta grease my palm with cookies, and that is no meager amount of baked goods-just cut your kids back to one meal a week...that should help...

I can't GUARANTEE anything with 100% certainty yet, & am unsure where I will stay, but I'm going to try my best to come to KING KON 2014! I hope I can, because I can hardly wait to meet all of you guys, let alone see SHAWSHANK PRISON up close! Many THANKS to everyone helping organize it, ESPECIALLY GNTLGNT ! :)
...even though it's a race weekend at the Mid-Ohio course...rooms are still available around the area, but if you're serious about making it(I hope you are)-get one booked now....and by the way, sucking up only works when you have cookies in hand...:biggrin2:

Oh I'm SERIOUS, do camp grounds have to be booked in advance? If I should need to SUCK UP, I have a GREAT RECIPE for chocolate chip cookies, you didn't think that you're the only COOKIE MONSTER around, did you? ;)

...not sure about campgrounds, just check in at the Visitors & Conventions Bureau for Richland County Ohio, and they should be able to point you to that info...lots have to be reserved in advance, but "transient" camping-so to speak, I don't know...

...in lieu of having a big-azz facility on a lakeshore for this years Kon, as we did in Maine-I'm thinking about a Saturday "everybody grubs together" gathering at the Golden Corral in Mansfield....plenty of food, and they have a banquet room I could check on availability for, if the majority would be interested...

Beware Ohio---
I've been apartment hunting for my daughter in Memphis - midtown, downtown, on the edge of some sketchy areas. So whilst looking at one I really liked, I asked a neighbor if she felt safe there - if the neighborhood was a good one. And she said, "It's all safer than Ohio", and walked on. Hmmm, not sure what to make of it. Careful sleeping in your car at rest areas then!
