Is it too late to sign on for this? Jim and I still have some thinking/planning to do, but right now we would like to give it a try, barring blizzards! We're old Texans who don't handle snow well.
I sure would love to meet some other clusterheads, though, snow or no.

As long as the hotel has rooms available, it's never too late.

You can knock that shit off right now!
Repeat after me:
Four-wheel drive, all-season radials.
Four-wheel drive, all-season radials.
Four-wheel drive, all-season radials.
You may not be used to it, but up here we ARE. If it snows, we have people whose special purpose in life is to get it out of the way for visitors.
Now make your reservations and arrange to rent a vehicle if yours doesn't fit the above description. Did I mention four-wheel drive, all-season radials?
Seriously, it would be grand to meet you and Jim.

The quoted room rates are $89.99 single, $99.99 double...poolside is probably more so check when you make your reservations if you want poolside.
We can have a hospitality room for $95.00 per night if we take it for 2 nights. The going rate on the suite is $159.00 per night....so we got a little deal there. If anyone wants to book the hospitality suite (as their room) they can....there is a Murphy Bed. But....if you do, don't plan on much sleep.... 
They are fairly busy on Thurs., Jan. 17th, so if your arriving then you need to make your reservations soon. Also, if you have any kind of discount available (AAA, NRA, AARP) tell them when you book your rooms.
Oh....the hospitality room holds approx. 20 people. and can be used as late as we want (the banquet rooms have to be empty by 12:30 am). The atrium has to be empty by 11:00 pm. There is still smoking allowed in the atrium and we can take our own food and beverages in.
It would be nice to update the list.... so if your planning to attend let us know, please.
That's all I have for now....
Hope to see a bunch of you in January....

Fellow procrastinators.......unite! I'm proof there are STILL great rooms available! And flights too! Last minute Joe here...........
We are doing a cruise with my family that docks on Thursday, January 17th, to beautiful, sunny WARM Mazatlan Mexico.....I may have mentioned it's WARM there. Friday morning I'll hop a jet to the frozen tundra wasteland heretofore referred to as....Iowa! To an ariport called ......Moline? (Wasn't that an old country song??? No that's Jolene....or Abilene??? But I digress..)
I'll see all of your smiling faces sometime after 3:00 on Friday depending on shuttle times etc. I am soooooo looking forward to this. Christy, on the other hand, thinks I'm nuts. Since she will be traveling back east the following week she has elected to pass on this adventure so once again you'll miss the opportunity to meet the woman who has put up with me for 27 plus years!!! An open invitation to the rest of you procrastinators to get off the stick!

Joe,
Do you even know what snow, sleet and ice even looks like?
Be gentle with him east-coast/midwestereners. I don't believe Joe even owns a jacket.

Booby - Davenport isn't on the east coast. Unless you consider the Mississippi an ocean.
I hope your London Fog styling is down-filled. In these parts we go for the Midwestern styling - overstuffed down that makes you look like the Michelin man.

Guiseppi,
If you do end up with the Michelin Man overstuffed kind of coat, be careful......once you fall over into a snow drift, you will never be able to stand up again. It can be very entertaining to watch  .

Guiseppi,
Here are some fun activities for you try while you are at DavCon:
Making snow angels
Writing your name in the snow
Flag pole licking
Wearing a neck tie at Sneaky Pete's
And, as Linda said, pics of these activities are mandatory.

Well, put me down as I will be there... But I will only be coming early Friday afternoon and leaving Saturday evening. My nerves can only stand leaving the boys home with hubby for that long, before I start to worry that the house will be in total ruins when I get home. I am thinking I will take Friday off from work and head up that morning.
