Leaving depends on who you're talking to. Shane, Rachel and I will be leaving the night of Thursday the nineteenth/morning of Friday the twentieth and are planning to arrive sometime around elevenish AM on Friday. We'll be staying at the hostel Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights and leaving sometime on Monday the twenty-third, but not too late as Rachel and I both will have work on Tuesday. I believe Katie, Mai and Matt are planning to stay another day or two beyond that, but arriving around the same time as us.
If you're interested in the hostel, let me know. We'll probably end up with another full room, at the least.
Also, folks, it's looking like time to potentially get more organized. Looks like whoever I talked to at the hostel wasn't getting my wording, six is NOT the limit. The room we've booked, according to Rachel's correspondence with them, is two full beds and four twins. Rachel and I have obviously claimed one full bed to share and all the other beds are taken. We might also be squeezing Katie's friend Kyle in there with us (Rachel E-Mailed them back to ask about it) if we can add him on to the deposit.
Aside from that, here's a tentative list of folks I've spoken with who might need lodging:
To my knowledge, the following are probably going and need lodging, but I have not spoken with them personally:
MBeran Matt, Liz (Missconceptions, whose status I'm unsure of since her carpool appears to have dried up) and Oli. If you guys could get in touch one way or the other so I can determine who's in need, that'd be cool.
Bryan (Storm Rider) has expressed interest in going, but would need a passport and has a few other obstacles. The situation is ongiong.
From there, we've got a group of probables who've professed interest in the hostel:
Steven (Ackblom and his fiance probably), Phil (Boro_Bandito), Jordan (Ozymandias) and Malorie (cupcakeonastick).
Beyond that are complete unknowns to me. Tommy mentioned that Ruyi, Pete and Drick might be coming, but I've not spoken with any of them and am unaware of their potential lodging.
That puts us at, by my count, an additional 9 people possible for the hostel. I've also brought up the idea with my younger brother and he said he'd be very interested in getting involved (He's twenty-one and cool shit, only a bit more of a twat than I am). I'd lay heavy odds that we're clear to get people involved for a second room with potential for setting up a third at some point.
Note: After having spoken with someone at the hostel, they've told me they have seventeen total rooms and are a relatively small place overall. We've booked one as it is and I'm not sure how long the place'll stay free. Looking online, it's very highly rated and apparently quite popular, so if you'd like to get in on it, I'd recommend acting ASAP. As before, I'd appreciate people who are 100% going and are interested in the hostel PMing me to let me know so we can get an official headcount for a second room. From there those involved can pick someone to rely on to book the room (The deposit for seven people for three nights came to $64). We're at the getting serious point now and I'd ask that only people seriously interested folks ask to reserve a spot for them, as someone will have to put money down to book it and I don't want to see someone get fucked over. Pretty soon, I'd like to hand this off to the folks who need lodging themselves, though.
