    Aiming for Saturday but details aren't worked out. So far everyone I've talked to said they would go so I'd expect we'll get 40+ people and I'm hoping we're all in garb! :D

    I have my room reserved.
    My son just discovered I'm going and wants to go also.

    The problem is, we can share a room but the only package available for the special rate is for a King Size bed and not two Queen or Double beds.

    Seems unfortunate to not have more room types available for the meeting.
    (Or did I miss something?)

    I was able to reserve a room with two queen beds using the group code SOTA.
    Perhaps, they are sold out ?

    Edit: You could also ask if they have a cot or pull out bed that they could put in the room for you. Might not be as comfortable as two beds but it might work for you.

    You may be correct.
    I will shoot them a message and see if there are more available.
    The only ones they show with two queens is considerably more expensive per day.

    Thanks
    p.s. I'm going anyway, even if I have to sleep on the floor :p

    We had more but they sold out. I would suggest calling them and asking to change to the other type of room. I know we had 1 of the 2 queen rooms left for $129 group rate 5 days ago when I checked but I didn't see one when I just checked now. Sorry.

    If you'd like my son originally booked me a room with a kingsize bed, I just switched it over cause it wasn't under SOT, they gave me the double queen room. Perhaps we can figure out how to change them with the hotel. Give me a PM if interested.

    Hello, everyone! Violation has been in contact with me, and I am going to be dedicating as much of this weekend as needed for creating a Garb page.

    Sorry for the short notice, but, one of the things I plan on including in this will be some examples of people dressed in Garb. As a business owner, I have access to a lot of such photos as far as they type you would see in a catalog or online store.
    I would much rather have an excellent selection of some of the awesome folks in this community, acting and being natural, wearing outfits they put together based on personal tastes that will in turn appeal to the majority of this community more.

    That also in turns allows me to dedicate it to these fines folks and make it more relevant to those using this for ideas for the event. I understand it is short notice, but if you have an image or two you would like to share, please do!


    -Please, only 1-2 images per person. I am going to give each proper image credits, and this is going to be a very time-consuming project. I want to use everyone's if I can.

    -If you're posting the picture, you are giving me permission to use it in relationship to creating a garb page(s). It will be an everything you ever wanted to know, laid out easy to read. Making your own cheaply, styles, buying, quality vs. cost, etc..

    -I promise not to alter the image contents. Only resizing and other stand processing of the file itself, such as compression, format change, etc.

    -Include how you want the people in the picture named. Example: You post a picture with one photo, give me one name "Stile Teckel" or "Eric Higby" or "Eric "Stile Teckel" Higby", as an example. If there are three people in the photo, please give me the names I should use for all three from left to right. I will be cutting and pasting the names so that no errors on proper labelling of the image happens.

    -Please do not include any images with nudity or otherwise inappropriate content.

    -It is not guaranteed I will use it, but will try.

    I think that covers everything. If you have any questions please ask.

    Thank you!

    @Sir Stile Teckel, I am so happy that you stood up. I have a rule not to show my photo on the internet, but in the interest of the event, I "may" send you something, although I am still missing pieces. I hope the garb recommendations will be rather liberal as midevil garb is not easily acquired. However, viking clothing is.

    Well, my earthly husband has encouraged me to step outside my comfy seaside cabana and join all you folks in Baltimore in November. I have booked flights, hotel and transportation for this event. I've NEVER done ANYTHING remotely like this. I'll be traveling alone, which is not foreign to me. I might ask for a walking escort to/from my hotel in the evenings, which is located .2 miles from the convention site. I've asked my insanely talented step-sister for "garb" suggestions. I haven't worn a costume since the late 60s when I trick--or-treated with my siblings. So I'll be the one who looks like they have no idea what they are doing.

    I applaud all of you who are coordinating this. I know what a major undertaking this is. Just being together and meeting like minded folks will be a blast. And I get to check an item off my bucket list which is meeting Lord British (can't wait for the photo op!!!).

    SotA Con 2016 East: here I come!

    Don't feel bad, I won't be dressed up (it's not really my thing). I'll be the girl in T-shirt/shorts all weekend (assuming it's warm enough).

    Any questions about the Baltimore area, feel free to hit me up! (That goes for everyone btw) :)

    I PLAN to dress up but we'll see how it goes. Waiting for my step-sis to check out her storage locker for what I have in mind (she's the comicon and cosplay QUEEN). Hopefully it will all work out but we'll see!

    Not sure I will venture out much beyond the convention. But again, we'll see! Should be a good time had by all!

    Are the rooms all gone for the hotel?
    If not, maybe one of the members of the forum could (subsidize the difference in cost)
    I can kick in a few shekels for you. (all of the difference if no one else volunteers)

    i.e. LadyKiller LOL
    (I hope that is not offensive to you)

    Not offended at all :) True story about that handle (ldykllr)....back in the 90's (or maybe late 80's? I don't remember, it was a long time ago and I'm old) I used to play in an all-girl clan in Quake 2 (and we ended up getting sponsored by Nvidia and played competitively). That is the handle I used and I've used it ever since :)

    That's very kind of you Lesni! Actually, I'm too cheap to spend the $129/night when I can stay across the street for free using my husband's Hilton points. ;)

    My son and I will be there so if you need escorts to cross the street we can accommodate.

    My family and I are planning to go to the Tournament Dinner while we are in town for SotACon. Would it benefit the group sale if I buy tickets through you? I will have little ones with me, so we don't need to sit with the group but if it some how helps out, I would be happy to buy the tickets with you.
